About the Hotel

Wind rustles through white plantation shutters at Cobblers Cove, a country manor on the west coast of Barbados where life carries an air of its colonial past. Afternoons pause for English tea in the Great House pavilion, tropical fruit accompanying delicate scones. Each morning, resident fisherman Barker sets out for the day’s catch – join him if you'd like – to be served up at the restaurant awarded best in the country by the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association.

Reviews for Cobblers Cove

A quieter spot on the west coast

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

Stayed for a week - our first time here despite coming frequently to Barbados. The renovation work (front lobby and drive) was still ongoing and am sure will be completed soon. Katisha & Kashae (Reservations) were very helpful. All the staff were excellent. Rooms were spotlessly clean. The footprint of the hotel and gardens is relatively small, however the clever planting of trees and shrubs means it feels very private and tranquil. An easy (flat) 10 minute walk into Speightstown for a change of scene.

Potential Stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Went there today for a potential stay next year. However the young manager totally refused to let us look around saying we couldn’t due to safety & security of the guests. My husband walked off in absolute disgust. We have been coming to Barbados for over 40 years and stayed in many different places on the island but never in Speightstown.I have to say we have never been spoke to with rudeness & arrogance in all the years we have been coming here. We have some friends staying with you next year and I just hope you treat them with more respect than you have done with us today. Needless to say we will definitely not be booking here to stay !!!.

Charm and character with stunning views

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

Cobblers cove is a dream! It's nestled on a gorgeous stretch of beach. The beautiful garden, friendly service, stunning beach, watersports and delicious food make it such a great getaway for those that like charming places full of character. I adore the styling - the pink speed boat, the illustrated drink menu, the custom china and the art in the rooms. Even the backgammon table in the peaceful quiet area matches the aesthetic. Snorkeling with a turtle and riding the speed boat was a great perk. My friend and I enjoyed the peace and luxury, and felt right at home.

Stunning beach from luxury boutique hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

Absolutely love this hotel. It has only a few dozen rooms, but the services it offers guests are unmatched by much larger resorts. Set on a beautiful white sand beach, this charming hotel oozes sophisticated Caribbean charm and luxury. The staff are some of the friendliest and helpful I have encountered. From the welcome drink, to the wet towels and fresh fruit served poolside, to the amazing lounge musicians, to the half an hour per day of included water sports (I opted for snorkelling with sea turtles one day and water skiing the next), the service is world class. The included breakfast is a la carte and incredible. Had dinner here twice and the food is top notch (I think their lobster bisque was the best I have ever had. The bartenders are very generous with their pours. We stayed in the “Mile and a Quarter suite” which was lovely, brand new with a private lanai overlooking the sea. The hotel is expensive, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for (perhaps more given how amazing this hotel is). My only complaint, which is so minor I am hesitant to state, is that I forgot my toothbrush and the hotel charged me a few bucks to supply me one. Seemed odd given everything else about this place.

Been all over the world. I’ll go back here every year for the rest of my life. Ask for Virgil.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

I never imagined the most perfect resort until I got to Cobbler’s Cove. I have been all over the world and I am already planning our trip back here. Every year for the rest of my life. My best friend got married here. We stayed from Thursday to Monday. The staff is beyond anything you can imagine. They take care of you, they genuinely care about you as a person, not just a guest of their resort. The amenities are beyond anything on their website or what you’d expect. I have never been to a resort with the most caring, kind, attentive, and loving people. Please go to this resort just to meet Virgil. You will never meet anyone like him in your life. He took care of me, noticing I needed something before I even realized I did. In making sure I was happy, knowing exactly what kind of drinks I’d like that I didn’t even know I did. If you looked hungry but didn’t realize it from enjoying the sun, he’d just slide a menu over to you. That kind of care. He shines. I won’t spoil his aura on this review. You just have to meet him. Gregory is also someone you will appreciate. These two men are gems. The rooms and the property were incredible, like something you read in a novel. Everything literally was PERFECT. I give honest reviews on other platforms and there’s always some negative thing I could say about a place. For Cobbler’s Cove, my only negative is that I had to leave this place. You’re probably not even reading this anymore and I could write 500 pages about this resort. The staff, the FOOD oh my goodness the food!!! In 5 days, not one thing I didn’t like and I am a picky eater. It was so fresh, with attentive staff they literally will go above and beyond for you. You forget something? They’ll walk in the middle of the night to the gas (petrol) station and get it for you. I asked a staff member to make sure I was awake the next morning. Instead of calling my room, banging on my door, the gardener just happens to come by in the morning and be raking the sidewalk. It was like the most subtle natural way to wake me up. What kind of resort cares about you that much? This one does and I am obsessed. My best friend’s wedding was unbelievable. If you have any doubt in your mind about this place, my husband would say how picky I am and I have not a single bad thing to say about the property, the staff, nothing! I CANNOT wait to go back. Go put your bare feet on the stone patio by the ocean on a place that feels like historic but modern palace and have the best experience of your life. You won’t regret it. It’s a place to escape to and I will for many years. Please go meet Virgil and Gregory. Go see a gorgeous experience with the staff and food that makes you feel like a VIP guest in their home. Can’t wait to go back. Btw, my friend’s wedding was perfect. Weddings are never perfect. This place made a perfect wedding.
