An aura of understated class pervades this charming hotel hideaway, with many of its guests returning every year for an authentic Barbados experience. The attractive, colonial-style building with its iconic, coral-coloured Great House, vibrant tropical gardens and lovely rattan furnishings, overlooks a white-sand beach on Barbados's west coast. Pleasantly secluded, you are still only a short drive from some lovely restaurants and bars — that's if you can drag yourself away from the gourmet wonders of award-winning Camelot Restaurant which offers mouth-watering cuisine, weekly barbeques and a special seafood menu including a selection of freshly-caught local fish. There's a generous array of sports, which include tennis and complimentary daily lessons in water-skiing, sailing and windsurfing for each guest. The spacious suites are beautifully furnished and are packed with amenities. Each has its own balcony or terrace, dressing area and large bathroom filled with REN soaps and toiletries.

Just spent 8 nights at this beautiful hotel, mostly everything was great, room was spotless and well equipped, nice to have so many coat hangers, bed was super comfy. Plenty of comfortable sun loungers. Just a couple of niggles, breakfast was a challenge, poor selection on buffet, menu was ok but not everything available and service not great, states on website no shorts for men in evening but even though I asked on bbq nite and reception still said long trousers only, most gents were in shorts so is it a rule or not?? Also says Adult only apart from festive season but a couple of babies there although they weren’t a problem but not the point really. Overall a lovely stay and would return .

All the best bits in one

This was our 5th trip to Barbados, in a different hotel each time, and it was as if Cobblers Cove had taken the best bits of all the others and created the perfect hotel. The staff were all very friendly, efficient and helpful and we felt at home from the minute we arrived.
Our beautiful and spacious room was apparently the cheapest level and located towards the rear of the gardens, but actually this was great for us as all the rooms had glass in the windows (rather than shutters in the living area) and full air conditioning. It was away from any noise from the bar and was extremely spacious (a suite rather than just a room) and we loved it. The bed was comfortable and the suite was kept immaculately clean.
Breakfast was delicious and the views were just perfect. We didn't eat in the restaurant as we had a hire car and were often out with friends, but we had a couple of bar meals which were very tasty. The pool area and gardens were beautiful and the sunbeds were nicely situated and very comfortable.
The only thing you might want to consider before booking this hotel is that access to the beach and sea can be a little tricky at times, and there are no sunbeds actually on the beach, but if this doesn't worry you then I would highly recommend this hotel. We came home relaxed and looking forward to our next trip to Barbados.

We had a two week family (age 10 & two older teenagers) holiday at Cobblers Cove and couldn't recommend it more highly. Everything from our greeting upon arrival, (including correspondence prior to arrival), clean beautiful bedrooms, lovely food, great location, exceptionally beautiful gardens and most importantly ALL the staff are friendly and helpful. All the facilities are great and everything is in good condition and well maintained. We arranged a sailing cruise and deep sea fishing trip with reception which was quick and easy. My husband and son caught a huge King Fish and tentatively took it to the kitchen asking if the chef could cook it. Oh my goodness, he put in so much effort, marinading it all afternoon and preparing an amazing meal for us. The usual watersports are available and I was impressed with the guys working there, very attentive and professional and actually keeping their eye on people out on the water. It's a lovely cosy hotel, not too big not too small, felt very luxurious and relaxing but enough for the kids to entertain themselves with, although to be honest being able to swim with so many fish and turtles right on the beach was enough. The best place we have stayed in Barbados so far so conflicted as don't want it to get too difficult for me to book again!!!! So go somewhere else everyone please :-)

A Perfect Stay
This was our 1st time at Cobblers Cove and everything about our experience was exceptional from the time we arrived until we left. No delay in being taken to our room, our luggage already waiting allowing us to get settled in. The entire place was clean and tidy. The staff takes a lot of pride in the hotel. We had a ocean front room and we loved having a cup of coffee on the deck each morning. The breakfast was amazing as well as our beautifully presented meals. Given the resort is on the west side of the island, the view of the sunsets each night was amazing. We ate dinner in the restaurant and had bar food a couple of times during our stay, both were great. We had a wonderful stay at Cobblers Cove and we'd definitely recommend. A perfect stay.

Beautifully furnished. Looks amazing. Our room was great. But the whole experience was spoilt by patchy service throughout and the fact that we were constantly hassled by certain staff for tips.

Beautifully furnished. Looks amazing. Our room was great. But the whole experience was spoilt by patchy service throughout and the fact that we were constantly hassled by certain staff for tips. Generally the more surly and senior the member of staff the more overt the hassling for tips. It was literally relentless towards the end of our stay.
This was galling because we did tip throughout our two week stay. It left a really nasty taste and gave the sense a) that tipping was necessary to secure good service and b) that staff were competing for favour and tips rather than working collegiately and c) this was a problem of management: all was not well in the management of the front of house/client facing elements of the operation which seemed very laissez faire.
