  • Hidden Peaceful Oasis in the Middle of Bustling Surroundings. While walking, we found these 3 “cottages” sitting on a huge treed property hidden behind a high fence covered with blooms of all kinds. It was love at first sight. We stayed for 4 months and we have only positive comments to make about the location, the cottage itself, the gardens, and the wonderful energetic owners, Barbara and Sugrim. Location: As you can read for yourself in the description provided by Barbara and Sugrim, Glenville Gardens is close to everything. For us, the short walk to the beach (5 minutes), followed by crossing the street and going for our “latte” and getting our daily dose of people watching, was a real bonus. We even discovered that the gym 2 minutes away from Glenville Gardens also offered yoga classes. We don’t bother with car rentals while in Barbados, so the proximity to the bus route was ideal. “Estelle” our cottage: From an immaculate airy cottage (3 screened doors to provide airflow) with a well appointed kitchen, 2 large bedrooms (one to accommodate our many visitors), a/c in the bedrooms which we never used (the ceiling fans were sufficient for us) to the special touches –cut flowers throughout the cottage, -fresh fruit from the garden left on our doorstep, -plateful of Barbara’s famous coconut bread, we soaked it all in and enjoyed every minute of it -including the basket full of children’s beach toys we found on our doorstep when our grand-children came to visit. The gardens: There is no need to socialize if you want to meditate. Each cottage has its own private space. On the other hand the grounds are full of fruit trees which we tasted often and our grandchildren were delighted to spot the turtles and the green monkeys. Barbara was the living encyclopedia that filled me in on the names of plants/bushes/ trees. Barbara and Sugrim, the energetic owners: Legend has it that Sugrim and Barbara came to Barbados on their honeymoon and Sugrim is to have said: “One day I will retire and buy a house here and walk to the beach everyday….” Well the dream came true and they seem energize by this new venture that is Glenville. Their time and energy is spend in making everyone’s stay at Glenville a memory to cherish. They are perfect hosts, welcoming and warm, helpful without “hanging in your face”. Even as we sit 2000 miles away from Barbados, both my husband and I can still “hear” Barbara’s warm, hearty laugh and we smile as we re-live our Glenville experience.
