The Crag is a Stunning Jungle Hideaway, built on a coralstone outcrop and set on top of the island amid tropical flora and fauna. This unique house offers total privacy, yet is within easy reach of the shopping, restaurants and beaches of the Platinum Coast. Cooled by breezes night and day. Relax in the hammock and listen to the jungle: treefrogs and cicadas sing in the evenings. The Crag is a world apart from the busy traffic and heat of the west coast. Morning and evening green monkeys visit to feed in the breadfruit and plum trees, easily observed from the treetop balcony and verandah. Despite the searing heat of Barbados you will be totally comfortable in this breezy open plan house, equipped with wooden louvres and ceiling fans.
Centrally located The Crag is an ideal base from which to explore the whole island, it is less than 10 minutes from Holetown and both coasts. All beaches have open public access in Barbados, from the pink sand and tumbling surf of the Crane to the 'exclusive' Sandy Lane, and there are lots of beaches to discover. The Crag was rebuilt in 1997 in traditional Bajan style with an shaded outdoor terrace and dining area among the tropical treetops. Dramatic views both into the colourful garden around and below but also southward and westward to the Caribbean Sea.
Two double suites with ensuite bathrooms on the upper floor open onto the edge-to-edge balcony with views to the sea, while a third twin bedded room on the ground floor has its own bathroom next door. Additional accomodation can be made available in a large room under the verandah. It has twin beds and windows onto the jungle, suitable for teenagers.

Why the Owner Chose Gregg Farm
We have known and loved Barbados for many years. The Crag provides a peaceful alternative to the busy beachfronts. We have total privacy yet are not far from all attractions. A great place to cool off after a day on the beach.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Not overlooked, cool and breezy, abundant wildlife. Life is very chilled. Stunning views over the new Apes Hill Golf Course.

With our three boys we spent 2 wonderfull weeks at the Gregg. The house was in excellent shape and we did in fact not miss the air condition. There is always a breeze that makes you feel comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms are fine - you wont´t miss anything. The Gregg is a good starting point for West and East coast beaches and is close to Holetown whith it´s nice places for dining and shopping. We had a great time at this place.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+.
private perfect spot!

We spent 12 wonderful days at the Crag in feb 2011. The house was perfect for us and our 2 young children, but could easily accomodate more people. The pool kept the children busy for hours and the quiet secluded spot was perfect for us all. The house is really close to Holetown and all the west coast beaches but also felt far away from the hustle and bustle and very peaceful. the house is very clean and cool because it is nicely positioned .The photos actually do not do the property justice and it is even better than it looks in the photos.The owners were very helpful and gave some helpful tips and directions to help enjoy our stay. We loved our stay here it is a perfect family house or for couples too as each bedroom has privacy and an en suite bathroom. We would highly recommend the Crag, we hope to retrun soon!
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.
