DRIFTWOOD COTTAGE... A secluded romantic hideaway, Driftwood Cottage is a beautiful Caribbean-styled, self-catering cottage with large verandah, surrounded by magnificently lush tropical gardens.
It is the perfect place to relax - a large pool is just a couple of steps from the verandah and the cut stone deck is spectacularly surrounded by palms and bougainvillea, orchids and lily ponds. The energetic can swim, the less-so inclined can just dip in every now and then as they retire to the loungers and soak up the sun.
The romantic exterior leads to the even more romantic interior, which boasts a wonderful, eighteenth century four-poster, king-size bed, and high airy ceilings. The living area is uniquely decorated with pottery lighting and accessories designed and made by Sarah at her Pottery Studio.
The fabulously large verandah is ideal for enjoying meals, sipping a rum-punch sundowner, or just relaxing in the hammock or loungers. Here you can gaze down at the tempting aquamarine pool, or just soak in the tropical surroundings - the sun shimmers and filters through the greenery, and hummingbirds and bananaquits dart around in their daily business.
Driftwood Cottage is situated on the north coast of Antigua. Five minutes from the airport and a two minute walk from Jabberwock Beach - the favourite beach of windsurfers and kite surfers. It is also within walking distance of 3 excellent restaurants, Le Bistro, Colonna Sunsail, and The Beehive. Boat trips and car hire can be arranged and St. John’s and supermarkets are just minutes away.
It is an ideal base from which to explore Antigua, or just relax with a good book. Your hosts John and Sarah have a wealth of island knowledge; Sarah runs a fantastic little Pottery and shop in St. John’s and John, a practising lawyer on the island is also a history and ecology buff. Both are extremely helpful and eager to make sure your holiday is a memorable one. |
