About Maria Bartrum
Stradbally Villa has been our family holiday home since 2006, having spent a couple of years living on the Island. We instantly fell in love with Barbados for the relaxed and chilled out lifestyle and perfect escape from the UK winter weather.
Maria Bartrum purchased this Villa in 2007
Why Maria Bartrum chose Douglas
The Heywood's Park estate is a friendly and quiet community, with a mix of locals and ex-pats. We have a wonderful manager called O'Brian, and he does a great job, along with Maurice, looking after our home and welcoming our guests. We love the charm and character of Speighstown and feel we're in the "real" Barbados". To view previous guest reviews visit Trip Advisor or contact Maria for details.
What makes this Villa unique
We love to walk down to the beach first thing in the morning and again just before sunset for a swim in the sea. We live like the locals and enjoy buying local produce from Speightstown and spend our days soaking up the warm weather. In the evenings we stroll to Speightstown for a beer, there is a good choice of cafes, bars and restaurants in the town. If you decide to stay in our home, we can provide a list of recommendations of restaurants/cafes to suit all budgets and places to see, based on our own experiences.

Tropical serene paradise in a perfect location
We were lucky enough to stay at this beautiful villa, enjoying the tropical gardens, cool breeze, and the gentle short stroll down to the most perfect quiet beach. We did not want to leave at the end of our 2 week stay.
The rooms are wonderfully light and airy with all the mod-cons we could want, including great wifi. Our favourite spot was the balcony off the master bedroom where we would watch the beautiful sunsets in the evening, as well as the hummingbirds.
The manager (OB) was very helpful if you needed anything or had any questions, and the owners (Maria and Tony) were great at communicating with us.
The location is ideal. The villa itself if in a lovely quiet spot, but within a short stroll down to the historical Speightstown, where there are lots of local shops and bars where you can eat, drink or listen to live music.The villa is also a short walk to a main bus station where we enjoyed the reggae bus experience!
We have already booked another stay at this villa and can't wait to get get back! It's a hidden gem - our little paradise.
We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit again with us recently and so pleased to hear you had a great time. Thank you for taking the time to write your review, we hope you visit us again. Maria & Tony
The property is a very good looking villa
WE had a fantastic holiday in a fantastic villa. It is extremely well equipped, and very comfy. It is in a lovely location, not far from a wonderful beach. the manager was very helpful, with very good customer service. I would recommend this villa to anyone.
Thank you Colin for your excellent review and so pleased you enjoyed your holiday, you would be most welcome to stay in our home again, should you return.
Regards
Maria & Tony
Beautifully spacious, Fantastic location!
We were absolutely delighted when we arrived at the villa. It was perfectly located just a couple of minutes walk from the bus stop.
The villa itself was surrounded by tropical fruit and palm trees - a real piece of paradise!
Inside it was wonderfully clean and spacious with everything we needed, from a supply of towels and fresh linen, to a fantastically equipped kitchen, which even a fruit blender - perfect for fruit smoothies and cocktails!
We were delighted with how close the villa was to the beach - only a short stroll away. The beach itself was a wonderful sandy beach, which we often had all to ourselves. Just up the beach is Port St Charles, which meant we were able to watch all the glamorous boats pass by.
We hired a car for half the holiday, but decided to use the public transport for the rest of the time as we were so close to the bus terminal. This was a fantastic experience as we got to see lots of the island and get stuck into local life.
One of the best moments I had in Barbados was in the villa, sitting on the balcony off the master bedroom and watching the many glorious sunsets, enjoying the gentle breeze through the tropical trees.
We are already looking to book our next holiday here, completely perfect in every way.
