Ideal for beach pool buses shops....

We had a comfortable two week stay at the villa. Lovely clean tidy pool within easy reach. Very handy for buses into and out of town. Everything that you might need is within easy walking distance. Wendy, Jeanette, Mark all very friendly and helpful.We appreciated being able to leave our luggage in a safe place as we had a late flight on departure.We enjoyed the birds and the monkeys too as we sat on the patio having breakfast.

excellent in all respects. Property, information, etc all really good. Location is particularly good with cafes, bars and shops close by but in particular, access to the Beach Club, over the road was a real positive.

Amazing location and easy to deal with

Amazing location in holetown. Great to have access to the private pool right next to the beach for the properties in the area. It was never too busy while we were there (end of the season / crop over). The rooms all have good air cons units that worked well (despite the extra humid weather!). Ideally the kitchen could benefit from a fan as well, but we didn't use it that much due to all the places around us. The bedrooms and living areas all had fans too which was great, plus the outdoor patio was very useful every day. Great communication with Wendy the owner and Janice who came and did the cleaning and new sheets / towels. Happily stay again!

Villa break

I enjoyed he outside patio area and ate out there all the time. I cooked a lot so was grateful that the utensils to cook where adequate. Convenient location for supermarket transport and use of the beach house. We ate there one night and the portions were generous and food a good standard at a reasonable price.

Perfect base for exploring Barbados

Wendy's house is perfect for a family (our kids are 15 and 18), with great facilities, a lovely outdoor area, and easy access to the beach, the beach club, tennis, the supermarket and other amenities in Holetown. Also, Hotetown is the perfect location as a base for exploring Barbados, with almost everything on the island within 30-45 minutes by car. We had a wonderful 10 day stay, and would certainly recommend the house to others.

Great location

Me and four other grown up friends went to stay for 13 Nights in Wendy's house, and loved it. I think Holetown is the best town when visiting Barbados, and this house has the perfect location. The standard is basic, but nice, we spent almost all or time on the patio in the garden. It was nice and clean. The area felt very safe. Fran greeted us on arrival, and she was so helpful throughout our stay, looking out for us in every way she could and gave brilliant advice on what to see, where to go and where to eat. From the house, you have walking distance to shops, restaurants, bars, beach club with a nice pool, and the most amazing beaches. We swam with turtles approx 500 m from the house! The reggaebuses stops right outside and they took us everywhere we wanted to go for next no nothing (1US$). One day we hired a car and drove up to the north point and down to Balsheba on the east coast. Other than that, we just used the buses to move around, and a couple of times a taxi. We did not like the Oistin Fish Fry that everyone suggested, we had gotten used to the tranquil life in Holetown. I think it is busier in the South. I would not want to stay anywhere else in Barbados, and would love to make it back and rent this house again. Liv, Norway

It was a very comfortable house with all the amenities we required.

We had a very enjoyable holiday. Wendy was very welcoming and we were grateful to her for getting our grocery provisions before our arrival. The house is very well situated to help you make the most of all that Holetown has to offer. The beach is just 5 minutes walk away and we appreciated being able to use the Beach Club across the road. We certainly hope that we will be able to have future holidays in one of Wendy’s lovely apartments.

Clean, spacious, close to beach, ideal property.

The property was 2 minutes from the beach & beach club. The bedrooms were spacious, clean & comfortable. The owner Wendy could not have been nicer or more helpful. She advised us of many beautiful places to go while there. I would highly recommend this property it truest was a home from home. I will definitely be returning.

property was clean, comfortable & well maintained

We were very impressed with this property. Great location and beautiful garden. The house was modern clean with comfortable beds and straight across from the beach. The facilities provided were a real home from home. Nothing was too much bother. Many places to eat and to be honest didn't have a bad meal. We could not recommend this property highly enough. The whole family enjoyed it. Look forward to going to Barbados again and would definatly stay here.

Comfortable, spacious, clean, home from home feel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Allanha. The location of the property was ideally situated for the beach, swimming pool, restaurants and shops. Even the bus stop was just across the road which provides a very reasonably priced form of transport for those not wishing to hire a car- though that was quite reasonable too. My apartment was very well appointed, clean, a comfortable bed and spacious. Customer service by the owner was excellent and very helpful re local amenities information. The lush, well kept tropical gardens were private, well screened and offered shade for those who need it. I would recommend with confidence these apartments to any of my friends and family knowing they would thoroughly enjoy staying there. .

A wonderful stay in the sun

Friendly relaxed environment. Lovely, large and tastefully furnished house. Very close to all amenities. The pool and beach literally a few steps away. The maid service was excellent. The owner was on hand to give me any advice I needed about the places to see and any other queries I had. I would recommend this home (away) to anyone.

Great location desperately needs updating

We arrived on the Sunday in the dark so we were not fully aware of the overall location of the villa, but when we got out in the light the next morning we realised that the location is great, but the place is grubby, everything we touched felt dirty, it's not very well maintained, the garden is very overgrown and the house isn't maintained either, however we just got on with it, we cleaned it up to the best of our ability. There was no spare towels for us to use while there, only the ones left out for us to use in the bathrooms, and although there is a massive wardrobe in one of the bedrooms you can not use it as it is locked (obviously the owners property is in it) anyway we had very severe rain on the Tuesday after arriving (very heavy rain all day) causing floods on the roads, we were out on this day in Speightstown and couldn't get home due to the buses stoppping, we had lunch and a few drinks then got a taxi home and found that the rain was coming in through the ceiling of 2 of the 3 bedrooms, we immediately rang the maintenance guy who said there was nothing he could do as he wasn't a magician! I complained to the owner who suggested we find somewhere else to stay and gave us a refund, we did lose a day and a half of our holiday finding alternative accommodation due to this inconvenience but I can not fault the owners response, but this could have been avoided as there had been previous leaking as stated in a previous review. (The general cleanliness and look of the property is scruffy) I certainly would not stay here again

Great villa in Barbados

My family spent 9 days in this villa. It was perfect for us, 4 adults and 2 kids fit very comfortably. Wendy was a great host and made sure we had everything we need. The villa is in a great location, walking distance to many restaurants and bars in Holetown. Most nights we ate at home on the patio. We rented a car so that we could explore the island and checked out different beaches. The beach across the street from the villa is one of the most beautiful ones in Barbados. It doesn't have a beach chair/umbrella vendor or anyone serving food/drink but it is gorgeous if you need something walking distance. Our kids used the beach club pool as well and that was a very nice perk to have. I highly recommend staying here and we will definitely do that if we visit Barbados again.

Great holiday

Although only two of us we had the villa using just one bedroom which was great. We tend to go out all day and the beaches are all easy to get to by walking or bus and the supermarket was only 5 minutes walk away . We used the Beach House facilities a few times and it was very nice to have. We had a fabulous holiday and loved Barbados and the people.

Excellent as always, very convenient for everythin

This was our 10th (I think) stay at allanha and we had another lovely stay. We spend most of our time in the garden which has loungers, lots of shade and a large covered patio. The kitchen is well equipped with a large cooker which is ideal for entertaining. The beach is a very short walk across the road and through a paved walkway and the beach club is a pleasant place to sit by the pool or have a drink. The other guests are very friendly and Mark, who manages the property, is very helpful. Janice keeps the apartment very clean and is always happy and helpful. We look forward to returning in 2015

Well what a delight to stay here. This is my second visit to the island and Wendy could not make us feel more welcome. The Villa was immaculately clean and only minutes from a stunning beach and very close to shops, restaurants and all local amenities. I would highly recommend staying here it was the icing on the cake to our holiday and I will definitely coming back!!

Brilliant villa for any number of guests

This villa is in the perfect location for exploring the whole of the island and is in Holetown so has every local convenience you will need. We stayed as a couple and the whole villa was available to us except the other two bedrooms, so was very spacious. There was no need to use the air con as the windows all have insect nets and secure metal grids so can be left open and the breeze was fantastic. Outside there is a covered patio for the occasional liquid sunshine and a lovely secluded garden and very comfortable chairs to soak up the sun. Janice, the maid comes a couple of times a week and this is enough as she does a great job. We forgot to bring any beach towels and she went straight home and brought us some! We were hoping to use the Beach Club opposite the villa, but unfortunately the Club has no beach just a pool which leads onto the Boardwalk and the sea. This wasn't a problem as it made us get out and about every day to other beaches. The West Coast is having a lot of work done to it at the moment, but that's to combat the coastal erosion so is very necessary. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa and Wendy to any size of party as this property would easily accomodate six people and there are two smaller properties attached. I would be happy to reply to any mails about this property, as Wendy was very helpful with my enquiries with her. Brian Hall
