Stugan är karibisk stil, väggarna är täckta med träbältros, med fönsterluckor och ett stort öppet däck. Det ligger undangömt i en avlägsen och skogbevuxen dal. Det är en kort promenad från parkeringsplatsen till stugan - en smal väg täckt av bambublad. Det finns en uteplats med ett uteservering och en grill. Köket är öppet sido, fåglar som flyger igenom! Det finns allt du behöver från espresso kaffebryggare till knivspärr! Krukorna och pannorna hänger på väggen. Kabinen är helt eko och drivs med solenergi, socklarna är 110v USA med en 1000 watt inverterare. Allt vatten är regnvatten. Duschen är öppen. Sovrummet är stort med fönster på 3 sidor. Dörren på 4: e sidan leder Narnia som genom garderoben till köket och duschen. Från den nätade himmelssängen tittar du genom balkong och trädgård till bergen som omfattas av citrongräs. Det finns bekväma stolar och en hängmatta på balkongen, perfekt för en lounge med en bok (det finns ett urval) och ett glas två! Stugan har en trädgård och teak lounge stolar för dig att titta på stjärnorna eller sola ... Även om vi är i denna tysta och dolda dalen är det bara en ganska underbar kort bilresa ner Fig Tree Drive till närmaste strand vid Carlisle Bay. Utan Carlisle Bay är några av de bästa stränderna i Antigua utlagda före dig längs västkusten, sidan med Karibiska havet.

Beautifully quaint
You are immersed in the forest and wildlife a Louise’s Tranquil Farm and it has so much charm. We loved our stay.We hindsight we should have hired a jeep to get to faraday, as the roads were challenging in our little Toyota.Louise was a perfect host, making us some homemade goodies and a bottle of wine to enhance our stay.

Great experience in a lovely location.
What a fantastic place to stay, if you are wanting to get away from it all then Tranquil Farm lives up to its name. We spent a week in this lovely cabin surrounded by the sounds of the woodlands. The accommodation is really comfortable and beautifully furnished and has a really homely feel to it, the owners have really made an effort and we loved it.

Perfect peaceful cabin
The location requires a car, 4x4 ideally, but once you find it it’s a wonderful peaceful place with all the amenities you need. There was even a bottle of wine and some food to see us through the first night. The cabin is ideal for people that want out of the hustle and bustle and want to relax in nature, with the dogs, chickens and birds making a regular appearance. Highly recommend a visit!

Great Eco Cottage Experience
The location is great for a restful holiday!! The cottage is cute and very well done. We had everything we needed.
The host were great and the welcome food was spot on and needed!
The dogs are super friendly maybe too friendly, if you don’t love that sort of thing.
We would do it again.

A wonderful stay
I stayed with my daughter in this remote eco lodge , and it was perfect! Louise had food for us for us in the fridge for our first meal and breakfast, wonderful touch!
The place is very private. Extremely well appointed, great wifi also.
We had a great stay, taking a shower looking at the night sky feels very special! Thank you Louise!

Splendid Isolation
Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Tranquil Farm with Louise. She is a superb and gracious hostess and the property was even more perfect than I had imagined. You'll want a 4x4 (as you will anywhere in Antigua), otherwise, it's a totally self-contained paradise. Can't wait to come back. Thank you, Louise!

What we needed!
Louise's place is absolutely AMAZING! My partner and I had the best time. We did absolutely nothing but enjoyed the scenery, the sounds of the ducks, chickens and birds. Sleeping with the windows opened and we especially loved the view of the sunrise from the bed.
It didn't hurt having a few friendly visit from Chloe🐶 and Bash 🐶either.
After a busy year, this was exactly what we needed "TO RELAX".
Thank you Louise! We will be back!

Beautiful cabin surrounded by nature
We had a wonderful stay. The cabin is as charming as the photos and has even more special touches than we knew about. Old-fashioned kitchen implements, lovely food in the refrigerator, charcoal crayons and paper, chickens, birds, and two endearing canine ambassadors who adopted us. We especially loved the open-air kitchen, dining area, and shower surrounded by lush trees and a mini-rain forest. Martin, who took care of us, could not have been more gracious, helpful and enlightening about the island. We had a storm one day that kept us at home, and it was the best day of the vacation.
Only one piece of advice - consider renting a car with four-wheel drive, maybe a SUV that's higher off the road because the roads are rocky.

If you love Nature, you will love Eco Cabin
Everything, but the bedroom is outdoors which is exactly what I expected. If you are looking for a location in the heart of a town you will be disappointed. But if you love birds on the handrail while you sit on the porch having coffee, mongoose running thru the trees 20 ft. away, and nature I can not think of any better location. Louise is a great host. And my wife, who is a accomplished baker states that het homemade bread is the best that she has ever eaten!

What an amazing experience…..
To start, Louise is a lovely host and makes you feel so welcome. The Eco Cabin is just what we expected, one with nature. You soon adjust to all of the forest noises that lull you to sleep. It’s so relaxing sitting on the terrace listening to the birds during the day and the crickets and frogs at night. Nature is all around you and you’re reminded of this constantly in the most amazing ways. This is a must to experience and we ll definitely be going back again. Thank you Louise.

Idyllic cabin in the woods
If your childhood had memories of a summer cabin with the sound of frogs, crickets, creaking trees and a cool breeze singing you to sleep at night you’ll love this cabin. It’s a bit rustic but with lots of comforts and a big front porch with comfy chairs for taking it all in. Our favorite stay of 5 during our extended visit. But you must love animals - friendly dogs and chickens. Louise makes you feel right at home from a welcoming meal to thick bathrobes. The outside shower is a treat. Put Sawcolts Methodist Church in your GPS to make it easy to find. It’s just a minute or two from there. Book it!

A great novel
Words may just not be enough to convey our extraordinary experience at this beautifully and sustainably designed cabin nestled in the lush green hills of the island. Louise has built a wonderful homestead that truly escapes time and brings you to a place that feels like the setting of a great adventure novel with all supporting characters present, including a couple of friendly and playful dogs, chickens supplying your first mornings eggs, roosters waking you to enjoy breakfast with the birds and morning light on the porch, and the duck that occasionally laughs (at you?) in the distance.
Louise also knows how to make her guests feel right at home, is available if needed, though leaves you to enjoy the surroundings completely at your own leisure. We were even welcomed with quality provisions in the fridge upon arrival. Such a well thought place must be accompanied by a thoughtful host after all!
The location is a great launching point to explore the island, particularly the more remote and breathtaking southwest, the closest beach being a short drive through the rainforest down Fig Tree Drive at Carlisle Bay with water so clear that spear fishers are out on a calm day. On top of that, a beach outing is made that much more comfortable with amenities available as though you're at home.
I could write a book about Louise's place, but I'm running up on the word limit and because you can actually go and experience it yourself, I highly recommend just that!

Favorite accommodation in the Caribbean
We have been to several Caribbean islands, and Louise's cabin in the woods is by far our favorite place we have stayed. It is more charming than the posted images, if that is possible. Louise couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. While a 4-wheel drive is a necessity and the location is off the beaten track, it is well worth the extra effort to find this little piece of heaven. It is a destination itself--great local walks (with or without her very friendly and well-behaved dogs) and a chance to see a part of the island most visitors don't. The outdoor shower feels very private and has the best hot water. The flush toilet, electric lights, and gas-powered refrigerator all make you forget how eco it really is. While somewhat out-of-the-way, the cabin is closer to most of the island's more interesting attractions than is, for example, Dickenson Bay, where we had previously stayed. Don't miss Wallings Dam and walking to the top of the hill for a view of Guadaloupe and Montserrat. And Rendezvous Bay Beach is lovely (although, as remote as it is by car--again 4-wheel drive is necessary!--people boat over from Falmouth Harbour and English Bay, so don't expect to be alone). I miss Louise and the dogs and the birds and the cabin and the woods and the entire experience. I want to go back!

Beautiful Cottage off the Grid
This Eco Cabin is completely off the grid, from both a power source and location. Electricity and hot water are solar powered. The kitchen is equipped with refrigerator and new gas stove/oven. Coffee is brewed with a Bialetti espresso pot so if you want to bring your own you could travel with a small electric maker (US plugs) and use outlets in the large bedroom on a desk or out on the covered porch where the lamp is plugged in. The bedroom is nicely appointed with a comfortable bed with mosquito netting, screens on windows, desk, chairs and ample storage space. There is a large selection of books and oil pastels to get creative with. The outdoor shower is large and really nice and has an adjoining toilet room with sink. The covered porch has a dining table and several chairs to read and relax. The large Lasko floor fan can be moved around for your comfort. There is an effective mosquito capture drum and I don't think I got any bites during my three night stay. You just need to cover up before dusk and early morning. The cabin is in the woods and there is nobody around other than the owner, ducks, chickens and roosters, and the owner's two dog friendly security patrol. It is about 10-15 minutes off Fig Tree Drive and probably 30 mins to Jolly Harbor and 30 mins to Falmouth Harbor Antigua Yacht Club area. Even though I had a very small Kia rental, I was able to get in and out, even after heavy rains. If you want to checkout and check-in to nature this is the place for you.

Why stay elsewhere?
While searching for a place to stay during our trip to Antigua, I had several criteria in mind. I'd like to list them and explain how Tranquil Farm met the criteria, revealed new criteria we hadn't thought of, and exceeded our expectations.
We needed to get away from everything! The property offers seclusion without being frustratingly difficult to reach. The central location is ideal for people looking to explore the island. The driveway is really fun to traverse, just make sure you rent a vehicle with some ground clearance!
We wanted peace and a certain kind of quiet! The property is in the rainforest, so quiet nights aren't really an option. However, the noises we sought to and did in fact hear (frogs insects and birds) in the candlelight will put you in a trance while you lie in the four poster under the mosquito netting with the windows up and balancing a cold rum punch on your belly.
We wanted simplicity! Tranquil Farm is completely "off the grid" and can be as primitive as you want it to be. The cottage has lots of windows and the climate is so perfect that air con isn't necessary. There's a continer of fresh water and a charcoal brazier for cooking. There are also lots of candles and kerosene lamps. Not feeling so primitive? There's solar powered LED lighting, a fan, a radio, bedside lamps, wifi, two sinks, a real toilet, well stocked fridge (fed two for nearly a week) and very hot water in the outdoor shower.
The one thing we didn't expect was The owner herself. One of our fondest memories of the trip was getting to know her. We spent hours on our day of departure chatting and drinking delicious coffee. She met our every need as guests and more. She's extremely interesting and has a lot to offer in the way of Caribbean travel advice.
If you're going to Antigua, do yourself a favor and stay at Tranquil Farm. During the long flight home you'll enrapture your fellow passengers with the adventures you're likely to have had in choosing the type of trip travelers who'll find Tranquil Farm appealing. If you want an interesting trip, please make this your home base. The only thing you'll regret is having to leave!

Vraiment un site enchanteur, un petit cottage parfait, l'arrivée extra, déja des vivres dans le frigo, on se sent déjà chez nous. Louise nous a accueilli avec patience et générosité, elle était très agréable avec nous, toujours prête a nous aider, mais discrète. Nous avons apprécié nos conversations avec cette dernière. Nous avons partagé le tout avec la nature et les animaux de la ferme. Une semaine parfaite !

After the last few years this property was exactly what our spirits needed. A beautifully located property away from it all but only 20 minutes from everything. The dogs would ch to in daily and added to the joy this place creates. Louise is so wonderful. Hope to be able to visit again. A must stay when wanting a non resort vacation to Antigua.

Tranquil Days...
The cottage and surrounding property were precisely as described. Upon arrival I found that Louise had delivered a freshly baked loaf of her delicious homemade bread, fresh eggs from her chickens, her homemade pasta sauce and guava jam, and had supplied the refrigerator with butter, cereal, milk and a bottle of wine. Louise was a gracious and attentive hostess throughout my week-long stay and Martin was always ready to help. My stay was "Tranquil" with the exception of manmade noises of high revving engines and barking dogs., unfortunately often into the late hours of the night. The pleasing sounds of tree frogs, birds and insects, which I had looked forward to, were often drowned out by the manmade sounds. I enjoyed the company of Louise's dogs (I would have brought Sam home with me if I could). Most mornings I was up early to drive to English Harbour to meet friends for diving or hiking, about a 25 minute drive. I may stay here again, but will remember to bring some ear plugs.

Om värden
Louise Sandiford är värd
I am from England originally, but have been living in the Caribbean for 30+ years. I run a Production Service Company which assists film makers and photograhers who come into the Caribbean Region. I live at Tranquil Farm with dogs, ducks and chickens! I love to garden, I love to read. I enjoy the quiet and peace of my surroundings.
Varför värden valde detta boende
There are not many places that are this peaceful - if one car passes down the road during the day, its unusual. The sound of the birds and the leaves in the trees are the most prominent sounds - along the odd squeaks of the bamboo groaning in the wind and sounding like an old sailing ship! Actually I should add a bit about the local wildlife noises - the odd donkey and at night the crickets and tree frogs take over.
Vad som gör detta boende unikt
Tranquil Farm has always had this name, the farmhouse is about 100 years old now - and the name still fits it perfectly. The farm house and cottage sit on a small hill inside a bigger valley. The view down the valley is over the top of mango trees and across the valley at the surrounding hills covered in lemon grass.
I first saw the house when looking for a location for filming, it was love at first sight - a small wooden farm house hidden in a circle of trees.It was unique then, and even more so now. I have lived here now for 22 years, and I still love it. It is very rare now to find a place that is so quiet and where nature seems to seep through the doors, or rather fly through the window!
