The pool house is amazing. From the moment we arrived Anthea and Nick were just wonderful. Telling us places to go, making suggestions about beaches and just being wonderful company, the pool house feels so private but it was lovely to know that people were next door if we had any queries. The pool house is in such a lovely area, walkable to the stunning foul beach and crane beach . Everything was just wonderful I would rather it higher if I could.

The Pool House is romantic. It's tucked away behind Le Petit Chateau in its own private garden with its own access via a private gated road. There is a pleasant breeze flowing off the Atlantic Ocean which keeps the property cool. The waves can be heard from the bedroom which makes for peaceful sleeping. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to be. Nick and I are next door so guests can feel safe. Please note that the minimum stay at this property is three nights.
I am British by birth and live between the UK and Barbados. My father is from Barbados, hence my connection with Barbados. I am married to Lord Nicholas Shrager. We both love gardening with me preferring organic gardening. If guests are lucky, they may be in time to enjoy some of the fruits of my labour. The property is framed by fruit trees and flowers growing side by side. We love to host dinner parties and generally invite our guests to join us if they care to. Some guests rather to be left alone, and we do respect our guests' privacy. I am desperately trying to recover my younger physique so I take a daily swim in the pool, A loosing game I think. My husband swims daily as well. Apart from gardening, swimming and entertaining, we also are into painting, reading, anything to do with business and have recently joined a photography club. Hope to meet you soon and get to know you.
Atlantic View which borders Foul Bay is quiet neighbourhood. It is a mature community with second and third generations of family living in harmony. As this area is not in the tourist belt, the vegetation is natural. If you are looking for the party action, this is not the place for you. Peace and quiet, tranquility, being at one with nature is what we offer. We are the next beach to The Crane Beach. The Crane Beach claims to hold the award of being one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. We would like to differ, as we believe that Foul Beach beach, which we consider our back garden, to be the better of the two. Why don't you come and judge for yourself.
