About this property

Stunning & spacious 3 bed villa, Own pool, housekeeper, 3 Min walk to beach.

  • Ideally situated on the luxurious West Coast of Barbados, Ridgecot House is a short stroll from the white sand beach of Alleyne's Bay. Beach Club membership at Fairmont Royal Pavilion is included, located just across the road.

    The three bedrooms each have air-conditioning and ceiling fans, together with en-suite bathrooms. The Master bedroom has a king sized four poster bed, the second a fabulous hand-carved king sized bed, whilst the third has two single beds.

    The spectacular living room has a double-height vaulted ceiling and polished oak floors. Bifolding doors open up to a spacious terrace, ideal for al fresco dining around its large marble table. Steps from the terrace lead to the private 24ft pool and tropical gardens.

    The private driveway at the front of the house is accessed from the road via electric gates and provides ample parking for several cars.

    Full membership of the Fairmont Royal Pavilion Beach Club (situated a short 2 minute walk away) is complementary to all Ridgecot guests. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available here free of charge and a range of watersports can be arranged by the ever-helpful Beach Club staff. Fairmont membership benefits also include 10% discount at the hotel restaurants and bars.

    Our housekeeper, Juliet, attends the property 3 days a week, with the garden and pool looked after by Kevin on his 2 days a week.

    A complimentary grocery pack is provided to guests on arrival.

    The Barbados Revenue Authority charges a 10% Levy on vacation rentals. This is included in the prices quoted to you.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful villa. It was spotlessly clean and very well furnished. The pool was a definite bonus! The villa is located right next to bus stops with a quick and very cheap bus ride into Holetown and along the coast. We also had the use of the beach club at the hotel opposite the villa, which was really appreciated, as it located on a lovely beachThe owner was brilliant to deal with. Answered any queries immediately and was very accommodating in letting us check out late on our last day. I highly recommend this villa, and if we ever go back to Barbados, I will definitely be looking to book it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Porters. The close proximity to the beach was a draw, but with the intermittent showers that were experienced the property pool was an excellent alternative. It provided all that we needed to manage the rain drops.

Our family of 6 spent Xmas and New Year’s at Ridgecot House and had a fantastic stay. The hosts were kind enough to help us get groceries delivered before the shops shut for the holidays. The Villa is roomy and elegantly decorated, the landscaping is lovely with a great covered outdoor terrace where we had most of our meals. The pool area gets lots of sun and is very relaxing.

A perfect place to stay!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. The property owner provided a fantastic contact to arrange airport pick up and drop off and everything went smoothly. The property manager was always accessible if we had any questions. The house is spacious and perfectly located across the street from a wonderful resort and the beach. Guest access to the resort and amenities were provided with the property rental (thank you!) and we enjoyed relaxing at the resort almost every day. The house was very well maintained and cleaning service provided by the housekeeper much appreciated. There are several great places to eat within walking distance and transportation when a taxi was needed was a breeze. My friends and I stayed for a week and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy all Barbados has to offer. This property is definitely a place I would like to stay during my next visit!

Lovely property in a great location

First impressions were excellent and continued throughout our stay. House and gardens were immaculately presented and everything had been thought of to make our stay as comfortable and convenient as possible. Difficult to find anything negative, I guess the pool is fairly small if you intend to use it for exercise (we didn’t), otherwise the garden/pool space is beautiful and we spent many hours in the outside covered area. Nikki the housekeeper was excellent and she kept the place spotless. We had a few problems with air conditioning in the last 48 hours which was just unfortunate and can’t blame anyone. Certainly wouldn’t put us off returning. If you want a great house in the perfect location for the West coast then don’t hesitate to book this, you won’t be disappointed.

Everything about the stay was outstanding. Juliette was waiting to greet us even as we were delayed from the airport, showed us the property features, and did a great job all week keeping the house looking great. The welcome basket was a very nice touch as it allowed us to not stress about food or provisions for a day after arrival. Kevin keeps the grounds looking immaculate. Shanette checked in on us midweek to make sure all was going well and gave us some good local tips. The privacy of the pool was a nice environment for the times we didn’t want to go to the beach. And the beach and facilities access through the Fairmont resort made it extremely easy for enjoying a great beach and good restaurants (especially sunsets). We couldn’t have asked for a better house to stay in while enjoying Barbados…the location was great for heading to Holetown and its shops and restaurants. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Villa

Ridgecote house is a wonderful villa in a very good location, it's close to Holetown where there are many places to eat and it's only a short walk to the beach. The villa itself is in very good condition, Esther the housekeeper keeps it spotless, she is just a star she made us all feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend this villa to family & friends. If you are looking for somewhere to have a good evening meal then I can highly recommend - Tides, The Beach House & Cin Cin's.

This trip was everything that we expected and hoped for. The villa was stunning, Esther is lovely and was very helpful throughout our stay, We visited Lone Star which was a lovely dining experience. The people we met at the Beach Club were lovely and very welcoming. We recommend you try Ted''s Tours, a relaxed and informative tour of the island with plenty of rum punch en route. We can't wait to get back again. Thank you

Ridgecot House June 2023

A superb property well cared for and in excellent internal condition, set in well cared for grounds. Stunning location just a short walk from the beach, Lone Star and, although some distance, manageable to Holetown as well. Housekeeper is brilliant and keeps the house spotless but does so with a smile. Pool at rear is perfect for the house size and is quiet which we loved, untroubled by racing children or noisy neighbours.

Had an excellent stay at Ridgecot House, Communication from the owners was excellent, the property is ideally situated had everything we needed for a fantastic holiday. Enjoyable walk along the beach in to Holetown. With all its fabulous restaurants. 7 minutes stroll to the Lone Star restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff were very friendly and made sure the house was in top top condition throughout our stay. Lazy days were spent by the pool or enjoying a cooling breeze whilst sat on the covered terrace enjoying morning coffee and of course evening cocktails. Will definitely return

A lovely well kept property. Walking distance to the beach club where you can use the sun beds at the Fairmont. Ideally need a car to make the most of your stay on the island. Holetown is a 20-25 minute walk and part of the walk there are no footpaths. Kevin the gardener and Nikki the housekeeper are both lovely and friendly and go about their work in happy friendly way. I would certainly recommend Ridgecot House.

Barbados escape

My wife, 2 year old and mother-in-law stayed at Ridgecot House recently and had a wonderful stay. The home is large, modern and very conducive to relaxation. The pool and grounds were great. The home is well managed and maintained and we felt well taken care of and pampered by regular housekeeping and concierge type assistance. It’s very close to the beach with use of the facilities at the Fairmont across the street and very close to Holetown where we did our grocery shopping. The only issue that arose was some confusion as to where beach club members are allowed to occupy chairs/umbrellas and swim vs the hotel guests.

What a beautiful villa!

We have just returned from a truly amazing holiday at Ridgecot House. We (2 adults and 4 older teens) were in quarantine for the first week, but it wasn't a hardship at all as the villa has so much space and a gorgeous little pool, and Yonette kindly arranged for our shopping to be delivered. The kitchen has everything you need, and al fresco dining with the birds and the tree frogs was very special. The villa itself has 3 beautiful en-suite bedrooms and a huge vaulted living room - a real wow factor. The location is great and the use of the Royal Pavilion Beach Club was a super bonus. We hired a car, but also used the reggae buses which passed by and were great fun. Esther, the housekeeper, looked after us wonderfully. Thank you so much, we would LOVE to return one day.
