This five-bedroom colonial-style Great House was once the home of the American Ambassador and has recently been modernised by esteemed architect, Oliver Messel. Set in the exclusive Leamington Estate in Speightstown, Leamington House is a stylish, tasteful and elegant home-from-home. It also has a private path that leads from the gardens down to the beach by Cobblers Cove hotel.

On entering the house, a spacious hallway leads through to a beautiful drawing room with a lounge and dining area. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up family favourites and a smaller seating area allows for separate dining if that better suits your family’s needs. There’s also a TV and games area with a billiard table. There are four ensuite bedrooms located on the first floor, with the fifth ensuite bedroom on the ground floor. The master is a king room, while the rest of the bedrooms can be made up as twin or king rooms. An additional occasional room on the ground floor has a sofa and bunk beds.

The outside space here is ultra-private, with a tropical walled garden, covered terrace and refreshing swimming pool. From here, you’ll find the gate that gives you access to the beach. The house comes fully staffed, so you’ll be incredibly well looked after. Speightstown’s shops are just a few minutes’ drive away, meaning that Leamington House gives you a tranquil setting, easy access to the beach and the convenience of nearby amenities – ideal for an extended stay in Barbados.
