The Gatehouse at Pavilion Grove

The Gatehouse is a two-bedroom detached villa in Pavilion Grove, a gated community of just five other villas on the West Coast of Barbados, with electric gates and assigned parking.

Steps lead up to a wide covered terrace with relaxed seating and ceiling fans. Inside are an open-plan living and dining area and a well-equipped kitchen. Both large bedrooms are en-suite and air-conditioned, with ceiling fans and plenty of wardrobe space. Housekeeping, fast wifi, cable TV and beach towels are included.

Sliding doors open onto a private sun deck with a plunge pool, sun loungers and border gardens.

A short walk leads to the beach shared by the Lone Star Restaurant, Ju Jus Beach Bar and the Fairmont Royal Pavilion Hotel. Holetown, with its shops, restaurants and bars, is a few minutes' drive away.
