"We had a fantastic holiday. We loved your villa and felt quite at home there. Porters Court is a calm convenient and relaxing spot and Keri Ann (housekeeper) looked after us very well. I will of course keep your details as I expect we will be back!!" CL January 2012
"We had a wonderful week in Barbados and staying at Porters Court was a big part of that. Everything with the villas went smoothly. Keri Ann (housekeeper) was both helpful and welcoming. Our groceries were in your villa as ordered - and both villas were clean and well provisioned. I don't recall anything we needed that wasn't there. We had a wonderful time - the location of Porters Court was great. Close to the beach, close to Holetown and right on the busline. We really liked the layout at Porters Court, it's compact but feels very private at the same time. As I said when we were booking, this is really the first time I've gone out on a limb and booked from the internet on my own. I'd have to say it was a great success! Hope we'll be in touch again, and I certainly would recommend Portes Court to anyone travelling to Barbados.
(Guests booked two villas at Porters Court - my Villa 7 and Villa 3)" BW December 2011/January 2012
"Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had such a FABULOUS two weeks. Keri Ann (housekeeper) and Kevin (Managing Agent) looked after us beautifully - they couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. We were so comfortable and the house is equipped with everything one needs for a restful holiday. The location was just perfect for us and was so relaxing with the children. I think you may well hear from us again in the future!" AH November 2011
"We are thoroughly enjoying our time here at Porters Court - it's beautiful. We will be recommending Barbados to everyone and, of course, Porters Court. Anyway once again thank you for helping us have an amazing honeymoon." PD September/October 2011
"I just wanted to let you know that we all had a wonderful holiday at Porters Court. The villa worked really well for us - plenty of space for four. The location was ideal... and as I'm sure other guests say, we wanted to stay for longer. Keri Ann (housekeeper) was so welcoming when we arrived, and made sure throughout our stay that we had everything we needed .... she is a real treasure. So thank you for letting us stay in your villa." AN September 2011
"Just to say a big thanks - we enjoyed our time in Barbados and found the villa to be very comfortable, accessible and just right for our needs. We took your advice and used the buses which was very eventful, especially the yellow ones!! The beaches were wonderful and we spent most of our time there, although the girls enjoyed the pool as well." NRD July 2011
"Just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful vacation in your awesome villa! We had fantastic weather and we used the BBQ a lot this time and cooked the local fish we bought every day at the Weston Market - so good! The pool was so warm and very clean and we were in it every day. We ate out at The Fish Pot and Tides and loved both very much - and we did the turtle swim at Port St Charles. Keri-Ann (housekeeper) was wonderful as always and had everything perfect for our arrival - she is a real germ!! We hope to do the same 10 days in May next year." DD May 2011
"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for letting us use your lovely villa, which suited us perfectly. We really enjoyed our short break in Barbados - lots of sun and fantastic restaurants and beaches in the area. As well as Zaccios and Lone Star (both excellent) we went to Il Tempio which was also fantastic. Unfortunately we couldn't get a booking at Tides - we will have to save that for next time!" SM April 2011
"The villa is in a lovely spot... hope we can return sometime!" EG April 2011
"We had such a lovely break at the villa which was just as comfortable as the last time. Thanks again." C&J T March 2011
"We had a fabulous time - thanks for letting us stay. Never fear, your place is on our list for repeat visits!" DC February 2011
"We had a lovely time in Barbados and the villa, the standard of decoration and Keri Anne were all as you had described. We got out and about as usual, visiting beaches all over, and walking on Cattlewash Beach (East coast) for about 2 hours one morning with the Atlantic crashing on the shore - like Scotland with palm trees and sun - wonderful. We even entertained our friends to dinner on the verandah one evening which was novel and fun. We are definitely interested in booking your villa again - when I work out possible dates I will get back in touch with you again." HS February 2011
"We had a wonderful time in Barbados and at No. 7 Porters Court. Keri Ann was waiting for us when we arived and gave us a tour of the property. She was most helpful and so friendly and sweet. My wife enjoyed talking with Dennys about the plants in the beautiful gardens. The villa was nice and very well maintained. It had just about everything you would have at home - tv, internet, air conditioning, an ironing board, free local telephone calls, washer and dryer and a well equipped kitchen. There were plenty of towels and beach towels, and books to read. There was also a nice selection of brochures, maps and information about Barbados. The property was so well supplied that it is hard to think of anything lacking. We would be confident in recommending Porters Court to our family and friends." M & AH January 2011
"We had a lovely relaxing holiday at Porters Court and found it very convenient for catching the local buses up and down the coast! We enjoyed ourselves very much so don't be surprised if you hear from me again in a year's time." FH January 2011
"We had a lovely week at Porters Court. The villa was fabulous, the location was perfect and I would certainly not hesitate to return there again." NT December 2010
"We just got back from sunny Barbados last night and had a relaxing 10 days again staying at your delightful villa. The plans went very smoothly and I really appreciate you calling me when we arrived and later to check we were settled in.
Keri Ann very kindly had the villa ready for us and we got moved in right away. It feels like our "second home" and I gather a lot of other visitors tell you that too but it is so true.
You have the place so very well appointed and so very comfortable. We sleep so well as the bed is really comfortable.
The pool was great as it was so hot and we usually swam there every afternoon after our day on the beach.
We love Holetown and all it has to offer. The restaurants are very good and we like to try a new one each time, but we also do a lot of our own cooking as we get fresh fish from the Weston Fish market.
We would really like to book the villa again for a third visit - 10 days next year - as we like to plan most of our vacations well ahead. Again thanks so much for having us back this past week." DD September 2010
"To quote our 14 year old son - the accommodation and facilities exceeded our expectations!!! We all felt very comfortable at Porters Court. Keri Ann is great. We enjoyed talking to her and to Dennys who does a wonderful job with the gardens. The pool was greatly enjoyed by us all especially the children. Mary the owner telephoned and this was a surprise and a very nice touch.
We visited Ju Ju's beach bar twice and enjoyed the food while watching the sunset. Went to Mullins beach on Shabha's boat and swam with the turtles - amazing!!!!" JN August 2010
"We had a beautiful time in Barbados. The accommodation was everything we expected and Keri Ann (the housekeeper) was a little gem." NG June 2010
"We had a fantastic holiday in Porters Court. The villa is beautiful and every bit as good as we expected. The villa is very private and yet very close to the beach. We enjoyed the a/c as it was very hot. Keri Ann (the housekeeper) was very friendly and helpful and kept the place very clean and tidy for us during our stay. The welcome package was fantastic as we did not have to go shopping for the first few days. Dennys(the gardener) keeps the gardens really lovely and was very pleasant to talk to. The trip was fantastic and we are planning to go back again." DD May 2010
"We are back home now after a fantastic 10 days in Barbados. We have had such a lovely time. It was so nice to have all our family there to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was the first time in Barbados for our son so it was lovely to show him around and to visit all the restaurants etc. that we love so much. Your villa is so well appointed and just had everything that we needed and was so clean and comfortable. Keri Ann was lovely and very helpful. Our 2 little granddaughters just loved the pool and even managed to get me in!!!" C&J T April 2010
"We had a fantastic holiday! The villa is perfect. When we go back to Barbados we definitely want to stay at your villa again." CK April 2010
"Our stay at 7 Porters Court was just fantastic! The house is furnished with good taste. The kitchen is very well equipped and above all, the nature, and garden around the house is a little heaven! We didn't want to come home! We highly recommend Porters Court and hope to be able to come back as soon as possible." SP March 2010
"We had the most fantastic time in Barbados and loved staying at your beautiful place. It was absolutely perfect and we could not have asked for anything else. We never imagined that we could have such a relaxing holiday with an almost 2 year old and myself 5 months pregnant, it was a dream. My daughter loved having breakfast on the veranda spotting birds and lizards. She was in the pool within an hour of our arrival and loved swimming in the sea every morning. Keri Ann was really helpful and even babysat for us one night so we could enjoy a night out. We would love to come back when our second child is born and of a similar age to our daughter now. Perhaps we'll see if we can bring the grandparents next time and they could stay in one of the other villas. We will definitely recommend your villa to friends. Thanks again for a wonderful stay." MC March 2010
"Had a fantastic time. You have a lovely villa which was exactly how you described it to both me directly and on the website. Keri Ann and Barbara were both very helpful and the opportunity to have Pam, a local cook, come in was marvellous. We were out and about a lot but interestingly there was one morning when the boys insisted on staying in - one in the hammock with a book and one in the pool. Broadband was great as well - I could easily use my I Touch so no need to switch on my work laptop and get distracted by email. I suspect we may be visiting again." KC February 2010
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa 7 - it is very well appointed and extremely comfortable and Keri Ann does a great job of keeping the place spic and span. It is adequately stocked with everything needed to make an enjoyable hassle free stay. We also love the location, so close to the beach and also very convenient for shops etc. Also the local buses are a great feature, we took one back from Bridgetown one day and it was a fun experience and so incredibly reasonable. We definitely hope to be back in the future and would love to return to Villa 7. Also we would like to add that dealing with you in the booking process was such a great pleasure, you made it so easy and straightforward, it was such a pleasant experience so thank you very much for that." T & V D February 2010
"We both had a fantastic time. The birthday BBQ was a great success. Your villa is lovely and Keri Ann is just wonderful! The villa was spotless when we arrived and she looked after us beautifully throughout our stay. I will certainly be in touch, somehow I think I'll be back!" N & H R Jan 2010
"No. 7 was absolutely fabulous!" CH Dec 2009
"Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed sharing your lovely home (and that's how it felt). It's been a marvellous time for us and we hope to be back sooner than later. The Staff are all so wonderful and warm, it took no time to feel really relaxed." R & E M Nov 2009
"We had a great holiday - the villa was lovely - home from home. We would happily book again if we return to Barbados." JC April 2009
"Thank you so much for letting us share your piece of paradise - we had such a wonderful time and yes we are planning to go again. Everything was perfect and No. 7 is such a comfortable villa we all loved it. We hired a car and saw quite a lot of the island and used the local buses to go out in the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience." TD March 2009
"Just had to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at No. 7. Whilst the island of Barbados is very lovely, our holiday really was made by the level of comfort we experienced at your villa. SO much nicer than having a room in an hotel. We cooked or BBQ'd everyday and found absolutely everything we needed in the kitchen. Loved the decor - especially the 'palm' bedroom. We will long remember our wonderful evenings on the veranda watching the fireflies, listening to the frogs and sipping rum punch - perfect!" KF January 2009
"Many thanks again for the use of your villa for the past two weeks. Unsurprisingly we all had another fortnight of great fun. We really appreciated the chance to stay at No. 7 again." C & R H August 2008
"Villa 7 was better than expected - the facilities were all spot on. We had a fantastic time." JM May 2008
"The accommodation exceeded our expectations by miles." AA May 2008
"The accommodation was exactly as described and extremely well appointed. Thank You!" RF April 2008
"I wanted to thank you for everything yu did to make our first trip to Barbados as special as it was. We really enjoyed having your villa to call home for a week. It is well appointed, comfortable and exceptionally clean. The topper however was each morning to open the split door in the kitchen and have an adorable little bird sitting there waiting for his breakfast!!! The housekeeper and gardener could not have been nicer and more accommodating. The Managing Agent was also readily available should we have needed anything and even phoned us as we were leaving to wish us a safe trip home. A repeat trip next year is high on our wish list." PL April 2008
"The standard of the accommodation was excellent." JA February 2008
"We enjoyed our holiday very much and we were very happy with the accommodation and facilities. The housekeeper looked after the villa very well and the gardens were well maintained. We would love to return next year." RS January 2008
"No.7 was absolutely fabulous!!!" CH Dedember 2007
"Accomodation fab - no complaints. We had a wonderful holiday." JM July 2007
"Once again we had a terrifc holiday in Barbados with super weather, and this was made all the more enjoyable by the use of your lovely villa again. When we walked in Tom, our eldest son, did say "it feels just like going home" and I know exactly what he meant. SO thanks once again and I'm sure it won't be long until we are in touch again about a fourth visit to our second home in Barbados." C&R H May 2007
"We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to No. 7, and hope to make a third in the not too distant future. Funny how 24 hours after returning home, it feels like the holiday happened to somebody else!" J&L W May 2007
"... just to say thanks with all your help before our arrival at Porters Court. The villa was great and in a lovely setting, and your housekeeper was really helpful. We spent most of our time by the pool and beaches with a bit of touring around too. We've rented lots of cottages/villas and this is got to be one of the best." C& J B March 2007
"Just a quick line to tell you we had a wonderful time in Barbados and the villa was everything we had hoped for. Erna (the housekeeper) was very helpful on our arrival and indeed throughout our stay. My wife wrote a novel in your visitors book as did our friends who came to stay." BM February 2007
"Well, we are back in the UK after spending 3 wonderful weeks in Barbados, and in your lovely villa. It was everything we thought it would be and we felt very comfortable there. I shall always remember sitting outside at the table on the verandah eating our breakfast and feeding the birds. It was so peaceful and lovely. The barbeque was a huge success and we had quite a few nice evenings just sitting around talking and drinking the rum punch!!!! Thank you once again for allowing us to use your home." JR January 2007
"We would both like to thank you for letting us have the use of your super villa for the week. What a great location. You have done it in real style and fantastic to find it so well equipped - home from home, which is not always the case, so again many many thanks. We had a super week. We found all the amenities very easily - the information in the villa was excellent and the management company kept in touch. Erna (the housekeeper) was very helpful, even staying on well into the evening to welcome us as our flight was delayed 3 hours from Manchester. Also many thanks to the taxi company who waited around the airport from 4.00
pm to pick us up. I am sure this won't be our last visit to your beautiful villa. We still have more places to see. It is always good to leave something for the next time!!" A and D S December 2006
"We had the most fabulous holiday in your villa. It was wonderfully comfortable and had everything we could possibly want. We all agreed that it was our best holiday. This was my first trip to Barbados and I fell in love with it. So I just wanted to say thank you for letting us use your lovely villa. It certainly helped make it a perfect holiday." B T June 2006
"Everything met our expectations - we were very pleased with the accommodation, the facilities, the service and the inclusive extras (towels, linen, soap etc.) - excellent. We had a fantastic holiday and we will be in touch by email for next year!!" CT June 2006
"Once again we had a super time in Barbados. Everything was as lovely as last year, just wish we could have stayed a little longer. Many thanks for the welcome pack and taxis to and from the airport. Your maid was also super so thanks go to her. We would love to go back (for a third visit) next year" CH June 2006
"Your villa was just what we needed and as I'm sure you've been told many a time it was just like going from home to home. You must be very proud of it and it shows in the villa itself. The party will, without fail be taking you up on the offer of using again next year at some point." AD May 2006
"Your villa is simply superb. Erna (your maid) is a star and a great conversationalist. Thanks again for your organisational skills. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay so far and we'll relish our final week in your gorgeous villa!" L & J W April 2006
"I have been meaning to drop you a line to let you know we had a wonderful holiday in Barbados. The villa was just perfect and our son just loved the pool (we couldn't get him out of it!). Thanks again for helping make our stay so great. I'm sure we will be back again in the future." LS March 2006
"I am writing to let you know that we had a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday in your beautiful home, for which 1 thank you." PB December 2005
"Just a quick note to say that we had a fantastic holiday and have now returned safely home. Erna was fantastic, and really helped us out. Your villa was gorgeous as was the pool. Our daughter enjoyed it, but 1 have to say the beach won out. We even managed to get as far as Bottom Bay, Bathsheba and Harrison's cave, all of which went down very well." AM November 2005
"We wanted to let you know that we had an amazing holiday in Barbados. The island itself is absolutely beautiful and is inhabited by the most friendly and welcoming people imaginable.
Your villa is absolutely perfect in all respects and is ideally located to explore the best of Barbados. We all felt completely comfortable and relaxed as soon as we arrived.
Porters Court itself is a peaceful and colourful treasure and the swimming pool was a delight - and at a perfect temperature. The staff are very attentive and most helpful even giving us tips about the island.
We are so delighted with this villa that we have already booked a return trip next year and we are recommending it to all our family and friends as the perfect holiday venue." AP October 2005
"I wanted to write as well to say that our holiday was superb, the accommodation was fantastic and because it was so quiet we felt like the pool was our own private facility!! We loved it so much we may well return!!!!" CL September 2005
"From Porters Court we could easily explore all that Barbados had to offer knowing that we had a luxurious relaxing place to return to each day." OM June 2005
"The holiday was excellent... if not too short. Thanks for the use of your lovely home." MW June 2005
"I just wanted to write and thank you very much for the use of your lovely home over the past couple of weeks. We had a wonderful time and couldn't have wished for anywhere nicer to stay. I commented in your visitors' book that it was much more than a rental home - more a 'home from home' - and it made the holiday so much nicer because of it.
We hired a car from Stoutes for a few days last week and they were very efficient, as you had said. It gave us a chance to explore the Atlantic side of the island plus see some of the other tourist sights. We also enjoyed walking down to the Royal Pavilion in the evening and sampling some of their lovely cocktails! We had a very nice meal there one evening too and the food was excellent.
If we decide to return to Barbados in the future you can be sure I'll be in touch with you again. In the meantime, I am hopefully doing a good marketing job for you in letting friends, family and work colleagues know about a lovely place to stay should they decide on a holiday in Barbados!" LW June 2005
"We got back yesterday and I'm taking a break from ironing to let you know how very much we enjoyed Porters Court.
The air of peace and tranquillity of Porters Court was so special, and the colour all around with the foliage, flowers and birds was just delightful. We spent a great deal of time sitting on the veranda just enjoying the ambience.
The swimming pool was brilliant and a perfect temperature.
We really couldn't fault anything. Porters Court is an unexpected jewel and oasis ....
We visited quite a few attractions and enjoyed snorkelling a few times and pottered round (or should I say potholed round - the smaller roads are diabolical!!!!).
But really we were perfectly happy just to stay in Porters Court a lot of the time, lapping up the weather and the atmosphere. It was definitely the right decision........................." CL May 2005
"Just a short email to thank you for the use of your beautiful villa. We returned yesterday from a fantastic 10 days in sunny Barbados, and we all agree that it was a terrific holiday.
The weather was fab but the lovely villa contributed a huge part to the overall experience. Barbados was just as beautiful as we remember and the boys both thought it was a great place to go.
Christine at Island villas (the Managing Agents) was a great help, and your maid was extremely helpful.
Thank you as well for organising the taxis to and from the airport, and for the welcome pack which was waiting for us on arrival. In fact, I can't think of anything which didn't go smoothly as planned
I have already recommended your villa to a friend who is thinking of visiting the island, and I am sure that if / when we plan another trip we will be in contact again regarding the availability of number 7 Porters Court." CD April 2005
"We had a lovely holiday in Porters Court" MD February 2005
"I don't know how to express it but Barbados is a small heaven in the Caribbean Sea. We had such a good holiday that we are thinking of going back there again next year.
Your villa is beautiful inside and out and it is in the best location in Barbados and there is nothing I can say that needs adding or changing." AE March 2004
