We stayed at Eric and Annie's second property, Greenhaven Cottage (http://www.greenhaven.ms) The cottage is simple and clean and a perfect home base for exploring Montserrat. We loved being up in the leafy green hills of the Woodlands, surrounded by birdsong and frog calls. Eric and Annie are charming hosts and will happily help you out with anything you might need...

I stayed at the Essence Guesthouse in Montserrat for 5 days. The place is brand new and beautiful. Note that this is Eric and Annies second home, which is located in Woodlands. Their other location is in Old Towne. I rented the Cottage - which is brand new and has a kitchen and cable TV. The surrounding gardens are pristine... More

This was our 1st long haul trip with our 3 year old son and we spent the first part of our holiday in Antigua and then took the ferry over to Montserrat... More

When we booked our 6 day vacation at The Essence in February 2011, we didn't know what to expect. Usually, we would spend our vacation in a luxury all-inclusive resort in one of the Carribean islands. The Essence is so much better! We got full service from Annie and Eric on booking advice, flights, things to do etc. When we... More

When we arrived, Annie and Eric sat down with us and explained the best places to go and explore on our short visit. The apartment was beautfiul and... More

The Essence Guesthouse was definitely one of the best places we stayed during our 4-weeks visit to 4 carribean islands. The hosts are very friendly and helpful people who showed us some great places in Montserrat (view of Plymouth!). The suite was absolutely flawless and the house is very beautiful. Very good value! We, two Dutch girls, would definetely reccomend... More

We loved Essence! I can't even think of enough words to describe how wonderfully fabulous, friendly, welcoming, and just flat out awesome the proprietors (Annie and Eric) of Essence are. We stayed in the apt. which was very well appointed, the pool was beautiful, the garden gorgeous. They gave us mangoes and bananas from the yard, organic even. When we... More

Great place! I could sit on the deck or by the pool and see the volcano to my left and the ocean to my right. I think I had a better view of the volcano at Essence than I got at the Volcano Observatory. You could also walk right down to the beach in Belham Valley/Olde Towne in just a... More

The view from the guesthouse was great, with the volcano on one side and the ocean on the other. Eric and Anne were wonderful hosts. They prepared us... More
