I revisited Cobblers Cove with my family this October, and once again, the hotel's exquisite comfort and atmosphere left a lasting impression. The room decor, uniquely personal and devoid of a corporate hotel feel, positions it as the Grande Dame of the Independent Boutique Hotels. The charming touch of pretty pink parasols and abundant sun loungers, with the deepest mattresses one could dream of, adds to its allure. Culinary delights awaited us, with renewed menus incorporating delicious tropical flavours, a host of local organic ingredients, and much of it homemade at Cobblers - including breads, pastries, ice creams and the most fabulous chocolate truffles . Breakfast was a standout: I challenge anyone not to find what they would want! The array of options, including avocado toast, eggs benedict, crepes and pancakes, homemade granola, banana, date and nut smoothies, coconut milk yogurts and a selection of fresh local tropical fruits, made it a delightful start to the day. The impeccable service extended from housekeeping, waiters to the barmen and pool staff, who delighted us with skewers of fresh fruit and refreshing towels. The receptionists found us a lovely well-qualified gym trainer as well as a proficient tennis coach. We spent lovely moments at the bar with various bands and singers playing, all adding to the Barbadian spirit. We took advantage of the free daily water-skiing that Cobblers offers, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the the excellent teacher, Bradley: our son, in particular, not only had a fantastic time, he mastered mono-skiing after just two attempts. This has not happened elsewhere! As night fell, we were enchanted by the chorus of the Barbadian Whistling Frogs.... a wonderful holiday! …
