One bedroom en suite with lovely views from spacious verandah
Birds & Bees Cottage, as the name implies is a romantic stone cottage with shingle roof trimmed with white gingerbread. It has a king sized 4 poster bed draped in netting, antique furniture, a huge 30' x 8' verandah with a hammock for those afternoon naps. Lovely views across the tropical garden filled with an assortment of flowers and trees with many birds flitting through. There is a palm fringed pool shared with Sapodilla cottage also in the 2 acre garden. Both cottages are very private and peaceful and well separated from each other.

My husband and I just returned from a fabulous 7 night stay at the Birds and Bees Cottage. I know that I am only repeating what previous reviewers have stated, but the cottage is absolutely charming, very comfortably and beautifully furnished and although very close to all amenities, very private with wonderful views overlooking Falmouth Harbour in the distance. Yes, the road in is definitely on the extremely bumpy (!) side, but we actually quickly got used to it and our little Toyota was up to the task! It was so nice to have Janie and Geoffrey on site and Janie provided much information on sites to see, good restaurants, etc. In addition, the many little touches not often seen in VRBO rentals were greatly appreciated - a wonderful welcome basket of breakfast items that saw us through the week, loads of condiments available and an extremely well stocked kitchen that had us wanting for nothing, although in truth we only made breakfast there.
Although we had worried about everything being open and having no air conditioning, we found ourselves loving the set-up. The temperatures inside the cottage were so comfortable, and I can't recall when I last slept so well. Waking each morning to the beautiful views through the open windows, and hearing the birds was delightful, and I am definitely missing that now back at home! We loved the birds and lizards always present at the feeder - and the night sounds while enjoying coffee and music on the deck. Although there is another small cottage on the property, the two are well separated, and private. And the dogs are delightful - very friendly and polite, but not intrusive. I loved seeing one or more of them just wander through the cottage and come by for a pat and a little nap on our deck. This part of Antigua is beautiful, and we would definitely recommend a stay at the Birds and Bees Cottage.
