Cobblers Cove

When you read reviews you sometimes wonder if people have visited the same hotel. Reviews can be fantastic and the next one highly critical. We stayed for 10 nights having previously stayed down the coast last year. Cobblers Cove is an exceptional experience. I will walk you through the stay. Check in. Arrived early evening, greeted with a rum punch. Very friendly reception staff who walked us through the property. We were then taken to our room and found cases already in there. We had an upper circle suite. Small kitchen area with kettle, fridge and tea/coffee. Separate area with sofa leading outside to garden with sun lounges. Bedroom, large bed leading to a dressing area and bathroom. Plenty of storage space. Shower powerful and always hot water. No bath but not a problem for us. Dining area very clean and open with sea breaking. Breakfast cooked to order and good choices. Cold selection is sufficient although not extensive. Pool area always tidy and well attended by staff. Plenty of sun lounges. Here’s the thing… controversial. Given the majority of guests are English and the age tends to be middle to older there was still a tendency for guests to get down and reserve beds. Guess who would be the first to complain.. the English. The staff tried hard to stop this and indeed left notes on the beds stating that after an hour of no show towels would be removed. Good! Barbecue night was really good. Cocktails very good. A nice touch was the afternoon tea served at 4pm. Set you up nicely until you had your evening meal. Staff always attentive. Reception staff always willing to help with restaurant reservations and excursions. The grounds are very well maintained and we managed to see the monkeys. There is no beach behind the hotel so no beds on beach. There is beach either side and you can walk a bit either way. We would highly recommended this hotel.

Hotel itself gorgeous . Clean (ish) very pretty grounds , pool area nice , no beach to sit on only walk Staff were rude, seemed bored and uninterested, also unhelpful like they were doing us a huge favour , food a lot to be desired . Stayed 3 nights couldn’t wait to move to our next location . Won’t be returning . Hugely disappointing

Returning for a special reunion dinner after a five year absence, Cobblers did not disappoint. Decor was all refreshed and lovely. Sadly, we were not staying there as we just had one overnight on the island before a sailing trip. Service was welcoming and efficient. The food was superb. Altogether a wonderful and memorable evening.

A Winner! Cobbler Cove is a beautiful well maintained boutique hotel property. Excellent facilities. The rooms are spacious and very clean.

Went with my family for Christmas lunch. It was very pretty and scenic but the service was chaotic and the staff didn’t seem to have a clear system for serving tables. There was confusion about our order and the waitress didn’t hide her frustration (though I believe it was her fault!). The food was nice but the wait staff made a couple of mistakes/ didn’t listen to small requests. The salad bar lacked covers so flies kept landing on the salad dishes. One of us ordered banana split which came without banana! When we told a waiter about it he just apologised instead of suggesting a replacement dessert. Compared to other n ie restaurants on the island this one was lacking in customer service for sure!

Cobblers Cove is one of the few family-owned hotels left on the island, and the low-key family vibe is something that we absolutely love. All of the things we want are included - but the flexible dining options give us plenty of opportunity to get out and about on the island. Joanna has created such an amazing team - including the wonderful Gregory (who ensures we want for nothing around the pool), Pearson and Virgil (Bar tenders extraordinaire), Bradley and the team (watersports) and the wonderful restaurant staff including Hazel and Ricardo - and everyone I have left out, you are all wonderful. We would highly recommend this hotel, and have already re-booked :)
