The villa has views over the exclusive Royal Westmoreland Estate, which you can enjoy from the beautiful and modern patio equipped with a dining area. The patio is excellently lit up at night, providing a calming ambience that you can enjoy well into the evening. The patio is situated in front of the large outdoor pool that has palm trees and plants gently nested at its side. Guests will feel as if they are swimming in the midst of an enchanting forest, is there any better way to unwind?
When stepping inside the villa, you will discover the dining area is both elegant and exquisite. White smooth brick walls, grand arched windows and wooden furniture all make for the perfect fine dining experience. The room also sees an artistic lamp hanging from the ceiling to marvellously light up the area after the sun sets.
The dining room benefits from an open plan design with the living room which provides multiple doors to the garden. The room contains a cosy L shape sofa, coffee table and flat screen television. The bedrooms boast lush and comfy beds, atmospheric lamps and some even open out onto the garden.

Location
About the surrounding area of Muffins LodgeBarbados is an island that, besides its impeccable natural beauty has plenty to see and do. Just a 30-minute drive away lives the Pelican Village Craft Centre in Bridgetown. This is where you come if you want to discover the true artisans of Barbados. Located in Pelican Village, which makes for a pretty picture in itself, the centre has some of the best locally produced and handmade arts and crafts on the island. The village is full of quaint and traditional chattel houses that are occupied by various small businesses.
The small shopping centre houses items that will make perfect souvenirs and gifts. From hand-painted glass creations to ceramics, carvings and sculptures, the shops exude local talent that has largely gone unnoticed, and has become somewhat of a secret waiting for lucky shoppers to discover.
By embarking on another 30-minute drive, you will find The James Street Methodist Church. The church is part of many churches that represent various dominations in Bridgetown. Located on a quiet side street amongst the popular shopping areas, you can visit here to participate in religious services or if you’re not religious, simply savour a quiet meditation. The church boasts a classic design and Venetian portico, which were additions that were part of the re-building process added after the church was burnt down in 1823.

About the Island & Getting There
About Barbados
At first glance you could be mistaken for thinking that Barbados is purely a beach holiday destination, but you're urged to reconsider this common belief. The island of Barbados is peppered with astonishing landscapes (both coastal and inland), enchanting locals, sublime cuisine, intriguing rums, fascinating wildlife, symbolic architecture and a selection of striking holiday villas.
Delve deep into the history of the island and start your holiday by visiting Sunbury Plantation House & Museum. This former plantation was built in 1660's and the premises are scattered with antiquities that delicately detail a recent history of Barbados. St. Nicholas Abbey also provides an insightful representation of Sugarcane production, Bajan artefacts and a wonderful observation point at Cherry Tree Hill. If you’re keen to visit one of the oldest Parliamentary buildings within the Commonwealth and appreciate the democratic legacy of Barbados, drop by The Parliament Buildings. This neo-gothic congress can be found in Bridgetown and act as a representation of Barbados’s Independence. There is so much history present throughout the island and as a result, Bridgetown and its Garrison has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, which the locals are very proud of.
Great efforts have been made to persevere the natural beauty of Barbados, so if you’re drawn to the exploration of National Parks and multicoloured gardens, it won’t take you long to realise that Barbados is a haven for such paradises! Within the Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Farley Hill National Park, Flower Forest, Hunte's Gardens and Welchman Hall Gully - visitors, and Botanist alike, will be lost for hours admiring these astonishing botanical parklands. Keep an eye out for the Dwarf Poinciana, or Peacock Flower…it’s the national flower of Barbados.
Bajan’s take their food very seriously! If you and your fellow travellers are enticed by the gastronomic aspect of holidaying, we believe you’ve selected the right island. With every aspect of cookery mastered; from pickling to freshly prepared dishes, sweet & savoury, fragrant & spicy and of course, the bountiful choice of seafood. Check out the food stalls in Paynes Bay Church – where vendors exhibit locally made dishes & street food that will scintillate the taste buds. At the end of every working week, locals and tourists both flock to Oistins, for 'Fish Fry Day'. This is a must for those who haven’t undergone the experience! The evening starts with barbecues and then ascends into a joyful party. This caps off a busy few days of work for locals as well as the 'strains' associated with serious holidaying.
Barbados is of course iconic for its Beaches & Rum…so why not bring them together? You will have to go out of your way not to be able to find a beach bar along the west coast of the island, as well as the countless Rum Shops. Yes, you’ve read correctly, Rum Shops! These small and locally run businesses embrace the Bajan spice of life, in liquid form. Very delicious! If you’re searching for something a little more special, take a trip to the east coast and visit Sand Dunes Bar and Restaurant at Windy Hill, for an unforgettable experience.
Barbados is a distinct and striking part of the Caribbean. It’s a great fit for all types of travellers, as the island really does have it all. For a little more information about this delightful island, check out our guide to a remarkable stay!
