MostRelaxingNatureRetreat/Super Quiet Space in Natural Tropical Forest
You have chosen the hushed, peaceful surroundings at this cozy hub of ScottGullyEcoLodge. Situated in the lush Scotland District of Barbados, a miniature rain forest, and close to many tourist attractions. The lodge is part of a one acre family owned property with two other private homes on the property. The cottage itself is tastefully decorated with a mixture of vintage and modern furniture along with locally made baskets and wall hangings from cane lilly, a local grass grown on the property. These pieces accentuate the rustic passion of the owner and her love for these traditional family made handicrafts. Each guest gets to take away something made of cane lilly to remind them of ScottGullyEcoLodge and our beautiful island Barbados. The bedroom is cozy and outfitted with touch lamps, . The orange and pearl colours blend nicely and, according to guests, seem to induce sleep. The bathroom tiling was designed to give a cave-like feel. The dining table seats four and the couch can serve for a bed or to relax and watch T.V or read a book. The kitchen is outfitted with all you need to cook your own healthy meals using the herbs from the garden like rosemary, tarragon, oregano, chives, bay leaves etc to enhance the taste of your food. The outside dining area is perfect for early breakfast and for watching the monkeys at play and the hummingbirds pollinating the flowers. The hammock lower in the garden is perfect for listening to the cooing of doves or the silly laughter of the monkeys nearby. Bird and butterfly watching adds to the relaxation and beauty of this location. This apartment and location is loved by all who visits for its quietude and relaxation. The green savannah grass in the gardens begs to be walked on barefoot as you take your morning strolls. The apartment and its location offers to guest the amazing side of Barbados with spectacular views and a real rain forest feel to this unique side of the island . ScottGullyEcoLodge is situated in the picturesque Scotland District of Barbados with awesome scenery and much greenery which lends to fresh air and a healthy lifestyle. The apartment is in proximity to Harrison's Cave, Flower Forest, Welchman Hall Gully, Huntes Gardens, and Bathsheba, just ten minutes away. The best West coast beaches like Mullins, Port Ferdinand and Sandy Lane are just half an hour away, so while you bask in the luxuries of nature in the Scotland District, other major attractions are just minutes away. This location is away from the hustle and bustle of the island so is really designed for those who want quiet and relaxation away from the maddening crowd and explore the real natural beauty of Barbados.

Quiet forest retreat
If you are seeking a quiet forest retreat to lay your head at night, this is your place in Barbados. Awakening to the sounds of birds vs honking cars was much appreciated. A car is essential with this property,. Centrally located.

Getaway
Overall a great stay. Very quit and secluded, beautiful lush scenery. Very friendly host with good communication. We had one issue that hot water wasn’t on, and was very quickly addressed within 15 minutes. My only minor complaint was the king bed was 2 twin beds put together but they didn’t stay together well. Thank you so much for a great stay!
This apartment was perfect! I have to say the best little apartment for a vacation that I have ever stayed. I have worked for a major airline for 33 years and this takes the cake. From the host, Mrs. Ingrid you will receive nothing but care, kindness and attention to detail; everything is thoughtfully placed. The apartment has everything you need and is in perfect condition. It's all 5 stars because of its comfort and workability. The location is so peaceful that you don't want to leave. Yes, you will see monkeys 25 feet away from your window every morning; so neat and nothing to be afraid of. Yes, awesome hiking trails just a few hundred feet from your door. I can't say enough about this place. I just want to go back soon. Thank you for such an amazing experience. See you next year. If there were a host of the year award from VRBO, Mrs. Ingrid should receive it. Her kindness is next level! I will always stay at this apartment if she will have us.

The real Barbados in the countryside
A good place to stay if you want the quiet life away from the tourist areas. You will need a hire car but the shops are only 15-20 mins away. From the moment we arrived Engrid made us feel very welcome. She prepared a nice meal for us and asked many times if we wanted anything from the shops.
I look forward to returning to this property in the near future.

Away from the hustle and bustle
We arrived an hour and a half late due to plane delay in Miami. Edith’s sister was patiently waiting for us to arrive with the rental car we had set up through Edith. Once we got on the road it was a trek out to the place. If you like all the crazy tourist stuff then this place is not for you! You definitely need a rental car to get around. And make sure you don’t need to make a quick run to the grocery...it’s at least a 30 minute round trip run. It’s very secluded. We loved it. With Edith’s sisters help we made it to the eco lodge. Edith has prepared us dinner and had enough food to sustain us until we left! She was very gracious, most helpful and willing to help us out at any moment. It was cozy and home for the 4 nights we were there. I promise you that if you’re up for and adventure you’ll love this place. Monkeys, frogs, and birds were everywhere. If you couldn’t see them you could hear them. The bed was pretty comfortable and the space was inviting and suited the two of us extremely well. This is a no fuss kind of place, be prepared to be self sufficient. I’d recommend Edith’s place to anyone willing to be adventurous! It’s worth it!

A gem in the jungle with a great hostess
As a VRBO home renter myself, I know what goes into hosting. Engrid makes an incredible effort to make sure you’re at home. She had a few groceries there without us even asking. The unit was clean, comfortable, and so quiet. We loved being in nature. It’s a bit of a drive but totally worth it . Fantastic for the price as well.
