If its available book it fast !
What a find! We found Farther Away accidentally. It had been omitted from my earlier searches due to my search criteria including the requirement for A/C. We read the reviews and contacted Caroline who put our mind at rest re the necessity of having this. We used the fans and these were adequate for us.Farther Away is wonderful. Secluded yet within easy reach of local beaches and restaurants but a car is a necessity.The pool was initially a bit on the chilly side, but this improved by the end of our stay. We wondered if it had been topped up prior to our visit. The large deck was fabulous. exceptional at about 600 sqft, and provided a large shady area where you can sit and enjoy Caroline's delicious home made rum punch. We were even wishing for rain in order that we could sit on the deck and watch it fall. The view over Skeetes Bay and beyond, is stunning and can be viewed through the double doors leading out from the lounge and bedrooms. The house is comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. There are lots of towels for both the beach/pool and for the bathrooms. The showers are excellent! The kitchen is well stocked and we had every utensil and appliance we could have wished for. Caroline responded quickly to all of my messages and it was wonderful to meet her in person - she is lovely!We will definitely return! We had an

Amazing views!!!!
Very nice property with the most amazing views of the eastern coast. Thr neighborhood was extremely quiet. Pool was exceptionally clean and had great sun. Huge deck with plenty of space for everyone. It’s called farther away and as a result a rental car is a must. Watch out for the pot holes! The host is amazing and checked in with us before and during our stay. We would recommend this place.

Family Get Away
This was our first trip to Barbados for our annual family trip and staying at Father Away made our trip so much better. The house is so welcoming, we could have stayed there and never explore the island. The house was the perfect place to return to at the end of the day. Falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore below was amazing!

A Great Escape
Farther Away was absolutely beautiful. The views of the Atlantic and surrounding coast were spectacular. The cottage is very cozy with 3 bedrooms. The master has a comfy king size bed. Being able to open the shutter doors and have that constant breeze and view from the entire house was so relaxing. The kitchen is totally functional with all the spices and cooking utensils you need. There were big beach towels and beach chairs and other items like bug spray , aloe , shampoo, soap , conditioner. It’s so nice to have the little extras that can add up! The entire house was immaculate. The water pressure was fantastic. The best part of the home is the large back porch. It is fully covered and has a pool built in to the deck which was wonderful to cool off in. And of course that beautiful view There are plenty of Adirondack chairs and also padded lounge chairs and a great hammock. The plants surrounding the home are lovely and give it that extra touch and show that it is well cared for. Caroline was so kind and easy to work with. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. We would highly recommend staying at Farther Away. So glad we did-we had a fantastic time.

First time in Barbados and we picked a great house. Nice quiet neighborhood views are spectacular. Recommend a rental car to get around. We toured the whole island and always great to come back to the house. Caroline was fantastic and very accommodating and communication was great. Highly recommend Farther Away.

Farther Away Takes You Where You Want To Be
It was a joy to stay here for three weeks. The constant Barbados sun and the sea breezes off the Atlantic cured our winter blues. The owners have thought of everything you could need including the amazing rum punch. Farther Away is decorated with an array of Caribbean colours, inside and out, making it a happy place. We did not need air conditioning because of the Atlantic sea breezes. A few things that surprised us - you can drink the water from the tap, the internet is great, neighbours are friendly, and the house is eco-friendly.

This home was everything it’s described to be. A feeling of being away. The ever present sound of the ocean….the delicious cool breezes….the unforgettable views….all lead to a feeling of being away from it all. Super relaxing. Caroline was there for us at 1am when we landed and tended to all our needs.

Parents and Teenagers on vacay!!!
We loved our time at Farther Away! There is something special about waking up to the sound of the surf and a view for miles up the coast from a fabulous cliff perch!!! No issues getting anywhere and as a family of surf-bums, who know Barbados pretty well, we had easy trips to Dover Beach, Freight's Bay and Cattlewash (I am too old for Soup Bowl!!!). The rest of Barbados is not hard to get to and we made it to Oistin's regularly, The only problem we had was that it was so comfortable at Farther Away that it was really really tough to get going past the patio and the lovely plunge pool, whose jets we set our clocks by. Don't forget to visit the Variety down the street if you go, they are lovely and most of the bus drivers stop there, so if you want the official Barbados Bus Experience, this is where you want to make some friends and get started. Thanks so much to Caroline, who was lovely the whole time and went to lengths to make sure we were ok!

Stunning views and amazing sunrises
My husband and I had an amazing time at Farther Away. The privacy was just what we needed! We loved waking up to the view of the ocean and the spectacular sunrise. We had everything we needed in the cottage and Caroline went above and beyond as a host coming out to find us after we got lost. She was always available if we were looking for suggestions or directions for food and entertainment. We look forward to returning to Farther Away! Thank you for everything Caroline!

Great Getaway
I would like to recommend this property to anyone who would like to get away from the hustle and bustle of the western side of Barbados. This property overlooks Skeetes Bay and is on the top of a cliff also overlooking the ocean. The cottage is clean and has all the amenities you need for a great stay. The plunge pool is private and just what you need to cool down while sitting on the backdeck enjoying the view. Caroline the host was awesome and would instantly respond to any questions with great advise as to what to do and see on the island.. I highly recommend this place. Some words of advice - Farther Away is in deed just that - so a rental vehicle is a must. When we were there the beach below was filled with seaweed which is happening right now down the entire eastern side of Barbados (and a a lot of the Caribbean), as a result we couldn't use the beach right by the cottage. I'm told that isn't usually the case just bad luck on our part. There are many other incredible beaches within a 20 minute drive. Enjoy the view and the breeze, its truly a magical spot, and the rum punch provide as a welcoming gift is wonderful!

Charming beyond Expectations!
As a return visitor to Barbados, I was looking for a specific property on the Eastern coast that would provide my entire family (3 adults and 3 teenagers) with a "home away from home" for Christmas. Farther Away Cottage fit the bill in every way! The location in Bayfield, St. Philip Parrish, is indeed "farther away" from the hustle and bustle and more lavish, touristy Western side of the island, but that's exactly where we wanted to be to experience more of the real local culture. The property is a family built getaway overlooking Skeete;s Bay. The ocean sounds and smells and the incredible views offered the relaxing getaway we all so desperately needed. The teenagers were NOT bored as we pre-booked multiple excursions with either door to door pick-up or within easy driving distance. The cottage is outfitted with virtually everything a family would need to cook, dine on the porch and even do laundry whenever we needed. Oh, and a very nice surprise was waiting for us when we arrived on Christmas Eve, the family's secret recipe for Barbadian Rum Punch! We all simply cannot wait to go back! PS Previously I had always stayed at the luxurious Crane Hotel not far from the cottage - staying at Farther Away is an entirely different, very unique local experience. We even met the neighbors. Caroline, thank you for helping my family make new and incredible memories! Hope to see you again! Christine Hillard and the Smith Family, Bowling Green, KY USA

Perfect secluded hide-away
As a group of 4 adults, we settled in, to a month of pure relaxation. Went out to shop for enough groceries every week with our rented car but spent our days on the beautiful deck overlooking the turquoise ocean and surf that lulled us to sleep at night. Took long walks everyday around the neighbourhood for exercise. and we all read many books. Ventured out to lovely waterfront restaurants for lunch on the island, so feel we got the best that Barbados has to offer for retired couples seeking peace and contentment. A car is necessary but with a GPS we were able to get anywhere we wanted to go. Lovely island and people everywhere were most helpful and friendly. Great place.

Beautiful authentic barbados cottage
We loved our stay at Faraway Cottage over Christmas and New Year, it is really well equipped with everything you need to live there during your stay. The constant sea breeze keeps the cottage comfortable and when we were there we would open the doors and listen to the relaxing sounds of the sea. Best to have a hire car and only 15-20mins away from everything. Bought all my fruit and veg from the beautiful stalls near farms, coconut water, freshly prepared by the side of the road. Loved being away from the main tourist area and experiencing the real barbados, all the neighbours in the village were super friendly. Caroline and David made everything welcoming and easy and there was even complimentary delicious rum punch in the fridge when we arrived. Would definately recommend and would return to stay at this property again.
