Guest Report

[Peter & Carol]

Marguerite and Sherwin, owners of very aptly-named little House on the Hill made us feel that nothing could be any bother to them if it helped make our stay more enjoyable.
Yes, the house is a touch on the difficult-to-reach side being a 15-minute waly up the steep road from Castara village followed by a steep path (which can be slippery when wet) up from the road to the house itself. At tobagonian speed, the walk isn't too strenuous and there are always the gorgeos views to admire along the way - so don't be deterred. Anyway, compared to beach-front prices, you could include car hire for your full stay in your budget!
Moving in couldn't have been made easier, as Sherwin practically ran up the path to deposit our luggage in the house.
Once installed you will find a relatively basic, but clean, bright and comfortably-appointed wooden bungalow in the traditional style. The living and kitchen areas are spacious, with a large balcony off the lounge, the two bedrooms slightly less so, but very adequate, nonetheless. Whilst there is no air-con, the traditional build offers an airy breeze, there are fans in every room and you'll be outdoors every minute you can, anyway.
As shopping locally is something of a hit and miss affair, you'd do well to stop at a supermarket on the way in from the airport and stock up - there's a large fridge-freezer, good cooker and microwave in the kitchen, so no worries there.
Now sit back and enjoy: the many beautiful birds that visit the garden, the colourful lizzards and occasional snake, the overall beauty of the large garden and the great views across and along the valley.
Costing far less than accommodation of similar standard and size in and around the village, The Litle House on the Hill and its friendly owners are to be strongly recommended.
