Rossomar Rentals is located in a small quiet cul-de-sac of a residential area on the upper end of St. Stephens Hill road. The Guesthouse is only a few years old and the outside work on the property remains unfinished. From the elevated outlook, you can see the cruise ships that have docked in the harbour at Bridgetown.
Our friendly and informative Host, Janice Ward, collected us from the airport (USD$20 each way) and stopped off at a major supermarket along the way so that we could stock up with essentials for our weeks stay.
Our room was a reasonable size with en-suite (with excellent powerful shower) and had Cable TV, A/C, Ceiling fan and a refrigerator. We also had our own little patio / balcony outside our room. However, the room looked a little tired around the edges and could have done with a spring clean and freshening up with a lick of paint.
The communal kitchen was reasonably clean and adequate. However, more cutlery and utensils are needed, and those that are there, need replacing.
Rossomar rentals is a little out of the way and it is not near any other Visitor Accommodation / Hotels. Going anywhere, in practical terms, involves either taking a bus or a taxi.
To catch a bus to Bridgetown, the bus stop is only about a 7 minute walk up St. Stephens Hill Road from the Guesthouse and depending on the time of day, we waited up to 20 minute for a bus to arrive.
To catch a bus to the fantastic beaches of the west coast, we walked about 1km down St. Stephens Hill road until we reached the main road that straddles the west coast. Buses shuttle frequently back and forth along west coast as far as Speightstown. However, the walk back up the hill in the dark of evening proved quite precarious with little space by the side of the road to walk safely and even less street lighting which, at times, lead to dodging cars from both directions on sharp blind bends. Taxis back to our accommodation proved a safer option. Rossomar is more suited to those who have their own transport.
The closest beach, Brighton beach, is about a 40 minute walk away. However, our Host did kindly offer to drive us to the ‘local’ beach on two occasions of our choice during our stay.
