Toad Hall Cottages

Calvados Heights is perched on the edge of Turtle Bay cliff, and commands magnificent totally unspoilt views of Montserrat to the South and the coast of Antigua to the West. Situated in a very safe and crime free area, at the end of a two mile track, the position of the house and studio occupies one of the finest sites on the island and has what we consider to have some of the best views. A large kidney shaped swimming pool is in front of the house above the cliff edge and the rocky beach below is within a few minutes walk, with its clean, clear water being excellent for both swimming and snorkelling. Guests staying at Calvados Heights actually caught 5 lobsters here! The main beach (coral) is approximately 5 minutes walk away.

This superb, wonderfully secluded property has been built to a high standard and is very comfortably and tastefully furnished with antiques and delightful soft furnishings. Electricity is via solar panels and backed up by generator. With many terraces on different levels, a roof garden and beautifully landscaped exotic grounds that every budding gardener dreams of, including areas that give welcome shade, the whole property creates its' own totally relaxed atmosphere. The owners have endeavoured to try and think of everything to ensure that their guests have a memorable holiday, even the sunsets (weather permitting)! An initial food and drink pack (including rum!) of dinner and breakfast provided on arrival.
