Vacation 2020
Lyle and Lynn are friendly and helpful and at the same time you hardly realize they are there. They were willing to help us arrange any trips we wanted to try. Also gave detailed instructions on buses and routes to closest town for shopping. It is a very nice place to stay and I hope that we will be able to stay again here sometime soon. I think anyone would enjoy their stay!

Tim and his group were just great. Tim had reserved the apartment in early 2018 and we are happy that he was not disappointed. We had a bulb in an important area that needed replacing. They were gracious enough to retrieve the old one and put in the new one. They were friendly and easy to host. They were mindful of the house rules and left the apartment tidy. They would be welcome to return and thank them for choosing Lynly Manor for their Barbados vacation and anniversary.

Lynly Manor..A great home away from home
Lyle and Lynne are wonderful hosts. So helpful . Even loaned me a charger as I forgot mine! Any problem in the apt. was rectified immediately. Lovely,quiet,safe area where the monkeys made our day when they visited the yard. I recommend this site to any able bodied individual as you have a couple of long blocks to walk to the beach. We enjoyed your comfortable home and hospitality Lyle and Lynne. Take care. Wally and Joan.

Walter and Joan were great guests and we were thrilled to be able to host them. We were there for most of their stay. They were easy to accommodate and we were happy we could help them out with a few things. They advised us when something was not working as it should allowing us to immediately correct the situation and that was truly appreciated. We would definitely host them again although we recognize that with her walker it was difficult for Joan to maneuver once outside the apartment. We wish them well and thank them for choosing Lynly Manor for their Barbados vacation.

A wonderful stay away!
We didn’t know much about where to stay on the island other than we wanted to be close to a beach. Lynly guest house was a perfect cottage like experience for our family of 4. It was as described but more! It is only a 5 minute walk to the beach. The neighbour hood is very safe. We got to know the friendly staff at the Rubis gas station mini mart... another 5 minute walk. There you can get all your basics food wise and they are always open. Lyle and Lynne were so helpful with information and reservations! We have 2 teenagers and they were able to come and go to the beach on their own. The bus stop is enroute to the beach and the bus system is simple to navigate. Lyle and Lynne arranged a taxi for us to Lynly house which was awesome. There is a nice little porch on the front and the back to sit out on....we often enjoyed a morning coffee and a book here. Hint to coffee drinkers.... coffee is hard to find so bring a bag of your own ground. There is a coffee maker in the kitchen. Overall, we found this property to be what we expected and would go back again. Lyle and Lynne were wonderful to deal with and would recommend them as hosts!

What an absolute pleasure to host Kim and her family. From the beginning communication was great. They were coming in after stores closed on Dec 24 and with Christmas and Boxing Day shopping would be a little difficult. Kim was easy to set up dinner reservations to accommodate those days. They kept in touch with us and kept us notified of any issues. Thank goodness they were minor but we truly appreciated the “heads up” so we would know what was going on. We are thrilled they had a great time and would host them again and recommend them to any other host.

Quiet peaceful Stay at LYNLY Manor
Lynne and Lyle are amazing hosts. We were having difficulty in understanding the route to their place. Not only did they guide us in writing but also sent their manager Albert to the airport to guide us and give us the keys. They called us periodically as well to make sure we were doing ok. House was clean. No insects or mosquitoes. Kitchen had all the essential items. We didn't watch tv nor did laundry. 5 minutes walk to beautiful Mullins Beach. Grocery stores Massy was 7min drive. Overall we liked the place. Somethings that can be improved are Internet quality and newer linens.

Ms. Ali and her family great guests and would be welcome again. Even in face of some island infrastructure issues, that were not under our control, they were great guests. We loved the fact that they kept us informed. The internet routers and boosters are kept in the main house in the master bedroom.The main house is solar with batteries that keep certain items going. One of those items is the internet so that even in a blackout any guest can still have some internet to make an outside contact. The house is made of steel reinforced concrete which then limits the strength and distance of the boosters. We understand the issue and are looking for ways to overcome this problem without the guest having to come outside the apartment and use their device on the porch. We thank them for their comment regarding the linens and will look to remedy that situation. We would definitely have then return as guests.

Location and apartment just perfect.
The apartment was fully equipped and perfect for us. Close to the beach and the gas station. We always drive when in barbados and the location on the west cost is quiet and still convenient for speightstown and holetown. On our last day we had car trouble and the lovely owners offered to drive us to the airport if we needed. We will definitley stay again. Thanks Lynly Manor we enjoyed our stay very much.

Nicole was a lovely guest and it was a pleasure hosting her. We have tried to maintain the apartments and keep them up to date. When we are in Barbados, we look to accommodate our guests anyway we can.

Comfortable, affordable apartment
We enjoyed our stay at this apartment very much. Ceiling fans in several rooms plus A/C in the bedrooms made it very comfortable on hot evenings and nights. We arrived late in the evening but our gracious, friendly hosts were there to greet us and help us get settled. The house is in a very quiet neighbourhood and a short walk to Mullins beach and Beach Bar. It is close to the bus route but we had a rental car, which was great for exploring the island. We could choose from two outdoor sitting areas so that we could always be comfortable out of the strong sun and heat. The apartment could use a few more dishes, cutlery and cooking utensils so that the dishwasher wouldn't have to be used so often. We had a problem with the bathroom light not working but it was fixed very quickly. Lynn and Lyle couldn't have been better hosts, so kind, friendly and interesting to talk to.

Howard and Valerie were great guests and would be welcome back at anytime. It was a pleasure hosting them. We try very hard to make our guests welcome because more than anything we want them to have a great time....both in Barbados and at Lynly Manor.

Delightful & Welcoming
The apartment was comfortable, clean and simply furnished for basic cooking. Our hosts were fabulous - welcoming, helpful, responsive to small emergencies - and knowledgable about the island both before our visit by email and during our time in Barbados. Area was very quiet and so convenient to the beach at Mullins Bay. Highly recommend!

Linda was a fantastic guest and it was a pleasure having her. We are happy she enjoyed both the island and the apartment. She would certainly be welcomed back should she decide to return to Barbados.

Peaceful and convenient location.
My husband and myself have just spent one month at Lynly Manor. The location is ideal and so peaceful yet just a short walk to Mullins beach and the bus stop. Where you can easily get to the North or South of the Island for just 2 Barbadian dollars. The apartment is spacious and has all the conveniences for a self catering holiday. There is a small patio to the front for al fresco dining.

From the beginning it was a pleasure working with Joanna for her vacation at Lynly Manor. From her initial inquiry to the final countdown her questions were good and thoughtful. We are glad that she found the apartment convenient and with useful amenities. We try to make sure the apartment is kept up as has been shown by the positive reviews over so many years.

Great place to stay!
We had a lovely stay at Lynly Manor, which is just as described. It is spacious, very well equipped and a nice breeze constantly blew though the Apartment. We preferred quieter Gibbes beach to Mullins, but that was also just a short walk away. Lynne and Lyle were perfect hosts and always responded quickly, even though we didn't get to meet them personally. Would definitely come back!
