ScottGullyEcoLodge boasts a 40ft patio surrounded by natural greenery allowing you to rejuvenate body and mind. This spacious breathtaking cottage located in the lush tropical forests of the Scotland District of Barbados was designed for those who need a quiet location after other activities that takes them to the more touristy locations or just a holiday space to rejuvenate mind and body after working hard as part of their regular routine. The space is part of a vital ecosystem and so guests will be enthralled by the sounds of the tropical animals inhabiting the environment, from birds to bees and the very popular green monkey. The property though very private is located on one acre of land shared by three sisters or jokingly, "The Three Little Pigs." The property has two adjoining but separate partments. My brother Mark lives in one apartment and is very quiet but helpful. Interaction with family is up to guest. ScottGullyEcoLodge boasts local seasonal fruits like bananas, plantains, mangoes, cherries, pawpaws, soursops and coconuts. Healing herbs are among the organic garden's delicacies; rosemary, shadon beni and oregano . The many trees surrounding the property lends to fresher breezes and one cannot help but feel healthier and breathe easier in this location. Be lured into adventure as you lie in the hammock in the patio listening to the trickling seasonal nearby stream. This super green location affords you the opportunity to be away from the bustling crowd and be in a very quiet, serene space. You will stay close to many popular attractions like the St. Nicolas Abbey with its new train tours, the surfing village of Bathsheba and its pools, which are so refreshing and healing as the waters come in from the winds pushed by the North East Trade Winds and then magically calmed by the rocks some of which are part of an old steam engine rail road. Close by as well are: Huntes Gardens and Harrison Cave. Flower Forest Nothing feels better than enjoying the rest of the country and knowing that you are returning to a location of total peace and tranquility. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car available - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a zoo - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29500000/29493200/29493115/6beb5b18.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Spacious Villa 4 min from the beach, Royal Fairmont beach club member.
