As a venue for weddings it is nothing short of a dream. We had the most stunning sunset, the layout of the property is fantastic for a cocktail style wedding with an intimate setting and beautiful backdrop. We also stayed here for 6 nights with family and friends and it was so special to have the staff attend to us and be able to enjoy each other's company in a warm home with so many of us traveling from all over the world to be here. It was great value for the group and we would recommend it for anyone thinking about a wedding, family reunion, or special occasion trip or even for just a quiet, family holiday. We'll be back! ##### Tania M. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### larisa l. 5 Aug 2025 #### 5 Star We had an amazing stay here at Nelson Gay. The staff was caring and made our vacation 10 times better. This was our second time staying here and it's definitely not the last! ##### larisa l. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### larisa l. 5 Aug 2025 #### 5 Star The vacation was amazing. The staff was very helpful and they took care of us like we were family. If by any chance we can come back to Barbados - we definitely will come back because fo them!! Thank you very much!!!!!! ##### larisa l. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karin C. 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely INCREDIBLE stay! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had every amenity we could need. The location was perfect, peaceful, and felt like a true getaway. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the staff—welcoming, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully handled. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend! ##### Karin C. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie O. 3 Sept 2025 #### 5 Star Our group of 15 girls had the most unforgettable trip to Barbados staying at the stunning Nelson Gay Mansion from the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the property - the pool, the private beach access and the lush gardens made it feel like our own private paradise. We were delighted to share the grounds with some very special "neighbours" - a sweet monkey and her babies, playful roosters, and two affectionate cats who quickly became part of the family during our stay. What truly made this experience exceptional was the incredible staff. The butlers, chefs, housekeeping, security, and concierge went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, from delicious meals to thoughtlful service they made us feel completely cared for and spoilt throughout our trip. Thank you to the entire Nelson Gay team for making our girls so magical, we created memories here that we will cherish forever and we cannot wait to return! With love from the NYC GIRLS TRIP 2025!! ##### Leslie O. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels near Warrington Bank Quay Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Bank-Quay-Station-Hotels.d553248634672627834.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Phantasialand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phantasialand-Hotels.0-l6073505-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Spa Hotels in Marks Tey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marks-Tey-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6055673-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Pasjača Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasjaca-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248635977031270-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Mozambique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Mozambique.d123.Hotel-Destinations) > - [Hotel Benaco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nago-Torbole-Hotels-Hotel-Benaco.h5055718.Hotel-Information) > - [Casino Hotels in Kutaisi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kutaisi-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d8357-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Aparthotels Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Apart-Hotels.d2205-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels in Quartieri Spagnoli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quartieri-Spagnoli-Naples-Hotels.0-n553248634838840685-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Boutique Hotels in Cartagena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cartagena-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel.0-0-d926-tBoutiqueHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Mondello Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mondello-Park-Hotels.0-l6170991-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels with Airport Transfers in Manhattan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manhattan-New-York-Hotels-Hotel-With-Airport-Transfers.0-n129440-0-thotelwithairporttransfers.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Sugar Cane Club Hotel And Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Speightstown-Hotels-Sugar-Cane-Club-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1273913.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Berkshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Berkshire-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d6046252-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Hotels in London Colney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Colney-Hotels.d6268112.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > - [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/amd/manchester-to-ahmedabad) > - [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Regina (YQR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/yvr/yqr/vancouver-to-regina) > - [British Airways Hounslow (LHR) to Saint-Louis (BSL) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-heathrow-to-euroairport/ba/lhr/bsl) > - [Flights from New Delhi (DEL) to Schiphol (AMS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/del/ams/delhi-to-amsterdam) > - [Flights from Reus (REU) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/reu/ncl/reus-to-newcastle) ### Cars > - [Car hire in Hellesylt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Hellesylt.d6024023.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > - [Cassis Tourist Office](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cassis-Tourist-Office-Marseille.d553248635998055448.Attraction) ### General > - [Visit Bude](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bude.dx182475) ---
