The house was built by Sir John Colleton in the 1650s. Sir John was a sugar baron who headed up a group to which King Charles II gave North and South Carolina and all the land to the Pacific Ocean. Read more in the history section. The property was recently re-opened to the public as an historic guest house. It has three beautiful suites in the Great House and a two-bedroom self-contained guest cottage. It is a short walk to the stunning west coast beaches, the new and fashionable Nikki Beach and lots of bars and restaurants from elegant to fun Bajan local rum bars. The Guest Cottage is a charming two-bedroom house perched on a cliff-top with what must be one of the world’s great views. The front balcony is the perfect place to watch the sun set over the Caribbean sea. While we do not know exactly when the cottage was built, it was in existence when Sir John Colleton acquired the estate in 1650\. The British settled Barbados only 23 years earlier. Since then it has been extended and modernized for the guests of the Great House. The front bedroom has a four-poster double bed, colonial ceiling fan and private bathroom and toilet. It opens on to a courtyard garden on one side the Caribbean sea on the other. The second bedroom has three single beds and a fold-out settee. It has a ceiling fan, private shower and toilet facilities. A cot, playpen and high chair are available for guests with babies. The remainder of the cottage contains an entrance foyer, toilet, dining room, separate kitchen and laundry, and a sitting room with fibre wifi and a smart TV with Netflix. There is a large balcony at the front which is used for breakfasts and evening cocktails and a private courtyard at the rear of the house. The Guest Cottage is set in seven acres of tropical gardens and guests are free to use the pool. While it has its own kitchen, guests are welcome to come to the Colleton Great House breakfasts if they choose. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 private bathroom ### Entertainment - Netflix - Streaming services - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Comfort - Ceiling fan ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Area rugs in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36130000/36124700/36124601/911a9d91.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### LIVE IT UP AT COLLETON GREAT HOUSE - HIBISCUS SUITE St Peter [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=36124601&PinnedHotelID=36124601&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36170000/36169800/36169704/19d3196f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### LIVE IT UP AT COLLETON GREAT HOUSE - SEAVIEW ROOM St Peter - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=36169704&PinnedHotelID=36169704&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36180000/36174600/36174584/255f450c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### LIVE IT UP AT COLLETON GREAT HOUSE - HISTORIC ROOM St Peter - Pool - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=36174584&PinnedHotelID=36174584&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36170000/36169500/36169415/328909f4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### LIVE IT UP AT COLLETON GREAT HOUSE - INDIGO ROOM St Peter - Pool - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=36169415&PinnedHotelID=36169415&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36170000/36169300/36169286/1cf82d0a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### LIVE IT UP AT COLLETON GREAT HOUSE - BLUE ROOM St Peter - Pool - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=36169286&PinnedHotelID=36169286&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93390000/93385200/93385163/e05560b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Secret Cove 2 | Beach Front - Located in Exquisite Saint James with Private Chef Services Saint James - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=93385163&PinnedHotelID=93385163&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109050000/109047700/109047638/d7e5099c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Large modern villa with pool on West Coast near beach & restaurants w/ parking.
