The Whole Story
Located just down the beach from Heron Bay and Sandy Lane – the institutions that kickstarted Barbadian tourism – the House is the beachside version of a hip downtown hotel. The House is the venue for an extremely laid-back ritual that alternates between eating in the bar, swimming, sitting in the sun, drinking in the bar, swimming, sitting in the sun...until it gets dark, when the city gene reasserts itself and these chilled-out, suntanned, dressed-down urbanites revert to their primal role of restaurant stalkers. For this the House itself may be one of the best hunting grounds on the island, because the most acclaimed addition to the Barbados restaurant scene is Daphne's. Located bang on the beach, this satellite of the famous London restaurant is regarded by many as better than the original.
On a design front, its combination of ornate Persian-style floor-to-ceiling metal screens with teak furniture and floors is suitably exotic. Yet it's a beautifully intimate place with plenty of privacy for romantic dining. Daphne's serves a metropolitan version of Italian dishes, with an emphasis on seafood, But good as it is, you are not bound to eat at Daphne's every night, From the House you are a short distance from Lonestar, another acclaimed urban-style restaurant, or the Tides, or Josef's, or Fishpot, or La Mer, or Mango's by the Sea.... You get the idea,
Back at the hotel, it's interesting to note that the proprietors chose the name to suggest the ambience of renting a villa as opposed to staying in a hotel. They have a point. There are no brass buttons or reception desk in sight.
