“Can't wait to return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We only had 2 nights at Gingerbread Hill - we could have spent a lot longer.
The accommodation is split into 3 (over 3 levels.) We stayed in the 2 bedroom Villa (middle level) with our 2 children (Aged 9 & 6) The Villa is comfortable and spacious with all the things you need.
The pictures really don't show just how breath taking the views are. We had clear views over to Rhonda and Nevis with beautiful sunsets.
The children loved the porch swing and the wrap around verandah. We even had a little chameleon behind the picture outside.
On our second day we took the island tour with Sunny and Kristina which was probably the highlight of our stay as we saw so many things that we would have missed.
At Gingerbread Hill you have the best of both types of accomodation - the independance of a self-catering, with the Lea family as the best hosts. Clover picked us up from the airport, gave us lifts to restaurants and the store. The Lea's were very helpful without being intrusive and you genuinely feel as if nothing is too much trouble.
Montserrat is a stunning place to visit even if you are not interested in Volcano's!
The people we met - without exception were very friendly and helpful.
We can't wait to return for a longer stay.

“Half the Cost of Other Caribbean Islands”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2011

people found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I loved Gingerbread Hill and the Heavenly Suite. We stayed in the Heavenly Suite for eight nights in late February/early March 2011. On other Caribbean islands, we would and have paid more than twice as much for the equivalent of the bedroom, the bathroom and the view at the Heavenly Suite. At Gingerbread Hill, we even got a full kitchen (something we’ve never had before) and a living room. The view from the balcony was amazing. The personal touches throughout the Heavenly Suite made me feel like I was at the home of a friend who really knew how to take care of visitors. We enjoyed watching the sunsets from the balcony and the stars from the sun deck. The people on the island were consistently friendly, helpful and chatty. Sunny’s tour was great! For the first time on a Caribbean trip, we ended up spending more on our flights (to Antigua from the U.S. and then on FlyMontserrat for 20 minutes) than we did on accomodations and food in nine days on the island. Gingerbread Hill is the kind of place I can see myself coming back to over and over again. One final note, we had a look around the 2-bedroom unit underneath ours and it was really nice, too. In addition to the 2 bedrooms, that unit had 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, a living room, a covered porch, and an awesome view) for the same price. We were a little envious of the covered porch since the sun drove us inside every day around 2:00pm up in the Heavenly Suite. I can imagine coming back to Gingerbread Hill and taking up all the units with my family for an amazing, island vacation.

“Amazing!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011

Gingerbread Hill " is located on the top of the hill and the view is stunning.
We have rented different villas in Montserrat in prior years , but none of them had the view comparable to Gingerbread Hill. Both Heavenly Suite and The Villa are tastefully decorated and the attention is given to all the details. Owners are wonderful and you can have fresh eggs from their chickens .
Tour with Sunny was the highlight of our stay. It was customized tour for two of us.
Sunny spent with us almost all day to cover all we wanted to see.
We travel all over the world , but Montserrat and Gingerbread Hill is a very special place.

Thanks David, Clover and Sunny for making it possible

“Heaven on Earth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2011

My husband and I stayed here for 8 nights in the Heavenly Suite and wished it could have been longer. Gingerbread Hill really is the closest thing to heaven on earth. I had high expectation of Gingerbread Hill before arriving. Gingerbread Hill exceeded my expectations. The views were magnificant. The apartment is large and comfortable. The shower had boiling hot water. It is so peaceful at night and was nice to be woken up by the sound of crowing roosters. The owners are very helpful and knowledgeable about the island. We even ordered homemade cinnamon buns from their daughter-in-law and these were a wonderful treat for our morning breakfast. All in all I would recommend Gingerbread Hill to anyone that enjoys the wonders of nature and Montserrat is a great island for rest and relaxation. We will be back!

“Stunning was the word that constantly came to mind”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

Montserrat is a very special island with stunning views, good weather and warm people.
All of these features are manifested no more strongly on the island than at Gingerbread Hill.
For those of us fortunate enough to have stayed at Gingerbread Hill and enjoyed the ambience,
views and, abve all, the super hospitality and friendliness of the Lea family, we are indeed blessed.
I cannot think of a better place to be.
Thank you Clover, David, Noah, Jesse and Sunny for the life altering experience
