“remote pretty location, terrible service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Good things: in attractive gardens, by beach, not expensive
Bad things:
- famed for its restaurant but, although we booked room months ahead, when we arrived were told restaurant closed for our stay; nearest alternative a taxi ride away; and by the way, no maid service either as she has mid-week off!
- rooms very basic
- remote, great for an away-from-it-all-holiday!
One member of staff (out of a total of three) was helpful & charming, but there was a total absence of any management to provide even a minimum level of service.

“Nice restaurant BUT be aware of the accomodation!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2010
3
people found this review helpful

We were there for 6 nights and we had high expectations as the reviews were very good.
First of all let us start with the positive side.
We tried the restaurant one evening. It is good (but not outstanding). Not cheap.
Service was good as the owner Phil was very nice and looked after us.
The location is good as it is 35 minute walk from Hillsborough or a very short bus ride (very cheap fare). Having breakfast looking at the crashing waves is very nice and very relaxing.
You have free wi-fi which is very handy these days.
Now, let us describe the NOT so good aspects.
We arrived late (after 9pm) with the ferry from Grenada on Tuesday. The restaurant is closed that night so we had not much too eat. The only solution to it would have been to get a taxi and go on the other side of the island. Feasible but not ideal after a long ferry trip. I think it would have been nice for the owners to advise us that Tuesday was their close-day...so we cold have brought some food with us.
The owners welcome was nice from the Phil side, NON-EXISTENT from Roxanne side who we saw for the 1st time the 3rd day of our stay and she did not even say "welcome". This is quite surprising as people in Carriacou are extremely polite and friendly!
The cottage (we staid in mango) is ...VERY BASIC but sometimes I would say even too basic. The kitchen area is small, the 2 fire hub is very old (but it works) and rusty. Utensils are very basic and some do not work: the can opener does not work and you have to borrow the only one that the restaurant has! there is no sieve, no toaster and the kettle has a 2 pin plug when Carriacou is on 3 UK-pin-type plug! Only 3 big plates, 2 glasses, 2 cups. So it is all down to bare minimum!
The table, the only table, is tiny and quite awkward when you dine on it as it leans on one side.
The bathroom is very basic (but clean), the loo cover is broken.
The bed: the mattress is a foamy type one. not very comfortable as I think it is quite old. It sinks as you lie on it. The first set of sheets we had had the mattress sheet ripped..so I basically slept on the mattress! the second set of sheets had marks all over, blood like marks! We asked for a change and also the second set was stained. Very thin and worn too.
Noise: if you are a light sleeper do not go there as they waves are very noisy. The sandy bottom is shallow and waves crashes a lot there.
Breakfast: I did say that the settings are lovely as you listen to the sea and look at the garden but service could be a bit happier. The lady serving breakfast is not very happy. She eventually managed to smile at us and maybe she was never upset with us, maybe she is a very quiet person,. but it took her a while to ask us how we were doing! I think customer service is quite important and we felt a bit "left alone" on this one.
Dogs: if you like dogs it is all very well. The owners have 2 big dogs that barks a lot and cry a lot if the owners are away. Luckily they are quiet at night. Unluckily they are allowed in the restaurant (not sure about the kitchen area) and they poo everywhere in the garden so you have to watch your steps when you walk around. Every now and then somebody clean the poo luckily.
A little nuisance was about the stone slabs that lead you from the restaurant to the mango cottage: 2 slabs are missing near the cottage and you have only soil there to walk on (no grass). You get muddy feet very easily.
Light in the cottage: the lighting is very poor. You can't see much in the kitchen and almost nothing in the bathroom. the shower is in the dark!
Mosquito net on the bed and on the windows: ripped in several places.
Last day: the owners left in the morning to go on a boat trip. They did not say much to us. Phil told us "bye", Roxanne said nothing and gave us the dinner bill! No thank you, nothing!
Price: for 6 nights we paid 582US dollars. 97dollars per night. This is definitely very expensive for what you get. we were quoted 100 dollar more in another accommodation in Carriacou that has much more to offer. We paid 693$ US for 8 night in Grenada in a wonderful apartment (Woburn Villas, go for it!!), spacious, with dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, 2 bedrooms and bathrooms!

So in conclusion, try the restaurant, avoid the accommodation..unless you like an overpriced basic one!

“Great place to stay - a must!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

We stayed here for 3 nights recently and can't praise it highly enough. We stayed in Lime Cottage which was lovely and very adequate for our stay. it's right on the beach and we had a very nice time here. We were lucky enough to dine in the restaurant on site and the food was stunning! All in all a lovely place to stay, the owners Phil & Roxanne were very welcoming and I would highly recommend to anyone. PS - if you like dogs, the bonus here is that they have 2 lovely dogs, Tom & Albert, who are absolute sweethearts! Go!

“Greta Place To Stay and Great Food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2010

We stayed at Bogles for two nights in August and were really taken. We had one of the cottages which although quite basic had great views and was really clean. There are a couple of shops in the village where you can buy drinks and a frdige in the rooms. Bogles is right on a bus route which runs frequently. On both nights we ate in the restaurant which was absolutely fantastic, all home cooked food in a unique building and only catering for about 20 covers. Breakfast was included and was served in the garden. Please, please don't go to Grenada without going to Carriacou and don't go to Carriacou without visiting the Round House even if its only for dinner.

“Great dining experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2010

While in Grenada for the month of February, 2010, we took the ferry to Carriacou and spent two nights at the Bogle Roundhouse. The Mango cottage we stayed in was rated the best of the three cottages, so I'm glad we were not in either of the other two. Rustic, is probably the kindest word to describe it. No TV, radio or phone and a ceiling fan/light that was not working did not help. We never did try the stove, but it looked like it came out of the Ark. Primitive, would have been another way to describe the accommodation. There was a mosquito net, but as the weather had been so dry, we had no need for it. To be fair, there are probably a lot of much younger people, who might enjoy the experience, but the older you get, the more you seem to enjoy the comforts of life and lizards running over your feet ,while sitting on the toilet, has somehow lost its majic for us! The water taxi driver, Neiko, took us to Paradise Beach, which was an enjoyable day. The big attraction at the Roundhouse however, is the food at the restaurant. Two women did the bartending, waitressing and cooking , and the food was out of this world. No wonder Roxanne won awards for the best chef in Carriacou and in Grenada. My wife and I, are both regarded as being good cooks and we know good food when we taste it. We take our hats of to you Roxanne, and to your apprentice, for a wonderful dining experience. They are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I am not sure why, because a number of people told me in Grenada, that they tried to get a booking on the nights they were open, but couldn't, because it is so popular. On the Tuesday night, we went to the Lime and Dine in Hillsborough, that had a limited menu, but excellent food at reasonable prices. Two days was enough time on a small island and the only reason we would return, in spite of the very friendly people, would be because of Roxanne's cooking!
