My wife and I have an extended family, spread throughout North America, and periodically we get together over the holidays. This past Christmas/New Year all of us went to Springhouse Estate where we rented the entire facility, including chef, household staff, and three jeeps. It was a fantastic experience.
The layout allowed us to group families together in the various bedroom clusters, while the pool and surrounding areas provided space to mingle and relax. The food was absolutely first class and the staff we found to be most accommodating and very imaginative. We had two birthdays and the extra effort that went into making those occaisions special was really appreciated.
GREAT FOR ALL AGES
Our family of 12, 2 grandparents, our 6 adult children; and 4 grandchildren (2 teenagers and 2 under age 7) spent two weeks at Springhouse. The two families with children each had their own wing, separate from each other and separate from the other two couples. The pool and deck were in the middle. It was an ideal arrangement and facility that was thoroughly enjoyed by each one of us.
The special attention was truly appreciated. There were many small, tasteful, seasonal decorations throughout and two real Christmas trees, beautifully decorated. The surprise decorations, table setting, champagne, cake and gifts to celebrate the twins 17h birthday was amazing. They were truly touched! It was our daughter in laws' birthday the day we had an early departure and a breakfast tray was delivered to her room so she could have breakfast in bed. The staff were kind, attentive, helpful and just plain amazing in all ways.
MUSTIQUE LUXURY IN BEQUIA
One day we used the Springhouse catamaran to visit the island of Mustique just to the south of Bequia, where the rich and famous own properties, many of which, we discovered, are rented out at prices affordable only by the "rich and famous". Yet we felt that Springhouse would have fitted comfortably into the Mustique layout, an observation reinforced by a Canadian colleague we invited for a drink at Springhouse. He has owned a place on Bequia for years and he winters there. He told us there is no other place on Bequia that matches the quality and service available at Springhouse.
So, nothing more can be added to comments already made by others except: "do it...go... you will love it and want to go back asap.
