Historic Sea View Plantation with House & Cottage

Description from the owner

A departure from the usual villa rental holidays, Butler's is a private historic retreat with a Great House and Cottage (Cottage available as of June 1 2011) on 6 acres of a former plantation situated atop the village which shares its name.

Butler's House and Cottage comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests and is only rented to one party at a time so guests have exclusive use of the pool & gardens regardless of how many bedrooms are rented.

Nestled in the foothills of Butlers Mountain, the property commands sweeping sea views with an intoxicating landscape of colour and fragrance. Spend your days lounging by the 35 foot pool whi...le gazing out to the sea or take a stroll through the ruins and extensive gardens. You may discover an artefact and even run into a family of green monkeys.

Butler's House is and feels like a home and comfortably sleeps 4 adults and 2 children. Tastefully decorated with an eclectic selection of antique and sympathetic modern furniture, you'll quickly ease into the comfortable surroundings of the House. Both of the Queen-sized bedrooms have generous bathrooms. The third bedroom features a comfortable daybed with trundle.

Butler's Cottage, a Nevisian-style home, bridges the gap between the 17th century property and modern day by reflecting the elegant simplicity and homeliness of the historic Butler's House. Sitting contentedly on the Upper Terrace, the Cottage is close enough to the House for ease, yet far enough away for privacy. It is rented out in conjunction with the House and has room for 2 adults and 2 children.

Butler's has a generator (as of June 2011) and includes housekeeping, pool cleaning and a gardener. A cook can be arranged with advance notice. Baby highchair, crib and portable playpen available. Wireless, cable TV installed.

Upon arrival to Nevis, a taxi will bring you to Butler's House where our local agent will greet you and answer any questions. Our agent will book the taxi and can also arrange your rental car. Your first dinner can be arranged and food supplies provided.Read more

  Amazing holiday in Nevis

  Left on 01/25/2013 for a stay in December 2012
  
  

  We stayed at Butler's house for two weeks over Christmas and New Years 2012. The home is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous grounds and spectacular views. We awoke to monkeys playing in the jungle in the back yard. We spent our mornings reading on the veranda and our evening drinking CSR and Ting on the same veranda! Nevis is a gorgeous island with incredibly friendly people. Bernice was a great source of information and the folks down at Millie's and Dominos College were great to chat with over a Carib. Finally, the service we received from Kay was absolutely top notch. She arranged for everything such as the car, transfers and groceries. Everything she arranged went perfectly! I would recommend this property to anyone looking to spend a relaxing holiday in gorgeous Nevis. Though I hope to rebook before too many people find out about Butlers!
