Lambsdown Looks Out Towards Saint Kitts

Exactly one hundred years after a traditional wooden chattel house was built in Fountain village, Eric Lamb orchestrated its move - on a flatbed truck - to a new location at the head of the Spring Hill valley. After much hard work, sympathetic additions and plenty of imagination, it became one of Nevis' premier rental properties, "Lambsdown". It was so popular that he has recently added three more cottages. One - The Garden Cottage – is, as its name implies, in the garden of the main house. Although not of the same era as the original, it is built in the same timeless Antillean style with local stone and artifacts from neighbouring islands, with an attention to detail that is one of the main features of these romantic retreats.
Two further eco cabins have been erected on stilts above the forest canopy at the top of the valley just across the trail from the main house. They are called Firefly, named after the captivating insect that is, on a clear night, indistinguishable from the stars above. All four cottages, although within 50 meters of each other, offer total privacy and tranquility and in the case of Firefly, a unique vantage point to observe the varied wildlife of the valley at close proximity. They can be rented as a whole or separately.

The cottage is a subtle blend of old Caribbean with modern touches, beautifully crafted to a very high standard, no comfort has been spared. It is essentially a romantic one room cottage for two persons. Wide ocean facing balcony with a Jacuzzi for the ultimate in relaxation.
The main room combines a platform king size four poster bed, a small yet fully equipped kitchen with innovative appliances such as a combination oven dishwasher! The kitchen cabinets are all refurbished antiques, the floors all polished pine and the windows and sliding doors all oiled greenheart.

The bathroom with its marbled power shower, wooden hand-basin and floor 'grating' are quite unique.
