We had a lovely time at Castara Cottage - a great holiday and great accommodation. The whole holiday was fantastic. Castara Cottage was delightful and importantly our 18 month old daughter loved it! We've described it as a holiday in a tree house and for that reason alone it was memorable.
Tobago is delightful giving the impression that tourism has barely touched it although I would imagine this is changing rapidly. Castara is beautiful. I don't think I have come across such a stunning location
We found that one of the grocery shops on the main road sold fresh bread every day which was excellent. A book that allows guests to make comments is sometimes useful for newcomers and great to browse through in 5 years time!
Definitely worth stocking on provisions if you plan to go fully self catered as supplies in Castara are limited especially if don't have a car.
Tobago itself is so easy to get around by car although sign posts can sometimes be a bit few and far between. We didn't go on any tours so couldn't make any comments.
The new web site looks great and emphasises all the unique qualities.
Thanks for helping make our holiday in Tobago so memorable.

Utterly wonderful, natural, unpretentious and charming! Just a few of the adjectives that describe Castara cottage.
Nestled within what I can only describe as a miniature rainforest, staying here means being greeted daily by a dawn chorus of a wide variety of Tobagonian birds.
Perhaps best of all is the brief walk to the great beach.
Friendly locals and tourists alike made the stay all the better. Castara Bay, where the cottage is located is an untypical tourist resort, in as much as the locals live there too.
I stayed for just 7 nights and very quickly chilled out, the setting completely removing me from the hectic life I lead in London.
The rooms are very comfortable and the amenities very satisfactory, but if you're looking for 5* luxury, this is not the place for you.
In my opinion, the discerning tourist will completely appreciate the cottage's natural charm, and the opportunity to immerse themselves in Tobagonian culture.
Can't wait to go back!
