Property's Favourite Review
From the minute I spoke to the owner Mandy to the minute I was dropped off at the airport, I was treated like a family member by everyone associated with At Heritage House. I spent a week last month here celebrating my 50th birthday, on my own. However, I felt very safe and looked after by Thea and her staff. They’ve arranged flowers, cake and a card for my birthday along with gifts from the management for my birthday. My room was excellent. It was spacious, immaculate, was cleaned every day. The outside area was beautifully set out with undercover seating for breakfast and a small pool. Pool towels are provided in the room as well. It is not far from the main road, where all the restaurants and shops are. What makes this fantastic accommodation fabulous is the manageress, Thea. She treats everyone like her family and takes time help the guests. I was on my own, she came with me every night to dinner and took me on Hippo hunt after. Thea also sells beautiful souvenirs at the property for very reasonable price. I feel that I now have a friend for life.

As a solo traveller, it is rare to find accomodation where you are made to feel welcome as if you are part of the family. This is what it felt like staying at Heritage House. The bed was incredibly comfortable, which was so needed after full days out on safaris. The bathroom was super huge as well. Thea, the manager often went the extra mile for her guests. An example of this, is on NEw Year's Day (1 January) when she provided lunch and dinner for the guests staying at Heritage House at the time, knowing that most restaurants and eateries in St Lucia were closed for the public holiday. There was also a supply of rusks, chocolates and muffins readily available for a nibble throughout the day. Breakfasts were ample and delicious.The cleaning and kitchen staff were very friendly too. The location is fantastic too-a short walk to cute souvenir shops and restaurants, and you might even be lucky enough to see a hippo taking an evening stroll on your way to dinner. I would be more than happy to stay at Heritage House again.

My friends and I spent 4 nights at this guesthouse in late December/early January. Thea made us feel right at home, and was always happy to help. She kept the kitchen well stocked with treats (loved the date balls), and we particularly appreciated the unexpected provision of lunch and dinner on New Year’s Day when basically everything else was shut. The house is comfortable, quiet, clean and well-located, just a block away from the main street. Nice to have inside (air-conditioned) and outside areas (by the pool) to spend a bit of down-time. Thank you Thea. I have posted a separate review on Heritage Tours with whom we arranged this accommodation.

We had a very pleasant stay at Heritage House. the room was comfortable and spacious.Breakfasts were good and many extras were provided at no extra cost - mini muffins, choc chip cookies, chocolates, fruit and fruit juice. Special mention - the guides for the river trip Brown was entertaining and knowledgeable and Jabu on the game drive was very knowledgeable and provided an excellent BBQ.

A very well appointed and comfortable B&B. From the first time we walked through the front door, we had been treated very well. Nothing was too much to ask for. Complementary tea, coffee, juice, cold bottled water and sherry were on offer alongside fresh fruit, home made cakes and biscuits.
The house manager Thea, runs a tight ship and ensures that nothing that a guest requires is left unattended.
Our room was spacious and comfortable with a large, well appointed en-suit bathroom and shower.
@Heritage House is well placed for restaurants and coffee shops - just walking distance.
There is a delightful addition to St Lucia and that is the frequent visit of a family of hippo in the town.

We booked the 4 day safari option which included 3 game drives, a boat ride near hippos, a visit to Cape Vidal beach and lots of yummy meals. The accomodation was very comfortable and we were within walking distance of the local shops and restaurants. The entire experience was very well organized. We learned a ton from our knowledgeable guides Jabu and Jon, who were both excellent at spotting many animal and bird species. Overall we highly recommend booking through Heritage! A++

This guest house is an absolute gem. Thea is so warm and welcoming and she adds so many little personal touches to a beautifully furnished, exceptionally comfortable establishment. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her and her staff. Breakfasts are freshly prepared to order. It’s an ideal place to come back to after visiting the area on day trips.

Heritage house was absolutely perfect, we stayed for 2 nights and our room was spotless and spacious with a big comfy bed and a large en suite. We were greeted with fresh fruit juice and were offered free cakes, cookies, fruit, water and sherry for our entire stay. The breakfast was very good. Thea and the other ladies went above and beyond and were so friendly. We couldn’t have asked for more and didn’t want to leave!

A gem of a bed and breakfast ideally situated for easy strolls to restaurants and shops.
Thea goes the extra mile to ensure that your stay is top notch. Rooms are spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable. The freshly cooked breakfast appear as if by magic adjacent to the pool. Staff are smiling and eager to please.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay - we will be back.

Thea gave us information about the breakdown times of engergie on our day of arrival via WhatApp.
She informed us all over the time. As guests from overseas we are not used to these shutdowns. Breakfast is fine, our room very spacious and clean. When we made a safaridrive by ourself, Thea gave us a coolerbox with some cold water.
We enjoyed our time in this B&B very much.
Thea thank you.
