Lodger i Crochu

Fernando USA

We loved our stay! It’s a beautiful property and Ingrid has lovely gardens all throughout filled with flowers, spices, herbs, and fruits. Our room was very cozy and came with an amazing view. we had access to a shared kitchen so that we could cook or keep things fresh and got to meet some cool people that were also staying on the property as well as us. We normally search the streets for food, but based on other peoples reviews, we decided to try out Ingrid’s restaurant, and for sure we were not disappointed. We did it for three nights, and on the first night she made us a coconut rice with sweet-and-sour fish and some mixed vegetables, as well as callaloo soup. On the second night, we had an oil down which is a national dish and on the third night we had some Tuna, potatoes, and mix vegetables, along with a salad. I learned about and enjoyed at least four new ingredients through her cooking. If you’re able, talk to Ingrid and schedule a dinner. (lunch and breakfast available too)Ask her to show you her garden! Be prepared for smaller shops with limited items. Maybe do your shopping in St. George’s before coming up. Mount Caramel waterfall and the seven sisters waterfall were worthwhile experiences. There are some guides at the seven sisters waterfall which you don’t have to use but they are knowledgeable and it helps to have a local show you where and how you can go about hiking swimming or jumping into the river pools . *tip them* Hope beach was a gem that we learned about from one of the locals. It was private and had plenty of space and the water was nice and easy to walk out into. there is a local bar restaurant and resort right around the corner from Ingrids that you can go to, and order some fantastic drinks and enjoy the great view. Ask any local for directions and they’ll be happy to help you. Such friendly people everywhere we went. 10/10 experience. Many thanks to Mrs. Ingrid for such a wonderful stay!!
