Bogles Round House

We had a wonderful three night stay at this gorgeous little place. We walked or minibused it everywhere. Bogles is totally perfect for complete relaxation. We were sad to miss Roxanne’s cooking as the restaurant isn’t open Sunday to Wednesday so we’ll have to come back 🙂

Bogles is a few miles north of Hillsborough. It is served by number 10, and 11 bus. 10 goes directly to Hillsborough if you take the bus going south, for 3ECD per person. The Round House has three cottage rooms adjacent to the restaurant, for rent. The largest sits above the owners house and commands a fine view from the balcony. Plum is adjacent and Mango has two singles, and is closest to the sea. Rooms come with breakfast, but the restaurant only serves outsiders evening meals. Booking is advisable, food is amongst the top half dozen decent restaurants across the island. Good fresh food menus change frequently, and theme nights are popular Of the three cottages, and we stayed in Plum, a double with ensuite bathroom, toilet, small kitchen with gas hob and oven, sink and fridge, kettle toaster, plus a seating area on a veranda overlooking the garden and sea. Carriacou does not have the water Grenada benefits from high rainfall and mountains. So this means water is either from rain water collection and or desalinized water is bought in. The bed room, kitchen and balcony has ten three pin sockets, so no converters required for UK travellers. Air conditioning in the room plus netted windows in the bedroom, and a fan. Cleaner comes daily, but we would have preferred our own brush to be a bit more self sufficient. The gardens have a range of flowers and attract butterflies, black greckles, and hummingbirds, small green and blue lizards. Brown pelicans can been seen diving for fish. The paths through the woods often have goats grazing, and the odd cattle, but they are all well mannered and keep out of your way. Locals have pet dogs, most are lab crosses, small friendly dogs that sleep most of the time, again they do not bother anyone. Chickens also roam freely, in the neighbours gardens, as do many goats eating grass, but they are fenced off from Bogles gardens.

We stayed at Bogle’s Roundhouse for a week in July and we enjoyed every minute! The cottage was very clean, the water pressure in the shower was excellent, the beds were comfy, and the wifi connection was fast and uninterrupted—what more can you ask? But the icing on the cake was Roxanne’s culinary skills! The menu is varied enough that even if you eat there every day, the menu never gets boring. Some of our favourite dishes were callaloo soup, pumpkin soup, crispy shrimp tempura, grilled shrimp, seafood chowder, pan roasted chicken, chicken tikka, grilled fish with an Asian sauce, and grilled barracuda and, for dessert, lime tart, chocolate fondant and home made caramel and salt ice cream… Roxanne has a nice selection of wines at a very reasonable price… this is our second stay at Bogles, but not our last. Highly recommended!

Stayed there for 4 nights. The Mango cottage was average, it would have been wonderful if everything there related to a Mango theme! The bedroom was comfortable expecially the A/C - made to a pleasant rest. The kitchen was clean but 'tired' there was also a cooker, but no gas clinder to operate, thanks for the amazing breakfasts thought since the restaurant was closed until further notice. The bathroom and shower were fine with constant hot water, but there were 2 round holes left open and the mosquitos, bugs, flies, lizards, were constanly in the bathroom, I had to cover the biggest hole with a towel! The gardens were the best colouful and maintained, at night there were no lights in and around the resort a hazard if you are there alone! Listening to the sea was amazing. THE BEST BY FAR was the HOUSEKEEPER the reason to go back! 😃 😊 Second Best......The local people very welcoming 🙏 FINALLY........Host thanks for the long ride back to town.

Beautiful place to stay. Wonderful breakfast and very helpful owner and staff. They might want to sell water as well as soda and beer. There is a store down the street but if you want to have dinner you need to go into town. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.

I ate several times at Bogles Round House Restaurant during my visit to Carriacou and was never disappointed. The ribs were succulent. I loved the string sweet potato she puts on the fish and shrimp. Her salads are delicious with touches of mango. The callaloo soup was creamy and so tasty. The coconut crusted shrimp was just perfect with the dipping sauce. Oh...and the homemade bread...just delicious. Once in Carriacou you must eat here at least once. The restaurant is cute and really unique. The prices are more than reasonable and the owner and staff are so absolutely friendly but professional.

What a charming getaway. Off the beaten path, but close enough to everything. The food is excellent, and the service commendable. Waking up to the sound of the waves, and the chirping off the birds is a wonderful departure from the honking of horns or loudness of people. You feel like you’re alone in the Garden of Eden, without numerous people milling around.

I loved my stay at the Bogles Roundhouse. I loved the unpretentious elegance of the place, the tranquility of it location on the bay, and its host, Roxanne, is fabulous. The cottage we stayed in impressed me with its effective, efficient design and was absolutely comfortable. Take advantage of the beautiful grounds to meditate in the morning and enjoy spectacular sunsets in the evening. Breakfast by Roxanne, highly recommended. Definitely will be a go to should I again need accommodations in Carriacou.
