Prior to arrival my only communication was with Rosemary by email several times. She was responsive, timely and a great communicator. We arrived in POS after12MN. My family and I did not reach the Gingerbread House until nearly 1AM. I was worried at first as we pulled up in a cab. We rang the "after 10PM" buzzer and Rosemary greeted... more

My husband and I were in Port of Spain for a few days in May /June2008. Having stayed at the Gingerbread House previously in 2003 we were interested to see if the place was as nice as we remembered or our nostalgia for T&T had tweaked our memory of the place into something more than it really was. Well it’s... more

When our family arrived at the Gingerbread House (at midnight!), we received a warm welcome from Rosemary. The rooms were clean, spacious and nicely decorated. Each morning we were treated to a delicious breakfast prepared by Bernadette. We would visit with Rosemary & Bernadette, hearing the stories of the island of Trinidad. The pool was refreshing, warm and clean. The... more

My girlfriend and I booked 2 nights after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor. It was a little pricier than my orginal budget had allowed but it was worth it. This is a lovely home and the refreshing "pool" in the tranquil, beautifully landscaped backyard, was worth every cent after a hot dusty day in Port of Spain. Rosemary and Bernard... more

On arrival there was a mix up. It would appear I told Rosemary the wrong dates! I am a little slow with some of these things. Anyhow, we stayed in the side room downstairs. A lovely room. With AC and two single beds that join together. The gingerbread house is a beautiful place to stay, it is a stunning building,... more

We had a very welcome and comfortable Easter weekend stay at the Gingerbread House. The charming house is well located near the center of the city and within walking distance of attractions and good restaurants. The level of service (travel advice, tickets) and accommodation was higher than expected. The rear garden pool area was a real treat. The Gingerbread House... more

We went to Trinidad for the Carnival and were pleased to stay with Rosemary and Bernard at Gingerbread. The location is right in Woodbrook and the Carnival passes the end of the road. Be warned though if you go at Carnival time its very, very noisy, we felt slightly out of place. Everything local is within easy walking distance and... more

What can I say, it was fantastic. We arrived on 16th April, to be greeted by Rosie and her husband Bernard. After being shown to our room we were invited to join them on the veranda for a drink. After leaving the UK and 2 inches of snow, a less than enjoyable flight with BWIA and arriving to temperatures in... more
