Lovely villa, very private. All the staff were very friendly, kind and helpful. We all enjoyed this family friendly holiday and loved the pool. Villa and grounds are beautiful and with just a short walk to the beach it was perfect.
Best holiday ever. Would love to come back, holds a lot of good memories for us all.

We have enjoyed our stay, the staff have been absolutely tremendous and we have enjoyed their company. The Gambian experience is a must. (March '10)

Brilliant transfer with cold Julbrew in hand, back of landrover, blowing the 'cobwebs' of all left behind. Beautiful villa - well placed within Brufut for peace & quiet away from the 'touristy' places but within easy access for them if necessary.
Staff very helpful with any requests and advice.
Good visitors book should you want any tips on restaurants/bars/trips.
Recommended if want the true 'Gambian Experience' with abit of luxury!!! (March '10)

Hi there, all I can say is its not nice to be back. The villa was great & think i should move in and look after it for you. The staff were great. Thank you for a lovely holiday.( Feb '10)

The villa exceeded any expectations we had. The pool was fantastic, both in size and cleanliness. Coupled with the sun terrace used at night for coffee and views the Villa exterior was to be enjoyed. It is therefore great to be able to state the interior was even better; the sitting and sleeping areas offered a real laid back spacious feeling that added to the holiday. Outside we were a short walk to our own beach bar run by William, a local guy who could not do enough for us. A short walk south and we were drinking iced coffee in the Sheraton Hotel, a slightly longer walk north and we were in the Senegambia strip for lunch. We even cycled back from Kotu and the guys collected our bikes from the villa that evening for a total cost of 150 Delaisis. The locals seemed to recognise the fact we were not hotel based and we were treated with a lot of respect, none of the regular hassle experienced outside hotels and great deals on Taxis. Having stayed in Kiaraba, Senegambia , Kombo and Bungalow beach during my 12 previous visits to the Gambia i am genuinely shocked to report this was my best visit ever to the Gambia.    (Dec '09)

We had a fab time at your villa and really enjoyed the company of all the staff. We will be keeping in touch with them. They all worked hard but we liked it best when we all chilled out in the shade and chatted. It was my friend's first trip to the Gambia and she is definitely going back, she really enjoyed the company of the staff.

Thanks for everything and we may be contacting you again in the future. I hope the staff felt relaxed with us.

Best wishes and kind regards,

Sharon, Daphne and Alieu.   

We all had a fabulous time and really enjoyed our stay at the Kerr of Sabal.  Haggis and his crew were friendly and also very helpful.  Your villa will be recommended to all of our friends. (October 09)

Anyway we had an fantasic vacation in the villa. The house is great and Haggis, Isatoe and Junior were fantastic people.
You ever have tryed the bbq from Junior? Fantastic!!!! ! The pool also was very fine. We had the time of our life. A few times rain but  thats
normal for the time of year.
We even find a taxidriver (local) who know the villa now and is much cheaper then the tourist taxi. It is a very reliable taxi
and de chauffeur will bring you evrywere you like.
He drives very carefully and we don't have too wait for more than 15 minutes till he arrives.( we put the number in the book). 
We defenetly want to come back too the villa. (June/July 2009)

Silvia and Peter Verhagen - Holland.

The holiday was great and the villa is fantastic - even better than it looks on the internet.  Everyone was really friendly and helpful too. 

In fact, was hoping you'd be able to do me a favour - Nikki has promised to ship out a huge wooden carving we bought (like you're african man with antelope but bigger!) and I don't think we have his phone number.  Also, I know Haggis is hoping to come visit you this summer.  We told him he'd be more than welcome for a weekend in brighton - just wanted to pass on that that's a genuine offer in case he worries about contacting us.

We went to Lamin lodge on one day and then to see Charlie the Croc which was a good day.  Haggis's uncle took us out fishing on a boat down at the beach which was great.  The best meal was the barbecue that haggis did with the fish we caught. (May'09)

Helen & John - Brighton.

Steve and Amanda, fantastic couple who designed and had built this absolutely, fantastic villa. From the beautiful swimming pool to having breakfast on the roof terrace (breakfast will never be like that again), the interior layout as my daughters said " superbly divine". The birdlife in the garden and the lizards and saw my first for gambia a small chameleon, laying by the pool surrounded by flowers every colour you can think of, bannana trees, so many fruit trees . Then to the very kind and caring staff who want to help your holiday in any way they can, we as a family cannot speak highly enough of this Villa/the staff/ the owners. (April '09)

Mal & family

We found the villa very well appointed, spacious, clean, comfortable and a great base for enjoying the Gambia, allowing us to dip into excursions when we felt like it, and also letting us benefit from the seclusion of patio, pool and terrace in the warm sun when we just wanted to have time and space by ourselves.

Thanks so much for organising the villa package in such a thoughtful and helpful way.  And the staff were terrific, especially Haggis, who is an absolute gem. (March '09) 

Vijay and Jeannie, London.

On behalf of my Family, I would like to thank you very much for the use of your lovely Villa. Just what the doctor ordered, very relaxing, the right location. Everything about it was excellent.

As my wife is Gambian, it was very easy for us to communicate with the helpers at the villa. All of them are very kind and very hard working. Ida was wonderful and she is a big asset to your villa.  (Feb 09)

David & family, Luton, Beds

What a holiday! Just fabulous, the area and position of the villa in brufut was spot on, right alongside the gambian people.

Within hours we had made friends with many and their children, such nice people.

Over the road to the beach, which we called PARADISE, within mins of arriving there, the guys working the bar etc. could not do enough for us and we were instantly taken as friends. Not over used the beach but who cares-just great.

Evening time 7.00pm, picked up and taken to Sengambia for the evening to eat etc.

Plenty of good places to eat, we found food very good. We could go on forever about the Gambia and at the end of our week we all agreed it was probably the best holiday we have had. Even the goats were our friends!!

Thanks to the staff at the villa, very nice and helpful people.

One of the highlights was when we were welcomed at the local school and spent some time with teachers and pupils, unbelievable.

Where do you start the staff are great and make sure you have everything you need,they also make sure you are safe.The villa is lovely better than we expected,and in the morning you can see and hear the birds around the little pond.The swimming pool is so worth it when you have been out shopping .We had a really good 2 weeks and were well looked after by the staff and cannot wait to go back.

Thank you very much Steve+Amanda and Family for letting us use your villa for our family holiday. (Oct 08)

Wayne, Sarah and family, Staffs, England

To let you know we really enjoyed our month's stay at your villa. Everything was perfect, the villa is beautifully decorated and has everything anyone would need, it was heaven laying by the pool surrounded by the gorgeous flowers and listening to the birds.

The staff are amazing, they are all a credit to you and added so much enjoyment to our holiday. A special thankyou for Haggis, the manager, Sey (spelling???) the day watchman/pool guy and the cleaner Ida for helping to make our stay magical.

Will definitely recommend Kerr of Sabal to others and hope to return again soon. (Jan 09)
