Winter in the Sun: Barbados from £237


Barbados isn’t all Sandy Lane and multi-million-pound villas; renting or sharing an apartment with family or friends is a way in which a holiday on the Caribbean island can fall into the holiday budget of mere mortals!
Here is a selection of properties from Hammerton Barbados which, when coupled with flights bought outside of the peak season, make a holiday on this colourful island a reality for everyone.
