Prudence
House has an interesting history. Formerly owned by Laura,
Duchess of Marlborough, in her autobiography she speaks fondly
of Prudence and "Randolph Churchill, to whom we lent
Prudence one year for Christmas when his health was failing,
'liked it very well' to use his own words."
LOCATION
Prudence is situated in a private road on the West Coast of
Barbados in the Parish of St James. It is set 150 yards from
the beach, accessible by footpath between the Colony Club
and Glitter Bay Hotels. The Coral Reef and the Royal Pavilion
are a few minutes walk along the beach and they all welcome
non-residents to their Beach Bar and Restaurant facilities.
Holetown is 3 minutes by car and Bridgetown is 20 minutes.
