Our History
Sweetfield Manor was not always the romantic, luxury hotel you see today. It was originally a plantation house harking back to the days when sugar production was a large part of Barbadian life. The original building was renovated to accommodate vacationing guests and subsequent improvements have transformed it into the charming boutique hotel we are proud to have today.
It was built in the early 1900s by the Danish Virgin Islander, Waldemar Hansche ll, founder of the shipping business known as Hanschelllnniss. The Danes were not widely known as colonists, but during the first half of the 17th Century they established small tropical colonies in Asia and on the west coast of Africa and subsequently turned to the West lndies. Mr Hanschell married Miss Amy Manning and also built Rudkip, the house next door to Sweetfield Manor, for his brother, and the mirrored image of Sweetfield Manor.
More recently Sweetfield Manor was owned by Judge and Mrs Blackman and was known as ‘Beau Lieu’ (Beautiful Place). lt was sold by Judge and Mrs Blackman in 2002 and underwent renovations to transform it into what is now called Sweetfield Manor Historic Bed and Breakfast. lt has been visited by dignitaries and guests from all over the world as part of The Barbados National Trust Open House Tour in both 2005 and again in January 2009.
