A devoted and highly informed guide takes you through both a well-preserved masterpiece of colonial architecture and a slice of Jamaican history. Wonderful view of Falmouth and the sea beyond.

If you like history that's the must to visit! Very nice guide told us a lot of interesting facts! Beautiful garden and the best sea view.

Loved viewing this house. It had many of its original pieces and in particular my favourite was the pink room! The staff were great and it wasn’t busy at all (we went on a Sunday at 2pm) so our tour was personalized as we were the only guests there. It was very well preserved and the tour guide was informative. We also purchase tickets upon arrival which was nice as I was worried we would have to book in advance. Overall 10/10. Beware the car-ride up was very bumpy but still safe.
