Wonderful day out in Barbados - What a wonderful experience, it was raining at first, however the sun came out at perfect time.

Exceptional Jacobian Hse and working estate.Very tastefully portrayed to the highest standard. - Train experience, landscaping, beautiful Jacobian House and the fantastic quality rum.
The grounds are breathtaking, quality equipment with the train experience being the icing on the cake. Well done Simon along with your staff.
A classic experience of an age gone by.
Keep it going.
Kindest regards

Yep, do it. - Definitely worth the trip up north. Wrong side of the road, dodging potholes in a rental car that will never be the same. The train was magical too!

Friendly experience love the crew - My husband is a huge railroad fan. The crew on the railroad was the very best we have had. And we have rode a lot of trains. I can’t thank them enough for letting him ride in the engine. The prices on the rum to high and the food prices to high. The lady that gave us the tour of the house was amazing as well. And she was funny. Can’t wait for the expansion.

Good time - It was a fun experience. Very informative and the staff was friendly. Not really pointed out by anyone there but after the rum tasting if you stick around and just explore the property there is a windmill on the property you can look into and also a little platform that you can stand on top of. We happened to stumble upon it

Amazing. - The views was amazing. We had a ball of a time on the train. Only downside is that the train ride was too short. They are extending the rails, so soon the ride will be extended.

A very expensive experience - Whilst the train crew were engaging and the views of Cherry Tree Hill impressive, you can save yourselves a lot of money by simply driving to the same vantage point by going straight on up past the entrance. We were told it was a 40 minute train journey so thought the cost would be worth it, however, it was less than 10 minutes each way with nothing really to see until you reach the hill. Whilst you had the chance to pull the whistle on the train, which was fun for the kids, it felt incredibly expensive for what you get and personally for us not worth the cost.
