Forres Park Nature Retreat
Hva gjestene sier
The four poster bed was lovely and the building had an olde-wordly feel with lots of dark wood and antique furniture. The first floor balcony looking out over the garden and towards the Blue Mountains was our favourite place to relax. There's a hammock and a table and chair for journal-writing and birdwatching. We saw hummingbirds and a green parrot. We walked into the nearby town of Mavis Bank to stock up on water, snacks etc. It is not a picture postcard place but the local people were friendly and welcoming and we had enjoyed some good jerk chicken from the restaurant (up the red steps) and very reasonably priced Red Stripe from the little shop ($250 JMD for a 341ml bottle). The breakfast was delicious with Blue Mountain coffee and a choice between bacon and eggs or a traditional Jamaican breakfast (ackee and saltfish was delicious). Charmaine is such a friendly and welcoming host. We enjoyed visiting our guide Deano's smallholding and swimming in the river.

Set in woodland, this lovely old property was full of charm and character. The surrounding lush vegetation attracted lots of hummingbirds including mango and swallowtails, making this a birdwatchers paradise. The room was very comfortable and substantial, and we had use of a lounge area which opened to an impressive balcony. Most memorable however was the adorable manager, who was also housekeeper and chef, and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and look after all our needs. With nothing to treat mosquito bites from a previous stop, she even went into nearby Mavis Bank town to buy some antihistamine. She also organised transport and a guide for our hike to the Blue Mountain peak.

Bird watching from your private terrace: spotted all must-see-birds earlu mornings. Fantastic Jamaican breakfast & diner (!). A private tour for the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee factory on walking distance was organised by our host. Super super!

Charmaine was extremely helpful with organizing a bird trip and answering our questions about the coffee factory tour. She is also an excellent cook and has a lovely personality. She made us feel very welcome.
