The location and the viee to the mountains.

“Dr Bird heaven !!!”

It was an older style property which I love and not too big. It was great to eat outside and watch the birds. Didn’t mind the cats begging for food they just added character to the place. You don’t even need the tv’s in the room, was happy to listen to the wildlife outside. The lady who looked after us was friendly and welcoming, thank you Charmaine 😍 would love to come here again

“I recommend that you should stay here.”

Very nice hotel, comfortable , quiet, inside the nature, good service and communication, helpful reception.

“Bird watching, Blue Mountain coffee and superv Jamaican food”

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!

“Relaxing days in a beautiful, tranquil place surrounded by nature.”

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.

“I want to go back 😫”

Food was great

“Amazing personal, breakfast and dinner at terace, jungle view from top room”

“Really enjoyed the quiet getaway”

Food was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient.

“A friendly place to lay your head in the mountains”

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.

“Beautiful nature, not many hiking options”

Very friendly host, who comes up with suggestions on what to do. Coffee factory that you can visit at walking distance. Very big room and nice porch where you can relax. Beautiful nature, easy to spot the doctor bird. It is possible to eat Jamaican breakfast.

“Great staff, very accommodating, and would stay here due to them. Food was great. The Blue Mountain trek was a phenomena”

Staff, location

“A most pleasant surprise, Forres Park was one of the highlights of our Jamaican road trip.”

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.

“Lovely nature experience for a day or two.”

The surrounding nature with many birds, good breakfast, beautiful rooms with balconies, very peaceful.
