Greenwood Great House

A very different and more personal experience at Greenwood bringing to life the family who owned it and the people who worked there. Many fascinating items and rooms to see. The guided tour was great. If driving, take the road near a fuel station as it's the most direct and has least pot holes

Beautiful home. So much history and well maintained. Lovely grounds. A real pleasure to visit. Excellent tour guide!

Really enjoyed the guided tour with Diana (Dee). She answered all of our questions. We even got to chat with the owner Mr. Betton. Even got refreshment from Ms. Patricia. Very intimate and amazing history!

Greenwood is one is the best preserved examples of the plantation era Jamaican Great House. Magnificent hilltop location, with wide view of the Caribbean sea. Built in late 1700s by Richard Bennett. Most of the items are authentic: furniture, antique china and silverware, crystals, oil paintings and Barrett family memorabilia, rare musical instruments, intact original library (with up to 300 books, some dated as early as 1697.) Worth a visit! Strongly recommended.

Great tour and great experience! The historical value of all the artifacts in this house is impressive! The guide was very knowledgeable and took her time with our kids. I think the only thing missing in the tour would be a moment, or sector of the tour, really dedicated to the life of the slaves in themselves, how they lived, what was their days like, etc. So to balance the opulence of the house with the actual reason they could be in such luxury by having slaves working for them. Otherwise I really recommend it it’s a different side of Jamaica different from just the fun beaches and falls.

Five stars if you are a history buff. This gives a lot of background in history on this side of the island. A lot of the furniture is from the 1600s. Entrance fee is $25 if you purchase it at the venue.

Excellent tour - loved the guide's style - sharing anecdotes as well as large amounts of historical information. Blown away by the beauty of the entrance...a padlocked gate almost overgrown by plants. And view from the verandah almost enough to justify a visit on its own. Don't forget your camera.

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.
