Fairview Great House & Botanical Gardens

Did the history tour and culinary experience. We highly recommend this as the chefs were awesome! Lots to look at here. Grounds to explore and a swimming pool, if you come prepared.

Visited as part of an excursion. Beautiful house and gardens and the BBQ and drinks were delicious. Why hadn't I heard of Pearsecco before!

Quick visit (~30 min) as part of a bus tour. Beautiful great house and grounds.

So glad we visited here! Such beautiful gardens and a very interesting house. The information throughout the house was clear and informative. However, the slave exhibition in the basement of the house was, for me, the most impressive feature. It was very well presented, offered great detail and although incredibly sad, an amazing presentation of such important and pertinent information. We visited out of the main season so some of the 'attractions' such as cooking presentations and the gift shop were closed. We didn't use the swimming pool or bar, but they looked very clean and appealing. Signs on the road to show which turning to take were non-existent (well we didnt see any) and the road leading up to the house was extremely treacherous / so bumpy and uneven. This is my 4th time in St kitts and I have never even heard of this house before - I discovered it by chance. I am so surprised that it is not more well advertised as a tourist attraction, as it is most certainly worth a visit.

This was superb. We booked it as a tour from our cruise. The house was lovely, with gorgeous views and gardens; thehistory was really interesting; the rum tasting was generous and enjoyable and our guide, Doreen, entertaining and lovely. The rum isn't expensive (although it's supposedly a bit cheaper at the port) so worth buying here, as it keeps the museum going.

Had a fantastic time at the Fairview Guest house on St Kitts today (23 Feb)! Queen Sheba provided us with a fantastic rundown of rum on the island and a bit of history of the Guest House, which was built in the 1700s. Highly recommend you check it out! Well worth the time and money!

We had a lovely cooking and rum tasting tour here. Such a lovely selection of rum we had to take home a couple bottles. We really enjoyed the cooling demonstration and tasting too. A little time exploring the gardens and the buildings and a short time relaxing by the pool was a great way to spend the morning. Very glad we chose this excursion from our Celebrity cruise while we were in port.

Had a great time looking around the great house. The history is super interesting. Of course for us the Rum tasting was the main event. Doreen was awesome. Really funny and engaging. Highly recommend.
