The Property & Accommodation

The House

Four self-catering cottages set across six hundred acres of tropical gardens.

— The Great House

A legacy of Jamaican elegance, preserved through the ages.

Your Home in the Hills

Once a thriving 600-acre plantation of bananas and coffee, Dalkeith Great House has been lovingly preserved and transformed into an exclusive retreat. Formerly the home of celebrated television personality Ken Maxwell, it is now a small, friendly guest house just ten minutes from Mandeville town.

Four self-catering cottages with private entrances offer comfort and independence — recommended for writers and persons seeking inner peace, high in the cool Manchester hills.
