Description:
|
Built in the 1940's by the Duke of Marlborough, Drambuie Estate
is a slice of old Jamaica when lively drawing room conversation
and gracious service ruled the day in an extraordinary private
setting. Today this remarkable hideaway retains many exquisite
original features plus contemporary amenities of air conditioned
bedrooms, cable televisions and Internet access ~ the best of
both worlds from two centuries.
Drambuie is exquisitely furnished with Chinese rugs,
original art, 1930's French posters, carved sculpture from Jamaica,
England, China and Africa; Chippendale and Queen Anne treasures
which are complemented by casual wicker verandah furnishings.
A few steps across a grassy lawn are the large pool, umbrella
tables and shaded luncheon pavilion.
The legendary Mr. P has worked at Drambuie for four
decades. By 7:00 each morning, he opens the tall French doors
and serves throughout the day with classic grace and style. Chef
Nicoy indulges Drambuie guests in many specialties including Seafood
Royale (fish, lobster and shrimp in cream sauce), Quesadillas,
Roti, Lobster Thermador, Sweet & Sour Pork, Key Lime Pie,
Banana Pudding, Crepes ~ and artistic presentation at every meal,
served on Wedgwood bone china. The night view from the dinner
table is incredible, beautiful beyond words.
Cut stone walls brought from England 200 years ago
as ship's ballast comprise the 18-inch walls of the Main House.
Vaulted ceilings are 16 feet high. Floors are cool tiles from
England, Mexico and South America. The Main House consists of
the Great Room with 100-year old pool table, large screen television,
VCR and sound system; inlaid games table for chess, checkers or
backgammon; and comfortable sitting area. French doors open to
a 330' wrap-around stone verandah furnished with al fresco dining
tables, wicker sitting area, tempting hammock and lawn leading
to the pool. Through tall mahogany doors is the large master bedroom
suite. Also in this building are the powder room, butler's pantry
and kitchen.
A tiled path leads 30 feet from the Main House to
The Cottage. Here are three more bedrooms which can be connecting
for parents and children or kept private via locking doors. A
furnished verandah fronts The Cottage. Nine steps down from The
Cottage is the fifth bedroom, an intimate hideaway for two.
The Drambuie staff are delighted to take guests
on property tours to explain how the estate operates and to point
out the many varieties of tropical flora, fauna and birds that
thrive here.
Drambuie's staff and owners love their dogs, free
to run the property if you wish. They are calm, friendly and gentle
with children. On request, the dogs can be kept in their large
fenced yard all day during your vacation.
