Great visit Wonderful afternoon tasting rums and making our own at the Rum School. Staff were really friendly and knowlegeable, they provided help when needed and explained everything very clearly. A few other couples enjoying the same experience and all of them said how good it was.

Very enjoyable A thoroughly enjoyable visit, when you arrive there's a nice little coffee shop so you can sit and relax with your coffee while the excellent knowledgeable (ours was Dan) tells you the interesting history of gin and rum. We then went into the actual distillery and bottling rooms where Sam took over to explain the process in great detail. We then finished off in the tasting room which was great fun trying different gins and rums and a drink of choice. I thoroughly recommend this tour.

Knowledgeable, Passionate Guides, Fabulous Gin and Rum This was a present from our boys. The whole process from booking through to the actual day was very smooth. The tour and tasting was brilliant. Our guides are obviously knowledgeable and passionate about the processes and products they make. The gin and rum tasting was informative and tasted great - we learnt lots. Both were absolutely fabulous and we duly bought some for ourselves and Christmas presents too.Would most definitely recommend this.We really want to go back to create our own gin at some point.

Great informative tour and the gins and rums were amazing!! Great informative tour, and lots of great gins and rums and it was really good that we got the choice of both in the tastings. I will say the only thing which maybe would have been better was when we had the first talk with the presentation in the cafe area the music was left on and this made it difficult to hear the guy talking, and if someone had a hearing impairment this would have been very difficult for them. Overall the tour and the rums and gins were fantastic!!
