st. nicholas abbey

这个地方去参观的人不多,让人有种历史悠久的种植园的感觉。服务员都很友善且富有知识,不可思议的20世纪40年代的电影短片又重现了这个地方。这里的建筑(很惋惜的是只有一楼对外开放,因为要考虑到墙体的结构稳定性,如果有太多人都爬上那个精美的楼梯去观赏楼上的7间我是的话,墙体结构可能支持不住)和花园都很纯净无暇。庭院里很安静,适合坐下来享受生活。很不巧的是我们去的时候蒸汽磨坊还未启动(只在12月到次年5月期间开磨),但是这完全不会影响它对我们的吸引力。

去圣尼可拉斯阿比教堂参观是我们在巴巴多斯旅游的一个很大亮点。我老公和我对于教堂的历史,建筑风格都很感兴趣。我们的导游非常耐心,非常敬业的回答我们的问题,比如如何让这座建筑保存的如此之完好。我们吃饭的时光也很愉快,边吃边聊,很棒!去我们的目的地的时候,是开车去的,很不错,能欣赏到沿途的风景,很壮观。我强烈建议来这个教堂看看!

我们每年冬季都会来参观圣尼古拉斯教堂,在这里可以把我酒瓶再次装满,见一些圣尼古拉斯教堂的熟人以及这里的主人,西门。每次来这里都很开心,总会发现一些之前没有见过的建筑细节和一些运作功能,很独特也很有趣。这所庄园很古老,但并不是博物馆。这里能让人体验到很久之前的生活(并没有太大的区别!),庄园里的正宗的财产和家具都体现出之前这个庄园主人的品味和兴趣。总是很有趣,强烈推荐这里。

大家好!捷克共和国已经开始下雪了,我现在回忆一下我游览圣尼古拉斯修道院的经历。在一个阳光明媚的早晨我参观了古老的种植园,当我在空荡荡的园中漫步时,我不禁想象着300年来这里的生活如何。那真是惬意的时刻,当然,别忘了喝一杯你的朗姆酒。我喜欢历史,在这里我也发现了很多有趣的信息。参观圣尼古拉斯修道院是我在巴巴多斯(拉丁美洲国家)很美好的时光,我很感谢这段时间。祝你生活愉快,事业有成!你诚挚的佩特拉巴考斯卡(Petra Bacovska)

这里真是太美了,历史悠久,保留万豪。外面有一对儿鹦鹉,一只叫“宝贝”,非常甜蜜。员工非常友好,只是丰富,花园极好,古老的洗手间(不对外开放),吊灯有400多年的历史了。(仅次于乌龟,非常古老)。制作朗姆酒的蒸馏炉非常有趣,这里的主人西蒙沃伦非常喜爱、珍视圣尼古拉斯修道院。关于修道院历史的电影非常有趣。我们已经去过几次了,如果我们在巴巴多斯的话,我们还是非常愿意回到这里的。绝对不容错过,强烈推荐。我们慢慢地品尝着我们买的酒-很棒! 乔&莫文埃文斯

Based on Trip Advisor reviews, we rented a car and drove from the Bridgetown cruise port to the St Nicholas Abbey and really enjoyed the $18/pp tour of this nicely restored sugar plantation. This was one of the historic highlights of our day long trip to Barbados and I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants to experience an old sugar plantation. You can sample the excellent rum and enjoy the tropical trees in the courtyard behind the plantation house. Don't miss the walk over to the old sugar millTip- turn left out of the plantation and visit Cherry Hill to view the beaches on the windward side of Barbados!

What a place ....steeped in history ...you must watch the video of the early settlers coming into Barbados from the uk ...fascinating ....building bricks from Bonnybridge in Scotland were used for ballast on the tall ships , then unloaded , and used around the Abbey for paths ....amazing connection ..

The abbey is well worth the trip. There were a few highlights from watching the cane being crushed to listening to the guide talk us through the downstairs rooms of the main house to watching the interesting film from the 1930s. They have also converted the stables to make a nice spot for a drink or lunch.The only bit that could be improved would be to have a bit more information about the rum distilling process rather than be told how much we can buy the bottles of rum for (the answer is they are very expensive!). It would also be nice to see other parts of the building but I am not sure if they have been restored.

A specialty rum distiller and plantation. Beautiful set up - the stable turned into a key building was especially nice - as was the terrace area. Maureen gave a very nice tour and went out her way to see that we got to see everything despite the last tour already had begun. Recommend visiting this - only wish I could have had a moonlight dinner there but we were heading home that day! Thanks

They will etch your bottle while you wait and the rum is oh so smooth. Grounds are beautiful and the drive is too.

I can truly recommend this place! It's an oasis in Barbados and turning left leaving the place an incredible view is waiting for you. Take the tour and watch the hilarious movie about the distillery's history. We had lunch here. As a dietician, it was hard finding something nutritious (as all over Barbados since all food is either white or yellow/fried). Also, make sure you order in time (1 hour or so before closing) as you will get the evil eye if you're late.

We went here on advice of some people we met on a catamaran. It was a cool drive up to the plantation from Bridgetown neat steep roads to get to the special house. If you brush by you can get through in 10 min but if you look around at the history and show some interest you can spend a couple of hours. There is a 1/2 hour film that is extraordinary from the early days awesome!!. The grounds a are well kept and we even had the pleasure of meeting the owner Simon, awesome guy who gave us a sample of some of the best rum I have ever tasted(like fine cognac). The guides gave a very informative tour of the house which gave a great history perspective. I would highly recommend this trip/tour.

The house is gorgeous and our guide provided us with a lot of helpful information but we felt a little rushed because we showed up close to closing (3pm). Go early if you want to take your time. The rum was delicious.

The House is interesting but in five minutes you have seen all. The surrounding are very restful and the punch they offer delicious.

As a tour professional and a guide I am a rather hard critic of tours I attend. We had an excellent tour of the 17th century house and rum making facilities today. There is also a wonderful film from 1930s home movies that is narrated by the former owner - great visuals and his storyline is well detailed and really quite humorous. Our guide was both enthusiastic and excellent and the tour was full of interesting and nuanced history. Of course, impossible to complain about the included rum punch and tasting of the aged rums.The Abbey only sells rum on site and it is a special product. You can have the bottle engraved and, as a bonus, if you return with the empty they will refill at half price!
