10/10! Would recommend. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us so much of his time as we were the only people there. Their gin and rum is honestly some of the best I’ve had. They really know what they are doing and it shows in their products.

Changed our travel plans and took a taxi just to find the place closed when their website said they would be open. Wasted time and money for nothing.

Don't go here, it's closed. Obviously they are not able to share their actual opening hours on their own website. That's remarkable bad customer service.

Brilliant experience- Ollie was informative and passionate about the gins/rums produced. Got to taste the new Xmas gin which was an unexpected bonus. Can thoroughly recommend.
