A Vacation Like No Other - You Will Not Want to Leave!

If you are planning to visit the East shores of Jamaica this is where you should stay! Hopie (the outstanding cook at the farm) is a great person, always has a smile and cooks the most delicious food. Everyday we enjoyed different Jamaican recipes. The farm house is very spacious with 15foot ceilings. The dinning table on the outside varanda is one of the most pleasant places I have ever enjoyed a meal. Fantastic breeze and full views of the Caribbean ocean. The two bathrooms are spacious and recently renovated. The house has several board games - we played Clue nearly every evening. Be paciente with the roads and Jamaican traffic but that’s part of the experience. The farm is only 45min from famous Frenchman’s Cove. Come and enjoy a very beautiful and relaxing experience in Jamaica at the 1912 farmhouse!

This property is a most wonderful place to enjoy Portland, Jamaica. Portland is like no other parish on the island. Staying at Darlingford Farm allows one to get to better know the area and its people. The home is steeped in local history and you feel in when stay there. After returning home from our second stay we once again realize how grateful we are to have stayed. It's truly like no other. A stay at Darlingford will create memories that will surely last a lifetime.

As frequent homeaway users we appreciate detailed reviews so I will try to be as honest and detailed as possible.

I wish I could give 5 stars alone to Hopeton the cook. He was truly a blessing. He got all the groceries on my list and cooked our specific meals as requested. He is a fabulous cook! He is what made this home experience so memorable.

On another note, the house itself is old but I don't think old has to mean dirty. The bathrooms were nicely remodeled but the bedrooms were not clean. The beautiful antique furniture was very dusty and the ceiling fans were filthy! The veranda is definitely the highlight of this home. The views are breathtaking. I felt the house was dirty for my taste so we spent most of our time, while home, on the veranda.

If you're looking for a totally private experience be aware that construction workers and helpers are very present around the grounds and in the kitchen. One such individual would come out on the veranda while we were enjoying conversation and the scenery and just linger looking at the view. It was a little awkward.

We are dog lovers but just be aware there are several dogs on the property.

Even with prior driver arrangements having been confirmed for our stay we still encountered transportation issues upon arrival. Our driver showed up at the airport in a dilapidated, unsafe vehicle. The tires were bald, seats were torn and no air conditioning. We had to make other arrangements on the spot to get to the house. Apparently their vehicle was being serviced. Every day was a little stressful not knowing which car or driver we were going to have. Though it worked out ok, it wasn't the smooth experience we expected given our prearrangement.

Again we cannot say enough about Hopeton the cook who treated us so nicely and who's cooking could rival any chef!!

It was perfect

Very beautiful property. Comfortable
