Woodside

Woodside (US$300/400/500 for three/four/five bedrooms, minimum two-night stay) is a beautiful, staffed, colonial house on a 12-hectare coffee farm located about 1.5 kilometers past Newcastle just below Hardwar Gap and Holywell National Park. Woodside is a stylish base for hiking in the park, bird-watching, and exploring the western reaches of the Blue Mountains. The house is impeccable in its old-Jamaica feel and boasts spectacular views, gardens, and a spring-fed pool. There is no better place for a cool escape during Jamaica’s hottest months or for a relaxing retreat with friends and family any time of year.
