Blue Mountain Coffee

The Daily Telegraph - April 2006

Strawberry Hill

" Where should I stay? The best place is Strawberry Hill - an elegant, plantation-style hiltop hideaway that makes a perfect base for coffee expeditions."

" A hotel I presume? Yes, 12 Georgian cottages to be exact and a lot more besides. It was once the home of Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records. It's where Bob Marley convalesced after being shot and where U2 relaxed in between recording sessions and saving the world."

" Now after my early morning dip in the infinity pool, is there any other coffee business to enjoy? There are coffee candles on sale in the hotel shop, pork loin with Blue Mountain Coffee glaze to try in the restaurant, and there is even talk of a coffee scrub in the Aveda Spa."
