Tyrol Cot Heritage Village

Once the residence of Sir Grantley Adams, Barbados' inaugural prime minister, this heritage village stands as a testament to the island's rich history.

About

Built in 1854 and adorned with a unique blend of Palladian and tropical architectural styles, this colonial-era house within the Tyrol Cot Heritage Village has been meticulously restored by the Barbados National Trust. A living legacy of the Adams family, Tyrol Cot encompasses both the personal and political narratives of this influential lineage. The residence, an architectural gem constructed from coral stone cemented with egg whites, provides an immersive experience into the lives of Sir Grantley Adams and his son, J.M.G.M "Tom" Adams, who also became Prime Minister of Barbados. The interiors are adorned with original furniture, cherished memorabilia, and an extensive collection of books and artifacts that offer insights into the family's tastes, interests, and contributions to the island's development. Surrounding the main house, the Heritage Village showcases a delightful glimpse into old Barbadian life. A collection of charming Chattel Houses houses traditional craftsmen and artists, where visitors can purchase local crafts, ceramics, clothing, and art. The village also features a recreated slave hut and a blacksmith shop, reflecting the island's historical past. The house is open 8AM to 4PM Monday to Thursday, and closed Friday to Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
