Originally an 18th century sugar plantation, Ottley's
Plantation Inn is located on 35 lush acres at the foothills of
Mt. Liamuiga. With its rolling green lawns and spectacular ocean
view, tropical gardens, nearby black sand beach and rainforest
with cobbled paths, mango trees and green monkeys, the plantation
has been renovated and restored in the English colonial style,
with an ambiance that transports guests to a bygone era of
gracious living, hospitality and elegance.
An AAA 4-Diamonds award winner, Ottley's Plantation Inn was also
selected as "The Best Hotel in the Caribbean" in the
Rum & Reggae, a guidebook published by Villard Books/Random
House, and has received rave reviews from US magazines such as
Conde Nast Traveler, Food & Wine, Travel & Leisure and in
the UK by The London Times, Country Living and The Daily
Telegraph for the fine cuisine available at its Royal Palm
Restaurant.
With 15 rooms overall, the plantation's Great House and cottages
are decorated in floral chintzes with antiques and wicker.
Accommodations include beautifully appointed, spacious rooms in
the Great House, two queen rooms in the Stone Cottage and in the
English Cottage, a two-room deluxe cottage suite decorated with
antiques and florals.

Evidence of sugar cane is everywhere on the comparatively flat, fertile coastal plain. You will drive through large fields of cane and glimpse the narrow gauge railway which is now used to transport it from the fields. Disused sugar mills are also often seen. Around the island are the Great Houses: Fairview, Romney Manor (destroyed by fire in 1995), Golden Lemon, the White House, Rawlins and perhaps most famous for its colonial splendour, Ottley's. They have nearly all been converted into hotels and have excellent restaurants.

Otley is a town in Yorkshire / UK
Otley is a Yorkshire market town of about 15,000 people, set
on the banks of the River Wharfe. It is an ancient, friendly and
picturesque town with a rich commercial and community life. The
town lies in attractive countryside in Mid-Wharfedale at the
centre of the rural triangle between Leeds, Harrogate and
Bradford. Immediately to the south of the town rises Otley
Chevin, which gives magnificent views over Mid-Wharfedale, and in
the past provided much of the stone from which the town centre
was built. Much of the town centre is eighteenth or nineteenth
century or earlier and has Conservation Area status. Otley has
been here from about the mid-Eighth century, when Otta made his
Leah or clearing in the forest.
Since then Otley has evolved a rich and varied character. Its
Parish Church houses some of the best examples of Anglo-Danish
crosses in the country. Thomas Fairfax, Cromwell's general came
from nearby Denton Hall. Thomas Chippendale, the world-famous
furniture maker was born and learnt his craft in Otley. Turner
often stayed nearby, and used the Chevin as the backdrop for at
least one of his famous pictures (Hannibal crossing the Alps).
The Wharfedale Press, which revolutionised nineteenth century
printing, was invented and manufactured in Otley. And the town
hosts the country's oldest agricultural show. The town continues
to be a varied and resourceful place.
It is still very much a market town; with two cattle markets,
agricultural suppliers, blacksmiths, paper manufacturers,
printers, engineers, lens manufacturers, a busy shopping centre
and popular open markets. There are events throughout the year,
the Otley Show in May, the Carnival in June, the Folk festival in
September and the Victorian Fayre in December to name but a few.
The town centre is renowned for the number and quality of its
pubs, and the surrounding countryside provides ample scope for
walking, fishing, riding and other outdoor sports.
Utley, UK
The areas of Beechcliffe and Utley together form two-thirds of
the Parish of Utley. Utley is no longer an independent community
having long since become absorbed into its big brother, Keighley.
Even so Utley residents are justly proud of their bit of
Yorkshire and the Beechcliffe and Utley Development Group exists
to encourage local residents.
Utley straddles the Doncaster-Kendal route to Skipton from
Keighley. Thanks to a by-pass most traffic for Skipton and beyond
now misses our area but even so the "main" road seems
as busy as ever. The north-east edge of Utley is the railway line
from Leeds and Bradford which runs to Skipton, Carlisle and
Morecambe. Electrified in 1995, the rumour is that we will see
fewer steam hauled trains heading for the Settle-Carlisle line as
a result.
