Restoration began by the Barbados National Trust during the following summer. In 1997, financial support was provided by American Express for emergency repairs. The mill was reopened in 1999.

Many years ago, the drive on either side to get to it was flanked by cherry trees, thus the reason for its name; however these were replaced with mahogany trees which now line the road.

Traveler Reviews

Calvin, our tour guide, arrived promptly and was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed being shown around this beautiful island, and the hour on the boat and swimming were fabulous! Lunch was okay but we wouldn’t return to the restaurant.

We did two tours with this company and both were fantastic. We did the Just BIM tour which we booked directly through their website and the Explore and Discover Barbados By Land & By Sea tour. Just BIM - Thank you to our tour guide Stephen who was extremely professional and genuinely cares tremendously about the visitor experience, we even booked an additional private tour with him because he knew we wanted to see more of the island. He was more than happy to make additional stops depending on what we wanted to see and gave us loads of interesting facts about life in Barbados. Explore and Discover Barbados By Land & By Sea - Thank you very much to our tour guide Lisa. She was extremely professional and like Stephen, also provide us with loads of interesting facts about life in Barbados and the sites we were seeing. Her bubbly and energetic personality really bounced onto us and we really enjoyed spending our time with her. Snorkelling at the Shipwreck and with the turtles was an

The tour was very good. Driver/tour guide did an excellent job. Unfortunately due to a change in the ships schedule we had to miss the boat ride and swimming with the turtles.

Calvin was a wonderful host in Barbados. The island is very safe, very clean and organised. We were briefed on the customs, how to deal with the sales people (a haggling lesson) and Barbados laws. All very helpful for witless tourists. The sights were amazingly beautiful, particularly Bathsheba beach. Great time snorkeling with green turtles, fish, stingrays (safely on the ocean floor) and shipwreck. Calvin and the tranquility crew provided an unforgettable day for our family. Thank you
