“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

This is a great place to stay when visiting Jamaica. It is a perfect place to stay at the beginning or the end of a trip if you are flying out of Montego Bay. It is very convenient and close to the airport. (10 minute drive) It is also close to the 'Hip Strip' which is where a lot of tourist go. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the pool and beautiful view. I loved the breakfast every morning and the pool. The hosts are very kind and helpful. They make the place one of the best places to visit. We would love to come back and would make sure to stay here.

“Our favorite B&B anywhere!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

We loved staying at Polkerris. It is only a 10 minute drive from the airport and an easy 10 minute walk from the beach. The house was big, beautiful, and had a gorgeous view. For the first 3 nights of our stay we had the whole place to ourselves, which was heavenly. The pool is refreshing and even better with a waterfall running right beside it. It was an easy place to relax, lounge, and rest. Jeremy and Clarissa were amazing hosts. They helped coordinate transportation, give directions, and really made you feel at home. Every morning we had our choice of pancakes, French toast, cod and ackee, eggs, bacon - you name it! We never went hungry at breakfast. The only thing of concern during our visit was that they do allow kids to stay and, unfortunately, there was a family with 2 loud, young boys on the last 2 days of trip. The boys woke up at 6 a.m., were quite loud, and woke me up. Being pregnant and exhausted, I was not amused. Obviously, it's not guaranteed that there will be kids there and, during the day, while the family was out, it was no big deal.

If we ever make our way back to Jamaica, we would stay there again in a heart beat. Seriously, the best B&B we have stayed in on three continents.

Room Tip: King suite on the 2nd floor overlooking Montego Bay is the only way to go!

“Excellent & peaceful place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2012

I stayed here for two nights in April of 2012. What a great place to relax! The owners were very gracious and the place was amazing. Such a contrast to the hustle and bustle of the resorts that I stayed at for the beginning part of my trip. The location was excellent, only a short walk from the Hip street and the beaches. If you are looking for a place to relax, while still being in the middle of everything this is the place to stay. Coffee and breakfast in the morning (custom made to your taste and wishes) were also excellent and I fondly remember the Jamaican taste and this place.

“Delightful colonial mansion”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

We had the most wonderful time here.
My days began with a refreshing dip, a few steps from our bedroom into the gorgeous sparkling blue waters of the pool, followed by a healthy, delicious breakfast on the terrace overlooking Montego Bay. A place that I will always remember. Highly recommended.

“Why would you want to stay anywhere else?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2012

Comfortable, clean, convenient and SECURE.
Our last stop in Jamaica was made most agreeable by the warm welcome offered by the owners Clarrisa,Jeremy, and the staff of Polkerrish in Montego Bay. We were greeted with a cool drink of limeade and very comfortable accommodations. The owner was very solicitous and went out of her way to make calls on our behalf to ensure our safe travel to an from our side trips. The breakfasts were excellent ( we tried the typical jamaican breakfast, the steak, moist muffins, and the french toast).  The coffee was good to the last drop and the fresh guava and pineapple juice combination was lovely. The panoramic view overlooking the Caribbean, and the relaxing pool with orchids, a small waterfall and fish pond, just a stones throw from Doctor's Cave beach, made this the ideal location for our family. We have found a home away from home!

Room Tip: All rooms are quiet and secure. Be sure to take the leftovers from your breakfast back to the fridge...
