A big big no from us. Railway tour is novel, but way too expensive and did not include the rum distillery. Not great for the price.Full review by MusicTraveller0832

We want to visit St Nicholas Abbey by taxi but we would rather not pre-arrange the return taxi as we don’t want to be restricted time wise. Are there taxis waiting there or is it possible to get someone at the abbey to call a taxi for us?
A:

The place is relatively small. I got the feeling people came and left in an hour. We took a much more relaxed approach; we were lucky to jump straight into a tour, then wandered into the taste session then onto the veranda for lunch. We had a lazy lunch. But if you avoided that or ate quickly you could whizz around the garden at a glance and be done easily within two hours. The place is small for an attraction - but so lovely and pleasant you may wish to soak it up. Your choice.
