The 1774 Officer's Quarters at Fort Shirley, restored based on the original plans still housed at the National Archives at Kew, England! The fort is now a public park open for all, and the Officer's Quarters can be rented for weddings, receptions, concerts and other events.
A recently restored battery demonstrates how Fort Shirley protected Prince Rupert Bay, the best anchorage on Dominica. The bay itself has a long history. In 1493 one of Columbus' ships entered the bay, and by 1535 the Spanish made it station along their official treasure ship route. Check out the map to see how the fort sits on a volcanic headland, strategically overlooking the bay. Construction of the fort began in 1765 after France ceded Dominica to the British at the Treaty of Paris. The French won it back in 1778, only to cede it again five years later at the Treaty of Versailles. At it's height the fort housed over 600 men, but in 1854 it was finally abandoned as the British and French made up. Today the fort is a public park open for all to visit. Pack and lunch and enjoy the view.

The ocean was beautifully visible. We didn't use the pool. The cleaning service was almost non-existent, they were unable to get the WiFi working for the last two days, and for breakfast they offered us a bowl of fresh fruit, two eggs, toast, and bacon, which they charged us for at the end because ...

8/10 Very Good! (43 reviews)
Our cottage was right on the beach and we went to bed each night with the sound of quiet waves lulling us to sleep. We went for a diving trip and Cabrits Dive Shop was a short walk away making it very convenient. The beach is beautiful! Staff was kind and kept the place clean and neat.
