We loved it, we even met another family by the name of Blackburne which is rare.(dblackburne@hotmail.com), just incase they read this, please drop me a line and let me know how you're doing. I have to admit I lost your address. And to my friend "Tedford Grimes" a security officer there, please drop me a line Tedford. We'll miss this place had some nice memories.

I lived on the property for about a year before moving to Castle Close when I was working for Marriott from 92' to 95' Sam Lord's Castle was not only a magnificent property but the staff who worked there made it even better. I was one day hoping to bring my now Wife and Sons there to visit..... Here's to hoping the Economy and Tourism Industry gains strength so that a major Resort Investor can realize "their dream" on one of the finest pieces of Resort Property in the World.....! What a shame…

We spent a few days there 20 years ago while visiting this beautiful island. If I could afford it I would go back in a heartbeat but it would be very sad to see Sam lords in the present state. Such wonderful memmories! Loved the Island and the people. Thank you Barbados. p.s. Just had a thought.....Perhaps sir Cliff Rchards could help with funding for restoration?

I stayed here as a child, our first caribbean holiday in 1998, 1999 and 2000. They're still the best holidays we ever had as a family. The Sea Grill Restaurant the best place I've eaten and the tales of Sam lord still fresh in my memory today. Bajan government ought to be ashamed of themselves for letting this happen! If I was a multi millionaire I'd buy and restore the place my self! This news has broken my heart I can’t believe this could be left to happen to such a beautiful national treasure!
