Very nicely presented, relatively small (by UK National Trust standards, at least) house. Good audio guide and short movie to explain more about the house and especially the link to George Washington (spoiler alert: it is not now, nor has it ever been, ‘his’ house!) Interesting exhibits in the rooms upstairs in the house - we learned a lot. We visited on a Thursday morning, and the lady at the ticket desk encouraged us to go and watch the changing of the sentry outside the Guard House just across the road, which was a bonus. Also a friendly and popular on site cafe.

We booked a guided tour but there is a self-guided option. We enjoyed the house tour and walked through the tunnel. We also went to the garrison. Our guide pointed out the highlights of the garrison which included the look-out tower and the cannon room. Thanks to our guide who was very knowledgeable about George Washington's stay in Barbados. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the cafe and would recommend it and the food.

This place is filled with history and the movie and the self guided tour on the headset they give you is very good. Reasonable priced entry fee too. Enjoyed learning about a part of George Washington's life I had no idea about. Also learned a lot about history of Barbados too.

We had two days in Bridgetown Barbados after our Caribbean cruise. Our cab driver from the port pointed out the George Washington house, explaining that George Washington had spent time on Barbados and they had a museum of the house where he stayed. We love history and so George Washington House was the 1st place we visited in Barbados. It is a fascinating tour that I recommend for any history fan. The house is furnished the way it would have been when George Washington stayed there. Your tour ticket includes a recorded tour which gives all kinds of fascinating information about what George Washington did during his visit and how what he learned in Barbados informed choices he made as general of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. There is also a lovely cafe on the property where we stopped and had a coke break. While we didn't eat there, the food looked amazing. I highly recommend making George Washington House part of your visit to Bridgetown, Barbados.

This museum details George Washington’s 2 week holiday in the 1700’s where he spent most of it in bed with smallpox! As you can imagine, there isn’t much to see but some good info about the history of Barbados. The cafe however, is excellent! Our waiter, Andre, was exceptional!! Friendly, charismatic, attentive and ensured we were well looked after. The rum punch is a must, we had several! We would absolutely return but bypass the museum and head straight to the cafe!

I was very pleasantly surprised! The house was a nice time capsule, but the main take away was in both the excellent self-guided audio tour, and in the upstairs exhibition on the history of both the site it self, but also on Barbados and the colonial period, which helped me get a much better understanding of the islands history. In addition, the staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly — even by Bajan standards! There is also a nice café. The tunnels are fascinating, although only a short stringy stretch is open to the public — a somewhat missed opportunity, even if understandable. I definitely do not regret going, and would recommend a visit!

Our tour of the George Washington House was a highlight of our cruise. Our tour guide, James, did a wonderful job explaining the history of the island and George Washington’s visit there. Very interesting and informative and so worth the price of a ticket! Highly recommend. 10 out of 10.

Absolutely fascinating and very well presented, this is a delightful museum and taught us so much, we had no idea of GW's (brief) connection with Barbados. It's easy to feel the historic atmosphere and imagine life in the house several hundred years ago. We also walked the long tunnel, gosh how narrow (people were slimmer then!)

As an American, I've had the privilege of visiting numerous locations that the first U.S. president, George Washington, either resided in or visited, even if it was just for a single beer. Barbados is the only (currently) foreign country he ever stayed in, and it was here that a young George Washington gained scientific knowledge and made significant connections that would later aid his career. The audio self-guided tour, which was included in the $20 admission fee, along with a short film, were well worth the cost. A section of the extensive tunnel system is accessible from the property. Normally, I'm not one for confined spaces, but the path was sufficiently lit for this claustrophobic person. We walked to the house from our hotel, but there was ample parking available on-site. I'm not certain if access might be challenging on race days. I recommend a stroll to the clock tower for an excellent photo opportunity. The entire area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I noticed a charming couple seated on one of the benches around the racetrack. Garrison is indeed a tranquil area.

The tour of the Geo. Washington house was very informative and well done! Learned a good deal about the Caribbean Slave trade. Did not know that the value of sugar and rum far outpaced US goods as far as the British were concerned. Also toured the Barbados museum just up the hill and that also was well worth doing. Did not walk through the "Garrison tunnel"...went down the steps and peered in and it was way too narrow to be comfortable for us.
