"Had half a dozen trips set up through Piper before COVID hit. She has been a champ with cruises cancelling, flights changing, cancelled plans, rescheduling, etc. Have rebooked several for next year and she is always happy to help and very detail oriented. It is especially helpful to have someone you know will be "on the other end of the line" when travel plans change, flight connections are missed or changed. Piper is readily available to help you through it all!"

Overview
Admirals’ Inn and Gunpowder Suites is set in four historic buildings dating from the 18th century housing 23 rooms and suites in a secluded section of historic Nelson’s Dockyard at English Harbour on the south coast of Antigua.
We have 2 restaurants, Pillars and Boom. At Pillars, named after the 18th century pillars lining the outdoor terrace, we serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our tree-shaded terrace is a delightful place to sit and eat looking out over the water. Local seafood is our speciality, and we use fresh local produce whenever possible. A full range of wines is available. Boom, our new poolside restaurant at Gunpowder House, has spectacular views looking back over Dockyard and the harbour. Here you can enjoy delicious fresh lunches and your favorite cocktail or glass of wine.
We have a spectacular infinity edged pool, with sunbeds and hammocks, a spa, lush gardens, a small beach and a free 5 minute boat shuttle to the swimming beach in the outer harbour. The main building is a three-story Georgian brick structure with a spacious terrace looking out over the water and the yachts lying at anchor.
The main building was planned in 1785 (the year after Nelson arrived in English Harbour as Captain of HMS BOREAS) and was completed in 1788. The ground floor was used to store pitch, turpentine and lead, and there were offices for the engineers of the Dockyard upstairs. The brick passageway at the entrance divided brick-lined pits used for storing the pitch, which was in barrels. Some original pitch marks may still be seen at the foot of the stairs. The bricks used in the building were brought over from England as ship’s ballast, and it is said that the ballast used on the return trip was mostly rum.
The main floor houses a comfortable reception area, lounge and a charming bar. The ship’s plan behind the bar is of Nelson’s ship, H M S BOREAS (meaning “the North Wind”), a 142 foot 28 gun frigate built at Hull. This plan is a photographic copy of the original Admiralty draft of this vessel. Every ship had to leave a draft submitted to their Lordships of the Admiralty for approval of design. The frame surrounding the plans is of lignum vitae, and is an original door frame from one of the entrances to the building.
The round pillars on the grounds once supported a large boat house with a sail loft above. The plans of this building may be seen in the museum. The roof was destroyed by earthquake in 1871, and concrete caps were placed on each pillar to prevent erosion.
