The village of Culloden - on the South coast of Jamaica where our beloved Culloden Cove is - has been devastated by Hurricane Melissa. This was the strongest hurricane on record with 185 mph winds and Culloden was sadly in the eye of the storm. It made landfall right in the community. There is not a roof or tree left in the entire place. I've just had a video call with Nathalie our manager and it looks like an apocalyptic movie.

Everybody who stays at Culloden Cove says that the staff make their vacation special. It's a beautiful setting but they bring that Jamaican warmth and friendliness - and of course the delicious food - which help make staying at the villa a memorable experience for so many people.

We are committed to helping the staff of Culloden Cove recover from this terrible disaster. Our staff now need your help to rebuild their homes they have lost or which have been damaged in this terrible storm.

We are kindly asking for your help on their behalf. Every cent raised will go directly to the staff. This is not for reconstruction of the villa which we will have to deal with ourselves.

Thank you so much for your kind and generous support at this difficult time for Culloden and for Jamaica, land we love.
