Frommer's Review

The Oxford House is one of the best and most centrally located guesthouses in the City of Hamilton, about a 10-minute scooter ride or a 30-minute walk from Elbow Beach. The only property in Bermuda constructed specifically as a guesthouse, it's on a side street that leads to Front Street, near the Bermudiana Hotel.

The guesthouse was built in 1938 by a doctor and his French wife, who requested that some of the architectural features follow French designs. Doric columns, corner mullions, and urn-shaped balustrades flank the white- and cream-colored entrance portico. Inside, a curved stairwell sweeps up to spacious, well-furnished guest rooms, each named after one of Bermuda's parishes. They have high ceilings and dressing areas. Two accommodations are equipped with full bathrooms; the rest contain shower units. There's also a sunny upstairs sitting room. Breakfast might include a fresh fruit salad made with oranges and grapefruit grown in the yard. The gracious hostess is Welsh-born Ann Smith.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
