Salt Kettle House

Frommer's Review

Informal and secluded, with a discreet kind of elegance, this little charmer sits on a narrow peninsula jutting into Hamilton Harbour. You can swim in a cove and watch ships going in and out of the harbor. The core of this guesthouse is a 200-year-old cottage that has been enlarged over the years. Over time, other cottages were built on the lot. Today, the compound is a cheerful architectural hodgepodge that's popular with boaters. Rooms are generally small, but comfortably furnished; they evoke a traditional Bermuda compound without the glitz of the resort hotels. Today, in addition to the main house, four waterside cottages each have sitting rooms, shaded patios, and kitchens. The Starboard, the best cottage, can comfortably accommodate four guests. All units have private bathrooms mostly with tub/shower combinations. Guests in the main house also have use of a fully equipped kitchen, and cottages have full kitchens. A duet of outdoor barbecue pits in the garden get frequent use by guests. The owner-manager is England-born Mrs. Hazel Lowe.
