Salt Kettle House Bermuda
A Perfect GuesthouseHotel Category: $, Location: Paget Parish
|
|
Salt Kettle House offers a great guest house accommodation in Bermuda and is one of our personal favorites when it comes to Bed and Breakfast type lodging in the island.
Every time we have been here, we continue to get charmed by the personal care and service extended by Hazel Lowe, the owner of this superb guesthouse.
As you arrive, Hazel invites you to the lounge, serves refreshing drinks and then takes out her map to help you plan your days.

With her personal experience, she will start recommending the best places and things to do in Bermuda. Her friendly gesture and warmth continues through out the stay.
Salt Kettle house Bermuda
The first time we came to Salt Kettle House in Bermuda, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that, despite popularity of this Bermuda inn, Hazel has stayed away from an answering machine, email, or a website. I came to learn from her that many of her guests are returning guests, and many of them reserve months in advance to get their favorite rooms.
A cozy lounge inside the main entrance has a fireplace where you can gather for cocktails, chat with other guests or read the generous collection of books.

The bus stop is a bit of a walk. The ferry is most convenient. If you rent a scooter, you will have all the flexibility. Paget is centrally located. So 40 minutes would be the maximum drive to the farthest place in the island.
The following attractions are within five minutes drive from Salt Kettle House:
Elbow Beach, a wonderful stretch of sands and a popular beach in Bermuda;
Paget Marsh, a nature reserve full of native plantations, wildlife and birds.
I have heard that there have been few cases of break-ins at Salt Kettle house Bermuda and some of the guests have had difficulties. I believe these were stray cases. We have never had such problems and never felt unsafe here. All doors have double locks and there is a safe in the rooms. For my family and me, Salt Kettle House remains as the top favorite guesthouse and a B&B in its own category.
They do not accept credit cards. There is no in-room phone. However there is a payphone in the premises. Rates include breakfast.
