Oxford House Bermuda
A Review of the Guesthouse Category: $$ Location: City of Hamilton
|
|
Oxford House Bermuda was built in 1938. This is probably the only tourist accommodation in Bermuda which was built specifically as a guesthouse.
Oxford House won the Guesthouse Merit Award from Bermuda Department of Tourism every year since 1996.
It's located in a fashionable garden suburb of city of Hamilton. South shore beaches are within easy reach either by bus, taxi, or moped.
|
It’s just 150 yards from Hamilton harbor-front, while the ferry and bus terminals, water tours and Front Street's shops and restaurants are just three blocks away.
We came to know from Ann Smith, the present owner and hostess, that at the time of construction of Oxford House, French architectural designs were taken into consideration. You can see the French design features like the Doric columns as you go around the guesthouse.

A curved staircase leads to upstairs landing and then you have the spacious & well-furnished guest rooms.
There’s a small library for visitors at the landing. An adjacent balcony overlooks the small garden at the front of the house.
|
Oxford House Bermuda provides continental breakfast that usually includes muffins, fruits and scones. A pot of boiling water sits on the breakfast table so you can cook eggs to your choice.
|
|
There are 12 rooms at Oxford House Bermuda, all named after Bermuda’s parishes. They have standard facilities like air conditioning, cable TV, telephone, private bathroom and coffee/tea maker.
|
The rooms are all very nicely decorated and look like English country houses having antique furniture and floral drapes.
There is no dinner at The Oxford House Bermuda. This was no big issue for us as we could easily walk down to a wide range of nearby restaurants and pubs.
Oleander Cycles has a branch nearby if you wish to hire a scooter.
