About the host
Hosted by Kilian Whelan
Hi... we are Elaine & Kilian from Scotland and Ireland respectively and have been living in Bermuda since the mid 1990's. In 2015 we bought Salthouse and Saltine on Seabright Lane and Hungry Bay in Paget Bermuda. In late 2015 we began an 18 month full renovation of Saltine Cottage and in May 2017 Saltine opened as a premier vacation rental cottage.
We love to travel and prefer to stay in vacation rental accommodations rather than hotels for the extra room and freedom a vacation rental provides. Saltine has been designed and equipped to the highest standards that we like to see when we travel.
