"For a real Bermudian island experience, I can't recommend this cottage enough" Emma, Dec 2016.
"The accommodations are great - cleanliness and comfort are top-notch, and being able to cook a meal in your own well-equipped, private kitchen provided both a break from Bermuda dining-out prices" Meghan, March 2017"
"If we could give more than 5 stars for our stay with the Jacks  we would !! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were well taken care of. The cottage is beautiful, well stocked for cooking if you wish, and very private." Martha  2017
"The Airbnb was one of the best I've ever had! Loved how cute the cottage was. Bed comfortable, very cute style, bathroom was great. Central location to head to either end of the island" Holly, March 2017

Another neighborhood favorite is the Palm Grove Gardens, full of various palms and palmettos. Stay active and go for evening strolls or morning runs on the 18-mile Railway Trail located only minutes away. Start your day at one of the two local cafes, serving up hot coffee and delicious homemade goodies.

Gorgeous and untamed, Hungry Bay is just 5 minutes away and dazzles with picturesque views of the ocean and the best coastal mangrove swamp on the island.

The cottage is walking distance to town and there are several bus stops located at the bottom of the drive to get to either side of the island.

Perfect get away from NY

Bermuda is a beautiful Island!We very much enjoyed our stay and meeting the hosts.They were very nice and made us feel welcomed.We were close to the Horseshoe Bay Beach. We loved it so much we went there twice.Our cottage was perfect for two of us and the location was perfect. All the Bermudians we met were very nice and very helpful. Only 2 hours from JFK airport, NY and you feel like you are in paradise. Thank you to our host and the people of Bermuda!

Home away from home!

We loved our stay at Banstead Cottage. It is a great location for going all over the island. Best if you enjoy mopeds! We relied on the buses and taxi's. It worked! The cottage was cozy and the patio delightful. A bit cool for the pool but we managed a dip on a warm afternoon. Susan and Graham are friendly and great hosts. The weather was quite changeable as it was March but for those of us from Boston, it was a welcome dose of warmth and beauty.

Lovey host, pool and property

The hosts could not be more lovely and the property and pool were great. The outdoor furniture could use an update or even setting up with cushions and sofa covers off would have made it more appealing. A few touches might go a long way... providing some beach chairs and a cooler because no one would bring that on vacation with them and it's no fun to go to the beach for the day with just a small towel. Also while there is a bathtub, there is not nearly enough hot water to ever fill it more than a couple of inches. On the plus side, the cottage is very clean and the bed was comfortable. The pool was lovely and inviting. Probably the best thing about the stay, other than their friendly and loving cat, Rory, who we adopted for the week! The rental has everything you need, but just seemed a little lacking in some extras that could have easily made that stay that much better.

Wonderful Cottage in Bermuda

We loved the very private cottage and pool in Paget! Susan was amazing, and had great communication. The pool was wonderful, and kept clean. The tennis court on the property was also a real luxury! We loved the grill (a nice Weber gas grill, much better than you would expect at most VROB rentals) and cooked fresh local Tuna right by the pool. We rented a Twizy, and. there's a charger conveniently located in the garage. The location is good, right next to the botanical gardens, although it is a bit far from the beach, so a moped or Twizy is recommended. We loved visiting Warwick Long Bay and Jobson's Cove, about a 15-minute drive from the cottage. You will be glad you booked this rental, especially if you like playing tennis and having a private pool to swim in afterward! A+

One of our best trips ever

My wife and I had an absolute blast. The key factor that enhanced the entire trip was our host Susan and her husband Graham. Susan provided just the right amount of day to day attention. When we had questions, she was very responsive. They were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The cottage was just as represented on the website. It was spotless. And although walkable to Hamilton, the beaches and right next to the Botanical Gardens, it is a very private location. We typically did day trips, ate lunch out and made our own meals in the cottage's fully equipped kitchen. Our trip was in late July, so of course it was hot. Coming home after a day of running around and being able to jump in our own private pool was really nice.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage, and having a pool to ourselves was an incredible bonus. Susan and Graham couldn’t have been more accommodating, answering our many questions and ensuring we were having the best possible vacation. Would highly recommend this rental. Thank you Susan and Graham for everything!

Wonderful Stay in Bermuda!

This was our first time to Bermuda. The cottage was home from home and the Hosts were the most gracious helpful people one could ever wish for. The cottage was clean relaxing and had all the amenities one could want on vacation, this together with the private pool and tennis courts in lush landscaped gardens made it a true paradise. We will be going back there!

About the host

Hosted by Susan & Graham

Host profile image
Graham and I (Susan) are world travelers who love meeting and sharing experiences with the people we meet. We have friends all around the world and thrive on learning new cultures and meeting new people. We pride ourselves on our friendliness and hospitality. Fluent in French, Spanish and some Italian. Our life motto is "You only live once so make it count" and the only thing that really matters are the experiences you've had with the people you've met along the road of life.
"When we first started out being Airbnb hosts we didn’t anticipate how much it would open up our world to wonderful new people that we can share our love of Bermuda with, and now we’re both completely hooked. It really is one of the best things we’ve ever done!"

Why they chose this property

We bought the estate because of its incredible location directly beside the Botanical Gardens and because of the properties beautiful gardens and tennis court. We have since completely rebuilt the large main house and adjacent cottage in the typical beautiful, Bermuda architectural style. We have spent the last few years upgrading the surrounding gardens into a lush, tropical landscape that rivals the Botanical Gardens next door.

What makes this property unique

The location of this cottage simply can't be beat. This much coveted location is located on a large estate and with a private pool, tennis court and professional gardens so guests can enjoy their very own paradise in tranquility and close to Hamilton. The cottage also has the incredible benefit of being directly beside the Botanical Gardens and around the corner from the Railway Trail. No other location in Bermuda can offer so much in one place.
