Fodor's Review:
Innkeeper Hazel Lowe has the warmth and personality that B&B aficionados dream about. This, coupled with the fact that her house and its cottages rest directly on a secluded bay adjoining Hamilton Harbour, make Salt Kettle House the most memorable stay on the island. Besides Ms. Lowe, dramatis personae include her friendly cats Willy and Milly; two ducks; books, which are everywhere; and returning patrons, who constitute 90% of guests. A cozy lounge inside the main entrance has a real fireplace where you can gather for cocktails and conversation. First-timers, "whether they like it or not," are given insightful tips by Ms. Lowe on the best of Bermuda. Four waterside cottages have shaded patios and lounge chairs, bedrooms, sitting rooms, and full kitchens. You can fish here and cook your catch, read on a lawn hammock, or have tea with Ms. Lowe, B&B rock star. PROS: steps form ferry, wonderful private setting, beautiful gardens, great hospitality. CONS: no beach, no pool.
