PAGET PARISH
Fourways Inn This posh little place feels like a secret hideaway. Pink-sided,
airy, and stylish, the Bermudian cottages occupy well-maintained gardens. The sands
of Elbow Beach and Mermaid Beach lie within a 15-minute walk or 5-minute scooter
ride. The main building is a former private home dating from 1727. Each of the two-
bedroom cottages is renovated and contains conservative, comfortable furniture.
There's a medium-size grocery store across the road, but the kitchenettes are better
suited for sandwich and snack preparation than for making a feast. There's also a
well-regarded restaurant on-site.

SOUTHAMPTON PARISH
Grape Bay Cottages Small-scale and folksy, this “resort” consists of two cozy
saltbox-style cottages directly beside the sea. Each has comfortable, unpretentious
furniture and lots of reminders of Bermuda's maritime traditions, as well as a simple
bathroom containing a tub/shower combination, a fully equipped kitchen, a wide
front veranda, and family-friendly ambience. Maid service is provided for the bed-
rooms and living rooms (but not for the kitchens) Monday through Saturday. The
venue, which is often booked 6 months in advance, is about as laissez-faire as you're
likely to find anywhere in Bermuda, but it's well-suited to visitors who prefer self-
catered holidays in a simple cottage by the beach.

WARWICK PARISH
