Everything about our recent experience was top notch. Convenience, facilities, communication, hosts were great. Can't say enough great things about our Banstead Cottage Vacation. Larry and Dana
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!
This location is close to Hamilton and Elbow beach. Itâs a very nice property with a pool and tennis courts and an electric car charger. The bed is super comfy and the decor is up to date. The hosts are really nice respectful of privacy. I would highly recommend this property!
Susan and Graham were such gracious hosts. Susan left muffins and cookies to enjoy for the morning. Cottage was just like it was pictured and very conveniently located. I would definitely return again for another wonderful stay. Thank you!
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.
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.
Our cottage was wonderful. Everything was as described or better. Location was excellent. Close to Hamilton and centrally located. Susan and Graham were wonderful hosts. Pool, tennis courts and botanical gardens at your fingertips. Absolutely would recommend.

This was our first trip to Bermuda and we could not be happier! The cottage was cozy and comfortable and such a lovely location. We really enjoyed the pool in the evening after a long day in the hot sun exploring the island. We didn't want to leave!
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+
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 couldnât 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!
Beautifully decorated cottage with lovely pool and huge patio with awning. Hosts Susan and Graham couldn't have been more pleasant. 20 min walk into Hamilton.
I loved absolutely everything about this holiday the accommodation was more then excellent it was above and beyond excellent as were the hosts, who lived in adjoining property where absolutely nothing was too much trouble for them. Bermuda was a very very pretty island and the people so very friendly. Excellent holiday would 100% go back
Everything was perfect. They literally thought of everything one could need while in Bermuda. And anyone on the fence about coming to Bermuda should not be! Itâs the friendliest, most beautiful place weâve ever seen. Thanks again for everything!
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!
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 didnât anticipate how much it would open up our world to wonderful new people that we can share our love of Bermuda with, and now weâre both completely hooked. It really is one of the best things weâve ever done!"
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.
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.
