W04. Water front 2 bedroom apartment NEAR SCAUR HILL IN SOMERSET.

On a private street just off Scaur Hill and overlooking boats gently bobbing at their moorings is a sprawling family estate. On the waterfront is a handsome home containing a separate apartment that suits up to 4 guests.

The 2 bathrooms have a shower and tub ensemble in one, and a shower in the other along with the usual amenities of toilet and sink. The kitchen has sufficient cabinetry, a full sized fridge/freezer, full sized stove, table and four chairs, coffeemaker, microwave and iron and ironing board, as well as laundry facility, offered with the proviso that water is used VERY frugally. Water is a precious and costly resource in Bermuda. Cutlery, dishes and glassware as well as linens for 4 are provided. There is an eat-in area for dining and a comfortable livingroom to relax in.

Cable TV- 2 sets. Telephone service: calling card for overseas call

required. The property has a barbecue and outdoor table and chairs for casual dining. Local calls are free but long distance can only be accessed by calling card.

Lots of closet space will provide you with storage for all your beautiful Bermuda acquisitions and luggage. Be sure to go and see the shopping concourses at Naval Dockyard as well as Hamilton where luxury goods, books and crafts and arts, fine dining and so on can be enjoyed, not ten minutes from the house. The bus stop is a simple level walk not 2 minutes away from the cottage. The bus system will take you into town in 20 minutes, or over to the ferry for the lovely water trip into Hamilton in about the same time frame. And you can swim RIGHT FROM THE DOCK at this pretty waterfront location.

Willowbank Hotel is nearby with its dining facilities and picturesque setting. If you rent a boat, you can tour Cathedral Rocks out at the point and all the charming little islands in the area. You can hop on the bus or walk up Somerset Road to Callaghan Bay or on to Somerset Long Bay for some sand between your toes. The grand beaches at Horseshoe, Warwick Long Bay and Elbow are a short bus or moped ride away and some are serviced public beaches with cafes, beach chair and umbrella rentals available. The Somerset Ferry terminal is half a mile walk away, and there is a scuba diving-bike rental operation there as well. The Railway Trail is very close by for biking and exercising. The local Supermarket is 1 mile away: spirits are sold until 9pm, and groceries can be purchased there until midnight. "Traditions Café"

or the "Country Squire Restaurant" is 5 minutes away, and the "Frog and

Onion Pub" and the "Freeport Restaurant" is 10 minutes away at Dockyard.Please note: this property works very well (sleeping up to 4) in conjunction with W11 (sleeps 2) and W20 (sleeps 2) which are all on the same estate. A total of eight people can therefore be accommodated.
Studio Apt. for no more than 2 persons may be available at this location in 2007.

SeaExpress:
There is a fast ferry catamaran which runs from St. Georges to Hamilton. It's an intereating alternative to the bus as it will stop in Dockyard (which is the western most point of the island) on the way to Hamilton. The ferry is $4 per person each way and the trip takes 1 +/- hours. Currently ferries leave as follows BUT YOU MUST VERIFY THIS WITH THE WEB SCHEDULE. See Bermuda Government website on ferry service

Leaves St. George: 10 am, 11 am, 12 noon, 1:30, 3 pm, 4 pm

The last Ferry leaves Hamilton to St. Georges at 2:30 pm so you will probably bus it or cab it back to St. George after your day's outing.
