General Accommodation Information
The accommodation at The Hermitage is in cottages of historical or architectural interest, and designed to catch the prevailing breezes. Every bedroom has an heirloom canopy bed, antique and period furnishing, and full bath with showers and tubs. All rooms have unique and charming views from their private porches. Amenities within each cottage include direct-dial telephones, in-room safes, ceiling fans, refrigerators, irons and ironing boards, tea and coffee making facilities.
The individual guest cottages circle the 340 year old Great House which is the social centre of the plantation. The intimate Great Room (as with all the rooms and guest cottages) is furnished with antiques and period furnishings from old family collections. It is the setting for hours of conversation or quiet reflection with books from the adjacent well stocked library (formerly the Planters Office). More contemporary touches are the opera and movie musical videos which are available in the sitting room.
The bar, dining rooms and dining veranda at the Great House offer service from early morning until late evening, manned by helpful, friendly staff. One feels as a house guest, not a hotel guest.
