The Hermitage is simple beautiful. It is one of those places that has real soul. From the beautiful historical living and dining spaces to the very comfortable room we cannot fault this lovely boutique hotel. The bed was comfortable and it had excellent mosquito nets . The shower provided good pressure and a choice of hot or cold. The staff were simply brilliant , they cannot do enough to make one comfortable but they do it in a low key fashion so one feels looked after but they do not invade your privacy . The pool is gorgeous and is located in beautiful tropical gardens. The food was simply delicious from an excellent breakfast with a wide choice from muesli with home made yoghurt to full cooked breakfast. The lunch menu provides a choice of salads, sandwiches or main meals. The evening meal was excellent from Mahi-mahi to pasta dishes and on Friday really delicious thin crust pizza from their pizza oven . The Hermitage is a peaceful haven where one can recharge and recover from our modern day world. Because it is located in the foothills of Nevis one is woken to bird song and in the evening troops of monkeys come down to play and feast in the trees surrounding the property. It is one of the oldest remaining buildings in the Caribbean and is finished with lovely antiques . A well stocked library and gentle classical music assist to make it a lovely escape . We had a wonderful stay in early October. Thankyou

The Hermitage is unique and rustic, it takes you back in time. I was able unplug myself and relax. I especially enjoyed the Wednesday pig roast. I put my meals on my room and didn’t have cash to tip. I ask to have additional money added to my bill at checkout. I hope it was received.

Run down, dark, disappointing. Beautiful grounds but they not make up for the ruin of a room. Broken ceiling fan, tears in the mosquito net, large gaps in exterior walls. No deck chairs. Leakes from the shower, fridge and roof. A rooster beneath our window pre-dawn, critters in the wardrobe. Hearing our polite (solicited) thoughts on the room, owner Richie's unapologetic response was 'We don't normally use that room, you should have booked direct.' Noted, but at full rate, unappreciated. Good food, lovely guests, gift shop worth a visit. We stayed at several properties on Nevis at the same price point and those rooms were far superior for value and condition. We were relieved to move on after two sleepless nights. Perhaps other rooms are in better repair. Are you feeling lucky?

Love this beautifully maintained and restored historical hotel. Traditional influenced meals and the character of this property makes for a unique experience quite like no other. Great staff that make you feel like family is such a lovely touch. One of the most fascinating, unique hidden getaways I’ve wver visited. I truly loved our third visit and can’t wait to return.

hesitated to write this review as I'm not sure it will do this place justice. You are greeted at reception by the owner, spend the first couple of hours being totally amazed and excited and taking everything in and then suddenly feel completely at home. We booked a hillside room but ended up in the little yellow cottage by the pool - twin gables. We had a front and rear balcony - the latter being enclosed completely by mosquito netting which meant we could sit out at night without being eaten. We quickly got the hang of the hammock and were charmed by the four poster bed and antique furniture. Views uphill were towards the mountain, and downhill across the gardens and the wonderful planting (the botanical gardens were just up the road but we found that there was so much of interest right on our doorstep). We watched hummingbirds in the morning and monkeys in the afternoon and listened to the tree frogs in the evening. The food here is rightly famous. At breakfast, we tried the french toast which was lovely (but a little sweet for us in the huge portions served) and enjoyed the pumpkin pancakes and local fruit juices enormously. Dinner in the evening is expensive but good quality. If you can only splash out on one meal do the west indian buffett on a wednesday night - we spent the day relaxing around the property and watching the pig cook, but actually the highlight of the 15 or so dishes was the rabbit pie. The main house was open to residents throughout the day and evening.

Great for authentic Caribbean experience!
I've travelled extensively through the Caribbean, but this is the only place I've stayed that offers an authentic Caribbean experience in an old plantation with rich history, great service, and fantastic food. This is an ideal place to go for couples and particularly families with small children.

Relaxing stay at a historic and beautiful property
The Hermitage is a charming, historic inn located in a beautiful part of Nevis. We could see the clouds pass over Mt. Nevis as our children swam in the pool, and we watched the green vervet monkeys frolic in the rainforest as we relaxed on the porch off of our bedroom. The people are so friendly, helpful, and the food is delicious.

A nice place for relaxing
The Hermitage has a quiet relaxing feel about it. I stayed 4 nights and only had breakfast there - the menu is limited. There's no TV in the cottage where I stayed and WiFi was very poor which meant little contact with the outside world during my stay. The decor is dated but the bed and rooms are very clean. I was greeted with a complimentary drink on arrival and a large bottle of water. Staff are polite and helpful for the most part.

Beautiful home away from home
Loved everything about the Hermitage. When we arrived, we were greeted by Sean and Donna. After Donna checked us in, Sean walked with us to our cottage. As it turned out, no one was staying in the room on the 2nd floor, so we were given an upgrade! Sean took our suitcase upstairs for us and offered to get us complimentary rum punch drinks. The rum punch was fantastic!! Our room was so lovely as it was decorated in the British colonial style. We had a small fridge, a coffee maker, hot water kettle and of course tea bags and coffee packs. We never needed air conditioning and never saw a mosquito in our room ( saw one once in bathroom at the botanical gardens). This is a family owned operation; we loved chatting with Richard and Ritchie (father and son). They are so personable and are fonts of knowledge about Nevis (Richard has lived there for 50 years & Ritchie was born & raised in Nevis). Let me just say that the restaurant at the Hermitage is simply the best food ever. You must come for dinner on Wednesday night!! Wednesday night has the ultimate spread of food of the West Indies including a roasted pig. It may be pricey, but it is worth every penny!!! Don't stay anywhere else--this is a very special place.
