Great stay for our group
Pros:

Location is very close to Holy Island for an easy crossing. In a calm & quite area. Nice breakfast and pleasant staff.

Cons:

After 11.30pm no staff inside the Hotel. You have to get the main door key earlier if you are coming back late in the night.

Excellent stay, would fully recommend.
Pros:

I loved the Blue Bell hotel, full of character, generous sized rooms, excellent breakfast and lovely friendly staff and visitors. A very decent selection of food offerings throughout the day and evening with occasional live music. The Hotel is a welcome change to generic hotels, yes, it could probably do with a small lick of paint here and there but its an older building with proper character. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Cons:

Nothing for me to be honest.
