Lovely room with a great restaurant
Pros:

The room was large and beautiful. The bar and restaurant are excellent.

Cons:

The bathroom was simply a bath with no curtains so quite impractical to shower without making a big mess.

A little too "cozy" on the top floor, however overall our stay was enjoyable.
Pros:

This was our third stay at The Bell Inn. We love the location which is quiet yet close to major centers. We booked the "cozy" room as we had done so before. This time our cozy room was on the top floor which was very cozy! As relatively tall people the sloping ceiling did make our stay a little uncomfortable, the most problematic being accessing the desk area which is extremely tight.
