We found the staff of the Bell Rock Hotel invariably friendly, warm and helpful. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them and the whole atmosphere was inviting. The rooms were light and airy during the day and there was good lighting at night. The lounge bar was comfortable. The food was good and service excellent. We would definitely go... More

We found that the Bell Rock was comfortable, clean and very friendly. The staff were lovely and the food was excellent. Some of the rooms are quite a bit smaller than others but there were plenty of extras that you would normally expect in a good hotel. The hotel lies between two beaches and is handy to the bicycle rental... More

We stayed at the Bell Rock for a 4 day short break after Easter. First impressions of the hotel were very good. The hotel is clean, staff are very friendly and efficient. We were in room 4 at the top of the stairs. The room was a bit small but the adjacent bathroom was half the size of the bedroom!... More

Room 4 is at the front of the hotel in the older part of the building. The rooms vary in shape & size on this side, as the building's layout... More

My first visit to the Isles of Scilly which offer good old English traditions which are often lost in today's resorts - great beaches, friendly, helpful service, pleasant walks, messing about in boats and a wide variety of plants and birds. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay but embracing these traditions still leaves opportunities for the hotel to offer the best... More

Excellent in all respects - from the warm welcome by all the staff, to the exceptionally clean accommodation, and the top class restaurant. Centrally located - just a few minutes from the quay. Very reasonably priced for the standards of the accommodation and food. The two-star rating seems harsh - this hotel is at least as good as others with... More

Thank you for your comments. We're pleased you enjoyed our hotel's facilities and that the staff all looked after you. Our customer service is something we are proud of. I'm concerned that you were not fully happy with the dessert choices. Normally we do have various choices, but this weekend when you were here, this was limited to a choice... More
