The Bell Tower Inn was just fantastic! The room was very clean and tidy. The staff were amazing and friendly. The biggest draw card for me was the indoor pool which did not disappoint at all. I swam for a few hours. Very clean and tidy. Thank you Bell Tower in for a lovely stay. Will definitely be back.

This is by far the most comfortable and well set up place of accommodation I have ever stayed in. Had toaster kettle, bar fridge & microwave which was great. Heating worked & electric blanket was lovely. Bed was comfortable & blankets warm enough. Parking right outside room made it easy to unpack & pack up. Didn’t use pool but kids would love it all year round. I will be back for another stay when running in a race again.

Lovely room and easy to find

Easy to find. Was a spacious room with 1 queen and 1single bed. Comfy beds, hot shower. Big bathroom. Free WiFi but if you wanted Netflix etc you had to use your own account. Kettle, tea, coffee, sugar and toaster. Electric blankets. Heater was good. Indoor heated pool. Staff were helpful and friendly. Easy parking. Motel has a restaurant or you can go to Lazy Moes next door with yummy food.
