I have never written a review of a B & B or Inn before but felt strongly that I needed to say something about our stay at Belle of the Bay in July. We booked well in advance of our visit after reading all the glowing reviews and reserved a room with 2 beds. Some Trip Advisor comments mentioned the... More

A visit to Belle Island was a spur of the moment thing during the last days of our two-week of driving around Newfoundland in June, 2012. The Belle of the Bay made the trip memorable. A beautifully built convent has been turned into a bed and breakfast. The rooms are spacious, with good views and locally created artwork. Just enough... More

It was our anniversary plus my birthday at the time of our stay. The hosts Angie & John couldn't do enough for us. Their Bistro was beautifully designed and the meals were wonderful. Angie's smoothies where awesome. We felt so relaxed and the honeymoon suite was sooooooo comfortable and very clean. The morning of my birthday between my husband and... More

This inn is run by a very friendly, young couple, with a family. From the moment we arrived we felt as if we were visiting friends. ("Pop down for a coffee and a chat!".) The surroundings have an old world charm......paintings and quilts that bring you back to your childhood days! The rooms are well furnished, comfortable and clean. You... More

We stayed here in august 2010 as it came highly recommended, however the service was extremely poor. I ordered the special birthday package - the website promised a gourmet chocolate cake. We got a stale Sobeys special, two paper plates and no forks or a knife! The room was clean enough, and comfortable, but breakfast the next morning was another... More

As a young couple doing things, my husband and I have always found that young people never get much respect, whether if we are traveling, going out to dinner, shopping, but here we were treated with respect. When we first arrive at the Inn we were greeted and treated nicely and were for the rest of our stay. I love... More

We booked by cellphone while on the road. We were pleasantly greeted, our luggage taken up to our rooms , our money taken and were given advise on the sights on the island. We asked several times what time breakfast was served. We were told 8 am. We received a $10.00 coupon each " towards breakfast" at the bistro in... More

Thank you for taking the time for thoughtful feedback and advice. I appreciate the positive points as well as the areas we need to improve. We are a new operation and, regrettably, on that day we did not provide our guest the service you expected and the service we strive to deliver. My apologies. We have received much positive reviews... More

The Belle of the Bay Inn is a gem on an island that offers little else. It wasn't very busy when we were there - but the room was beautiful and extremely comfortable. Only spoke briefly with the Inn keeper...he didn't have much to say. The Inn sits on a hill overlooking the Bay. Not much else on the island,... More

Thank you for the very positive review - it is much appreciated. The island has a fascinating history and many wonderful attractions - the miners museum (was largest iron ore mines in British Empire until closed), Seaman's Memorial (ships torpedoed off pier during WWII), murals, beaches and great vistas. Also a wonderful place to get away and relax. I hope... More

We stayed here before their busy season. Bed was very comfortable. The room were very stylish. A little understaffed but not surprising for Jun2. Very quiet and comfortable and quaint.
