Belfry Inn and Bistro

We ate at the Bistro and it was excellent. The restaurant is very elegant and has a warm atmosphere. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. Our server was very efficient and friendly. We didn’t stay at the Inn so cannot comment on the rooms.

We stayed in The Pink Lady which is a Creaky old house, full of charm. A little tired and worn, but clean and comfortable and full of character. Staff were very friendly and helpful breakfast gave a good choice. There are 3 restaurants that are part of the hotel ‘The next door burger’, which is in ‘The pink lady house’, ‘The belfry’ and ‘The seal’, which are next door and a 2 minute walk. We ate in The Seal on our first night and it was so good we went back on our second night.

We ate at the Belfry restaurant and it was pretty underwhelming. To start with, the drinks were very weak. Had to send back the Mahattan for lack of liquor. The food was ok, but considering the price, it was not exceptional. With entrees on the mid/upper $40 range, we expected something more in flavor and presentation. Very nice atmosphere, good service, but the price/quality ratio was off.

The Belfry Inn and Bistro was the most charming property we have ever stayed at. It was historic and quaint and close to everything we wished to visit. We celebrated our anniversary with the most delicious dinner at the Bistro, and our service was above and beyond. The room was comfortable, the bathroom VERY NICE! The only drawback was that it was a challenge to get our 2 larger pieces of luggage up the narrow winding staircase to our 3rd floor room. We would definitely stay here again!!!

We booked the Martha room, and a dinner reservation for the Saturday evening of our stay. We chose it for the 2 person whirlpool tub and adequate sized (queen) bed in the room. Having whirlpool tubs in the rooms might suggest that its a "luxury hotel", and if you go into it expecting that, you might be disappointed. This is a set of owner run buildings with a unique and interesting style. I wouldn't call it second rate by any means, but this is more a B&B than a 'hotel". It has quirks. The room was in good condition, and the queen bed was comfortable. The whirlpool was pretty nice, but seemed to get cold faster than we expected (meaningless info really). The bathroom looked pretty standard when we arrived, but we discovered the window is stuck open and the winding mechanism on it had been broken. So we kept the bathroom door closed during our visit. The shower was expectedly small for a cape rental, and the shower-head wasn’t adjustable. Being a shorter gal, this made it difficult to shower without getting water in my eyes or to rinse off comfortably. Also, the shower kind of smelled like vomit, but was probably just soap scum or needed a cleaning (not that it was dirty, it looked fine). As an old house, there wasn’t much insulation or sound buffering between rooms, so having courteous neighbors across the hall can make or break a stay there. Our neighbors had rented several rooms and left their doors open talking loudly back and forth between them in the hallways almost all of the weekend, during the day. Thankfully they were quiet at night. There’s really nothing to be done about it, that’s just the chance you run staying in that building or on that floor at least. Additionally, the heating/cooling system were pretty slow acting in our room. For most of the time that we were there and not in the tub, it was too cold for my liking. We turned the heat up in the morning, and by nighttime it would have warmed up (when we actually wanted it cooler). No big deal, just a little annoying. What I can say for the painted lady is that it has a lot of personality, and the complimentary breakfast pastries were pretty good. Yogurt, bananas, cold cereal, hard boiled eggs and toast/bagels were also offered. Nothing hot, besides coffee. Standard complimentary breakfast. Friday evening, We were tired and didn’t want to travel out to have dinner, so we easily changed our dinner reservation at the bistro to that night. I can’t say enough good things about it. Our service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the former church turned bistro was beautiful, with ornate wood carvings, high ceilings, stained glass windows and a warm, quiet ambience. As a vegan often finding myself asking for menu accommodations at restaurants, I really appreciated the service and experience of dining there. Our waitor was ready for me when we arrived and told me what they could offer. It took some time to get our meals, but it didn’t seem overly so. We would both gladly stay

Belfry Inn was a wonderful stay. We were greeted by the friendly owner Chris. The continental breakfast had a variety of options, the burger restaurant offers more then just burgers along with cheerful staff ready to accommodate your every request. We stayed in the Williams room, it was nice to have separate rooms and bathrooms. The beds were incredibly comfortable, we slept very well. Thank you Chris for the lovely stay (and carrying very heavy luggage upstairs) Lisa & Shira

Restaurant has a elegant yet fun feel. Tables are spaced out nicely. Service was excellent. Cocktails were very good. Our meal was outstanding. We had wonderful local oysters. My wife had snapper and I had tuna. Both were creative, delicious and perfectly prepared. This was the best meal we have had in quite a while. We will return more often and highly recommend this for an evening of wonderful food and service in a nice setting.
