“Much, much too good for it's official star rating”
Date of review: 9 Apr 2011
The Bell Rock is a classic example of where traditional star ratings, based on lifts (elevators), 24 hour porterage etc completely miss the point. If you like the ethos of the Scillies then you'll find this hotel perfect. It blends the best aspects of a traditional seaside hotel with high service standards. Our children are 11, 9 and 8 - they loved the generous breakfast, setting them up for a day in the open air. Dinner choices were adequate with some interesting nods to modern cuisine - decent and reasonably priced wine list. All food fresh, well prepared and attractively presented. Rooms clean and equipped wholly in line with price and style of hotel. I'd far rather stay here than most of the 5 star hotels in which I spend too much time!
