Warm island hospitality

Bell Island, Canada

Your 'Overseas' Adventure Awaits !

Welcome to the historic Belle of the Bay Inn. Enjoy sweeping views of Conception Bay from this romantic retreat located on beautiful Bell Island, only 20 minutes and a short scenic ferry ride from nearby St. John's. Many Newfoundlanders teasingly refer to a trip to Bell Island as going "overseas"

The Belle of the Bay Inn, a former Sisters of Mercy Convent, has been lovingly renovated and updated to a four star bed and breakfast inn. With it is the special charm and warm island hospitality to make your visit a memorable one. At the Belle there are eight rooms, a licensed Belle's Cafe & Bistro, gift shop, and electric bicycle rentals. A place with all the comforts you need to relax as part of your island visit.

Whether as a first time visitor or someone who keeps coming back to explore the island's many charms, there is something special for you. The island has a wonderful mix of attractions - its history as the Iron Isle, its role during World War II and the Battle of the Atlantic, the music of Harry Hibbs, and its growing place as a sports and recreation centre.
