Bel’s Inn

It’s the home you’ve always wanted. Old world charm, comfy, and tastefully decorated. Delicious full breakfast, fresh squeezed oj, great smelling linens, quiet, and a hop skip & jump away from the charming riverfront. Bel is beyond accommodating, gracious, and knowledgable about Kingston and Woodstock. She’s so cool and friendly she even took me to a block party happening down the street from her She has created a truly magical oasis and I cannot wait to return or give a gift certificate to my mom for the wkend.

Bed but no breakfast.
We stayed in colonial Kingston for a conference and planned on staying for 3 nights, however we soon realized how terrible a host Bel, the innkeeper was.
Upon arrival Bel assumed we drove to Kingston. I’m not sure why this assumption was made as there is a train station in the neighboring town which takes you directly to Manhattan. Rather than giving us the room we agreed upon via telephone, she put us in a creepy room not attached to the same building: actually it which was several blocks away from the main inn. Because we had no car, she squeezed us into her filthy pick-​up truck and dropped us off and rushed out. No mention of what time and where breakfast was served.
We were not provided any breakfast the morning after our first night’s stay and she did not answer her phone around 7:00 a.m. when we wondered about this. This was confusing as the inn is marketed as a «Bed and Breakfast». We found our own breakfast and went on with our day. When we returned to our room in the evening, our room was not made. It was shocking as this is standard practice among the hotel industry regardless of whether you stay at a lower end BnB or at a high-​end hotel. By then we were disgusted at how unprofessional she was and thus we told her we would only stay 2 nights (over 24 hours notice).
By the second morning we called her inquiring about breakfast a second time. She simply replied by saying «well I can feed you if you want». How unprofessional and unwelcoming. Why run an inn if you do not want to welcome your guests?
Although we gave her over 24 hours notice of our departure (again, the standard in the hotel industry) Bel still unjustly charged us for the third unused night. She also failed to give us our receipt, and we had to ask her 5 times for it. Only 3 days post-​departure did we receive the receipt. After reviewing my banking, she had actually already charged the room prior to check-​in.
I would recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

Bel’s Inn is both beautiful and comfortable. Bel makes the most delicious breakfasts every morning and is so pleasant and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here! We had a wonderful stay.

This place is absolutely beautiful and the hostess Bel, is just an absolute joy and goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and have a lovely time. Felt like a long lost friend I’ve had for years. Great, kind, gentle, beautiful soul the owner of the house is.
Coming from Boston, I arrived to this beautiful Victorian with a huge lovely porch which is very tastefully decorated. The whole house is clean, smells amazing great décor, and Bel cooks one of the loveliest breakfasts. Omelette, coffee, juice, and granola/​fruit/​yogurt, turkey bacon. A++++ hostess!
My room had a king poster board bed and one of the comfiest mattresses I’ve ever slept on. I can’t say more good things about this place. But if you want a nice place to hang your hat, where you make a friend in the end Bels inn is where it’s at.
Excellent service, she’s knowledgable about the town and places to go. It’s the perfect getaway to de-​stress and unwind meet amazing people and enjoy life, what was exactly what I needed.
The prices are very reasonable and worth every penny! I’ll be back very soon! My new home away from home!

Awesome Location, If you like to walk, you can to the nearby restaurants and shops. Large, cozy country house filled with beautiful romantic decorations and antiques. Classic hospitality, Bel is very accomodating and made our stay most enjoyable. Every room had its own personality with a certain amour-​centric charm, very elegant. Breakfast was great and healthy. I would definitely recommend to family and friends and we can’t wait to return.

Had a wonderful stay at Bel’s Inn on a recent trip to Kingston.
The property is very charming and beautifully decorated with a big front porch, and it is walking distance to all the restaurants and activities along the riverfront.
The rooms were very comfortable and we really enjoyed the breakfast too… an omelette and granola with yogurt and sauteed bananas.
The owner, Bel, is a very talented hospitality natural who really makes her guests feel at home. She even won first prize at a recent chili cookoff! Highly recommended.
