Historic Belfield Beach Estate on Long Bay Beach-Close to Everything

Belfield Estate is a 230+ year old Bermuda stone and Cedar framed historic remodelled house which is famous for the discovery of The Belfield Rose, which had been missing for years was found in 1956. It sits next to Long Bay beach, and park, so a 30 sec walk across the lane past a playground will put you on the beach. Nature reserves on both sides with more than two acres of property with banana and fruit trees, this historic Bermuda property is a taste of old Bermuda. Nine beaches, a 10 min walk with many small beaches is ideal for a private day and beach picnic with few people around. Located on Daniels head, the water is shallow and clear and ideal place to spend the day. Grocery and liqour stores are a 2 min walk, Its close to grocery various take out restaurants"Pomodoro" "Mr Chicken" 'Trini Spice" also in the same area. Bus and ferry stops all very close by so you can get to south shore beaches and Hamilton easily. Walking or jogging the railway trail up to Fort Scaur with 360 views of the island is breathtaking, and the smallest draw bridge in the world, Somerset bridge just beyond that. Historic Dockyard and all its restaurants, shops and ferries is a westerly walk, or jog and also home to the famous Frog & Onion Pub in the old stone built fort of 1860, and its great for lunch or dinner. So lots to do and places to go and see, or you can just relax and watch the Turquois sea from the porch.

Best Times Bermuda
The host greeted us and stopped by on occasion to make sure all was well. The house was rustic and comfortable with all the amenities. Located close to a food mart and bus stop. It was within walking distance to restaurants and water sports. Our family had a great time and plan to return.

Brief pre holiday break
Our family wanted a short mini vacation before the holidays. Since there was 2 young children, the estate worked well for us. Thanks to the owner recommendations for a driver and chef the time was well spent.

Destination Christmas
My sisters and I were looking for a unique place to spend christmas and we chose Bermuda rather randomly. Having never been there, we did not know what to expect. Ben answered all of our questions before and during our trip. The house was quaint, cozy and absolutely perfect for us. We would highly recommend this property and hope to be able to stay again in the future.

60th Anniversary Celebration
We had a great visit & stay at Belfield. Ben couldn’t have been more responsive, friendly & helpful. The house is historic, quaint & cozy. It is well equipped in all ways from towels & linens to the kitchen. Lots of space to enjoy outside from the morning coffee patio to the evening sitting area. Cottage is private and good if someone needs to do some work. Easy walk to well appointed grocery store. Beaches are also walkable and nice. Bus stops & railway trail are very close by. Overall a beautiful property.

Loved almost everything
Loved the house. The guest house. The location. All the beach toys they have. You could hit a golf ball into the ocean from the yard. You walk through a little park that has a big playground for little kids on that beach the most crowded it was were eight people Down to none. Right down the street from a convenience store and the grocery store which is by the bus stop. It is far from the airport, but other than that the location is great not far from the ferry. Only one problem and that’s the mice and Bugs. So long as you keep your food in the refrigerator or microwave and you don’t mind seeing a mice here or there then you’re fine.

Lovely home and plenty of space.
It was perfect for our family of 9. The beach was perfect for us to walk to. We enjoyed the nature sanctuary. We were just not prepared for the very noisy frogs at night. The windows in the guest house are not very strong and did not block the sound as well as the main house. We would have loved sound proof windows but we now realize people of Bermuda just enjoy the music of those frogs. Ben was very nice to work with. Thank you.

Beautiful home, area and people!
Our extended family stayed here, 6 adults and 2 children, and were extremely comfortable in Ben's home. The house had everything we could have asked for and we especially loved the yard and outdoor spaces. The beach pretty much in the backyard had some great snorkeling, and the proximity to Daniel's Head made for a great day trip as well, at both beaches we were pretty much the only ones there. The supermarket and bus stop being a quick walk away made it very convenient for us to get around the island. We loved the quite neighborhood where Ben's home is situated, with lower crowds, while also being a quick walk and bus ride to the more busy areas of the island. Ben's house is also very close the start of the railtrail which we had a blast riding all the way into Hamilton. Ben was close by and always willing to stop by and answer any questions we had, a great host! We would highly recommend Ben's house to anyway thinking of having an amazing Bermuda getaway. Take Care, The Willards

Beautiful Property - Beautiful Bermuda
Our family included 6 adults and 1 & 3 year old. Ben was very responsive and Liz was wonderful & met us and explained things & to let her know if we needed anything. The house& cottage bedrooms were great. The grounds were so pretty and expansive. The beach was across the side street as well as the playground which my granddaughters loved! Unfortunately (this has nothing to do with the property ) the beach was covered in broken glass pieces. Using the bus was quite easy to get to your destinations. My few drawbacks I feel compelled to mention (given the price) The floors/carpets were unacceptably filthy…..we had 2 toddlers who like to play on the floor. The high chair was past its prime & very dirty and needs to be replaced if it is being advertised. There was no outdoor grill (an Old George Foreman) which we had planned on using extensively & the outdoor seating had to have towels on the chairs. They look charming but are too weathered for continued use. Please don’t misunderstand, We had a wonderful time! These items are quite easy to remedy.

Reunion in BDA
Belfield was a good spot for a large group reunion. It was great fun. We had people from different countries and all age groups. Most stayed at the house. Others, from a sailboat, came to eat and get together. It was easy for us to come and go on independent schedules. The grounds are big and fun to explore. Lots of birds and wildlife. Some of us worked... good WiFi etc. We found a few surprises, like an oven that didn't work very well and under-performing a/c in two bedrooms. We all wanted more shutters open for a brighter interior. They didn't move easily. Local residents startled us, taking shortcuts thru the yard space, walking and on bikes.. Getting around in the house challenged a mobility impaired group member, with many floor height transitions, and no handrails around the back steps and patio. Sadly, there was quite a lot of broken glass in the water at the nearby beach tho the sand and park were better cared for than on past visits to that part of the island. Local beach-goers wore protective foot gear in the water at a lot of the smaller beaches. Plan ahead for taxis. They were hard to arrange this year. Bermuda is a special place... enjoy your visit.

Ideal house for a family gathering
Belfield beach property is a great house for a multi family gathering. There was ample space to spread out and enjoy activities with different groups. Ben is a wonderful, responsive host. The kitchen was well equipped to handle food preparation for the 11 of us throughout the week. The house is well stocked with amenities. The Marketplace supermarket is a 4 minute walk and was really convenient. We also enjoyed the excellent pizza from Lil Pompadora. Great location for beach and exploring and easy to get bus into hamilton or other beaches..

Extended family trip in a beautiful spot
We couldn’t have loved the historic Belfield Estate more. It was walkable to a beautiful beach that was a perfect speed for our littles (aged 2-6) and convenient to other areas on the island. Ben was very responsive and a joy to rent from. We loved every minute.

Magical Location
We returned to Belfield Estate after 4 years and fell in love again. This rustic historic home comfortably housed 6 adults and a young family of 4 in the cottage. The grounds are magnificent and the park and beach are right next door. Do not miss the sunsets from the beach! We walked several evenings up to Cambridge Beach resort for dinner. Ben was wonderful and brought us extra beach chairs, toys and shade for our grandchildren. This is truly a very special location!

Great pandemic getaway!
Beautiful old estate half block from a great beach. Short walk to grocery and some casual restaurants. Short walk to H2O Sports for boat rental and a nice 20 min walk to the ferry to Hamilton. South beaches were amazing (easy bus ride). Some restaurants and shops around the island were closed due to pandemic and the Covid testing was not a blast...but overall Bermuda and Belfield House made for a great vacation!

Family Outing @ Belfield in Februrary
What an excellent time all 8 in our party had at Ben's Belfield Estate. Would definitely stay here again! Everything we needed was already provided or easily obtained within walking distance. The house and grounds are splendid! What tropical paradise! We did have a few issues. Ben had to leave the island to attend to family issues, and for a couple of days before our arrival our communications went unanswered until I called. That was abit unnerving, but once we chatted, all was well. Also, four of the room HVAC systems were not functioning when we arrived, along with the oven and clothes dryer. Ben (and Liz) were quick to respond, and the repair men fixed what they could, as some were not fixable and instead need to be replaced at a future time. We had some bedroom and bathroom windows without blinds, missing shower curtains, and non functioning bathtub drain plugs, but all of those seemed to be work-in-progress and we were able to improvise. We left Ben a note for some of the things we found that needed minor repairs. Still a 5 star experience despite this!! We know that all old properties need constant TLC. Thank you Ben and Liz for your hospitality and we hope to see you guys down the road for another one of our future road trips! Happy trails!
