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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

Great spot for relaxing in Bermuda
Pretty neat place. Everybody seems to know the place and the owner. Five fruit trees on the property. Super relaxing beach across the street and good food at the end of the block. Couldn’t have been happier was traveling with my parents, wife, and two teenagers

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!

Outstanding experience
Let me start by saying , Ben , you were an amazing host , made us feel relaxed and at home from the minute we saw the open door welcoming us . The property was stunning and the wild mix of vegetation with its blooming flowers, made it it feel like a botanical gardens . The village was charming , easy access to transportation , people were very friendly. The beach was lovely for swimming on hot days . We loved Bermuda and really hope to return again to your house and your wonderful hospitality again .

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!

Really Lovely Stay
We spent a lot of time at 9 beaches, about a 10 minute walk down the lane to the old resort next door. Lovely period house and wow, big property, seems to be some farming going on. We saw fresh fruit on the trees. Will come back we think.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
Hey guys, glad you enjoyed the property and the beaches. Hopefully I will have some fresh fruit or garden veggies for you next time. Avocados will be ripe in October, and we have the big coconut sized ones that are smooth and creamy and to die for!!. I keep a knife, spoon and salt shaker under the tree.

Just beautiful, historic Bermuda house. Steps from several sweet beaches, easy ride to Dockyard (or anywhere else on the islands!), lots of room, wonderful hosts. We spent hours on the veranda, just soaking it all in. All 9 of us would highly recommend!! Katey Bircher

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

A pleasant stay
We booked the "Belfield Estate" for a family destination wedding. The house was well equipped and comfortable. We spent every evening outside, enjoying the outdoor living area. The house was convenient to everything. It is a short walk to the grocery store, the bus, the beach across the street as well as Cambridge Beaches resort, where we enjoyed the restaurant and Oleander cycles (where we rented scooters). Ben was great and even helped out with some coffee on the first night since the stores were closed when we arrived. Everyone at the house had a great time and agreed we would rent it again should we come back to Bermuda.

Great.Our family of three generations including babies really love the estate. Hope to come back.
I love nature and there are beautiful fruit trees, flowering bushes, papaya, banana trees all around the house. The picture of the house in VRBO doesn't serve the justice because the inside of the house from comfort to decor is up to date. The house location is great for young kids. Next to the park with play ground and beach. A short walk to the market and close to the world best horseshoe beach.

A week at Belfield Estate
Our stay at Belfield Estate for our family gathering of nine, from a todler of three to the Old Man of 70 (me) was just right, and a pleasure, for all of us. What a location, what a house (and cabin) with character and history, and with excellent modernizations that made our stay quite comfortable, and what a fine owner/manager of property in Mr. Ben Fairn. This was our first visit to Bermuda, and we hope to return—and to Belfield Estate—some day.
