Blue Bell Inn & Restaurant

Blue Bell Inn & Restaurant
 

The original Blue Bell Inn was built in 1829 and was then known as the "Bluebell Inn of Scotland". This was a single storey wooden building that boasted 17 rooms and a ballroom and was the centre of social life in the district.

After a fire in 1863 destroyed the original building, the Blue Bell Inn was rebuilt of convict brick and sandstone as a two-storey building. A ballroom was incorporated upstairs in the new building. The construction included the use of huon pine, oregon, blackwood and cedar timber.

The building has had a very interesting history. It has been an inn, a maternity hospital, private residence, and in WW1 the ballroom was used as a drill hall. In 1984 the Blue Bell Inn was classified under the National Trust of Australia. An old willow tree in the garden is also classified by the Trust.

The present inn now consists of 5 guestrooms, all with private facilities, the ballroom is used as the guest lounge.

The Blue Bell Inn is a no smoking establishment.
