5 out of 5Great place to relax
August 03, 2012
We stayed in the Topaz room, July 31 and Aug 1 2012. The inn was immaculate despite having antique items all over the place - everytime you look you see something you didn't see before. The breakfasts were marvelous (be careful if you're trying to cut calories!) The innkeepers were wonderful and could tell you all about the history of the house; it was evident they cared very much about their place and paid attention to all the details of the inn and your stay there. I would recommend the place to anyone
5 out of 5A Great Deal
July 20, 2012
This was one of the more outstanding B&Bs we have stayed in. Carl and Cathy were wonderful inn keepers. They have lovingly restored a 1898 house to perfection. Our bedroom was very nice, the bed comfortable, the shower great. Cathy's breakfast was scrumptious. The Jeweled Turret is within walking distance of the shopping area of Belfast and we had a good dinner at Darby's. It was the best B&B of our vacation!

September 23, 2011
My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon fall 2010. When we travel we always stay at B&Bs and this is by far one of our favorites if not the best! We still talk foundly of our stay at the Jeweled Turret Inn. We also even hope to return someday even though we live in Iowa! Wonderful decor, rooms, service and great walking distance from the adorable downtown!

My husband and I have stayed in this inn, in the same room, for eighteen years and have absolutely never been disappointed. Both Cathy and Carl go out of their way to be kind and hospitable. The rooms are impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfasts are outstanding with every course made from scratch by Cathy or Carl. We begin to relax as soon as we turn into the driveway.

October 26, 2010
I wasn't sure what to expect because it was one of the last places available on short notice, but the innkeepers were awesome, food was fabulous, the room was great; especially the jacuzzi tub! We stayed in the Opal room. Belfast is a quiet town, not overly touristy which for us was a plus. A great get-away. The only reason I would not recommend this place is to keep the room available for us next year! We will return!!! Thanks Carl and Cathy, Bob & Krissy from MA.

My husband and I stayed at The Jeweled Turret Inn during the busy Columbus day weekend. It was only one night but it was great. The room was really clean and comfortable. The owners were very hospitable and easy going. The breakfast was amazing! We couldn't have asked for better!!!

Spent 2 nights and hope to return again. Everything was comfortable and inviting and breakfast was excellent! Carl and Cathy seem to have put their hearts into this home and are sharing it with everyone who stays with them.
