Or, more generally, 'character' is a good one. I also know a ringer who
would describe bells as 'pretty', much to the amusement of those in the
know, who were aware that what he actually meant was 'pretty crap'.

If the bells are so bad that it isn't possible to make any vaguely
favourable comment (e.g. Cothelstone, Staple Fitzpaine), then it might be
possible to deflect attention if asked what you think of them by commenting
on the church, village, etc.
