Not really a hotel, a pub with rooms! We stayed in room 6, for some reason it was incredibly hot although on first view the room was very pleasant. I tried to open the window but was unable to on the first night, managed to do so on the second night, but then there was a lot of road noise! There was a lot of condensation on the window that could not be opened and black mould as well! I mentioned this to the chambermaid who told me she cleaned the mould off every week? And also that because of it being a conservation area double glazing was not allowed. I would have thought that secondary double glazing and air conditioning would be a solution both to the condensation and road noise. In addition the floor of the shower wasn't draining properly. The staff were all very pleasant but I was expecting more for the price we paid!

It was a wonderful stay at the Bell Hotel. It was our first time at this hotel and we wanted to explore the coastal towns of Suffolk, the location was perfect. The room was excellent, very well decorated and furnished, the bed was very comfortable and the shower room was large and clean. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. We were able to chill out in the bar and enjoy an afternoon tea and read, there is also another lounge area in the next room. The food was excellent, we had wonderfully cooked breakfasts and evening meal, the Chef produces excellent creative food. We will be going back for another stay.

Had dinner at The Bell and it was great. They also welcomed our 2 little dogs in the restaurant and provided water & biscuits (plus lots of fussing) for them. I had the pork belly, which was so tender and very tasty. My other half had the burger which was huge! Only small biggie was the onions rings were a little greasy, other than that no complaints. Deserts was incredible, bitter chocolate & orange tart and a passion fruit cheesecake. The staff were very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back

I have stayed here several times over the last couple of months and always find it to be a very nice hotel with great staff who are always very helpful and attentive. The food is also great and the rooms comfortable. All in all an enjoyable place to stay.

A wonderful mini stay at The Bell Hotel. We visited a couple of years ago and it has now been fully refurbished. We had a very comfortable room with beautiful furnishings. Breakfast was included, a buffet with juices and cereal and options for a cooked breakfast all included in the tariff as we booked direct. And the sun came out this morning.

Sadly leaving this review after a really disappointing dinner out. Service was poor and borderline rude, food was worse - £10 for overcooked squid with a bit of mayo - cold vegetables, corked wine, steak so tough you couldn’t cut it, not that we were given a steak knife to use anyway, items missing from the £35 steak option and a mushroom sauce that was basically oil with mushrooms floating in it. Gutted, have been looking forward to coming here for ages. What a disappointment.
