We have had a wonderful experience here at The Bell Hotel. We couldn’t have asked for more helpful, willing and personable staff during our stay. The hotel itself felt fresh, clean, modern and homely with some beautiful artwork throughout. I am gluten free and the staff and menu couldn’t be more accommodating for the fact! They even went to buy GF bread at breakfast as they had run out. Fantastic service. With plenty of activities and sites nearby to visit, it’s an ideal town to stay in too. We only stayed for one night but would certainly come again. Thank you to all of the team- it’s been a pleasure!

A nice, cosy pub/hotel. A warm welcome and great service throughout our stay; this is a great base to travel around the villages of Suffolk, although if you are planning to spend most of your time along the coast, we would recommend you base yourselves in Southwold.

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.

what can I say, this hotel is a little gem. on check in you get a really lovely warm friendly welcome. I had the cosy double which was more than adequate in size for me. it was very clean, the bed was very comfortable with a lovely quilt and nice pillows the shower was a large size. the bar itself is only small but there is other rooms that you can sit in so not a problem with prices comparable to most other hotels. once again all staff very helpful and friendly which is unfortunately a bit lacking in some hotels but definitely not in this one

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
