Nice size room and bed/bedding. Very noisy property (probably due to age), woke a few times during the night. The shower was pathetic and not really usable. Breakfast served from 0900 on a weekday makes this property unsuitable for business stays. Car park in poor state with fencing fallen down, making it unaccessible. Staff were friendly and provided muesli and yoghurt in place of missed breakfast.

A little expensive how ever when the meal was delivered to the table it was value for the price, the Bell burger was a massive beef burger with bacon chutney lettuce and tomatoes 🍅 with a large amount of French 🍟, the Bell has disabled access the only proble we found was the car park was on the other side of a very busy main road

The room were well appointed and stepped in history but the breakfast left a lot to be desired.The Bell is mid-range and quaint but although breakfast is included in the price be careful to read the small print. One normally expects the start with juice and cereal, followed by the cooked brakfast and ending with toast accompanied by a hot drink. Not here it is not. You get one choice and everythoing else is extra. Same with drinks. If you want juice then you pay for the hot drink and it is not cheap.

Went last year and all was great (apart from being charged twice). This year food was disgusting thanks to Chefs not being there. They should have said rather than serving up muck cooked but someone who had no clue! She was invariably outside smoking and on her electronic device. Parking is impossible due to the fact that anyone uses the carpark, which is supposed to be for customers. Staff made alot of excuses and they said prices are increasing in August this year. Room not cleaned or replenished with tea etc and we stayed 3 nights. I emailed the hotel with my concerns but have had no response whatsoever. No excuse for rudeness. The Bell inn has really gone downhill.

Ridiculously overpriced for a dull and poorly managed property.
The room was fine, which redeemed the situation. Noise from bar below until late. Low ceilings and steep narrow stairs to get to the room.
No breakfast served until 9.00 am although we had to be away from the place by 7.00am. Still charged with no offer of compensation.
Would not stay again and suggest others do the same.

Me and my family have been to this restaurant quite a few times and never disappoints. There roast dinners are absolutely amazing! They have vegetarian options too, as I am a veggie. I always get there nut roasts and is very delicious. I recommend this restaurant for couples and families, you won’t be disappointed! :) Also the staff are very polite and lovely!

Room was fabulous. Obviously recently renovated. Spotlessly clean too with everything to a very high standard. Bed very comfortable. Could not fault this place. And meals were excellent too especially the steak and ale pie. Breakfast porridge was outstanding. Only minor issue is that breakfast only starts at 9 am. A little late for us. But that’s just a minor issue for this brilliant hotel.
