This is a very old property with some low ceilings. The pub and restaurant seems to be very popular. The accommodation was spacious and very clean. The slopping floors make for some fun walks! Ideal for our requirements whilst visiting family and I would certainly come again.
Fantastic setting, outstanding food and a great service. Wouldn't hesitate on booking again when in the area.. actually would go out my way to book again.
Couldn’t be more accommodating, room surpassed expectations so clean and comfortable. Really happy. Food at breakfast was very generous and fresh, great portions. Will stay again
Fantastic old pub with great service, pub classics and a gourmet menu/specials.
Room quirky but fully equipped with tea & coffee making facilities as well as a mini fridge.
Option for granola, yogurt & fruit if leaving early before breakfast starts.
The only thing missing was a box of tissues which would have make it all the better for a hayfever sufferer
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.
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.
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.
We only stayed for one night, in the dog-friendly bedroom. We were very comfortable and enjoyed a very nice dinner in the bar. Breakfast was terrific.
Our dog was very happy too.
Would definitely stay again when in the area
The staff were very friendly and professional. The building is old and full of character including uneven floors! We stayed in the William Gull room which was lovely but the drains were a little smelly and there were stains on the carpet but the room was spotlessly clean. The breakfast was lovely!
For anyone who loves history like myself, choosing to stay at an old English Inn never disappoints. The Bell served up a very tasty Sunday roast dinner. I stayed in William Gull’s room which is full of character. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I loved every minute.
Hotel was fantastic, really clean, modern interior despite being a few hundred years old. Staff were great, really friendly. Room was really quiet even on the Saturday night. Definitely stay again.
