On a very damp Saturday afternoon my fiance and I came across The Bell at Boxley on the internet and decided to call up and see if we could get a last minute room and brighten our weekend and Im so glad we did! The staff were polite and attentive, the room was quite large, clean and warm and the... More

Very friendly and helpful staff, wonderful food. A little haphazard at breakfast, no menu, just asked what do you want? Good clean well furnished room, tiny en-suite though. Dogs very welcome, even had doggie biscuits left in room. Outside was a little tired, but dont be put off. Owners with a big heart and tried hard to make our stay... More

Everything was perfect...welcome warm and generous. Rooms comfy and quiet. Staff wonderful, did everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxed. Cannot praise the food enough...everything we ate was superb, in particular the black pudding and duck egg starter! Can't wait to go again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

I visited on Easter Sunday for lunch with the family. The food was top notch - I had a mango and haloumi salad followed by a generous Sunday roast chicken with all the trimmings. It was all great and special mentions go to the massive Yorkshire pudding which melted in the mouth and the gravy which was delicious. I noticed... More

A fantastic pub and inn with country charm in a tiny quaint English village but with all mod cons including free wifi. I will be going back there. Rooms are cosy and well appointed. Generous tea and coffee and biscuits in the room. Dinner menu was varied and food very tasty. Friendly and accommodating staff. We felt immediately at home.... More

On the way to see a new farmshop, we passed through Boxford and decided to drop in and see what was on offer. We've eaten at the Bell before and have never been disappointed by the food. It was a pretty dreary day and the place was empty when we arrived but the bar was warm and there were papers... More

I have been to this pub for years now and love it such a lovely country pub with the locals . I grew up in Boxford and its a stunning place to visit lovely walks and scenery. Theres not alot in Boxford other than a wonderful country pub and a church and a village hall, but when there is such... More

Nice terrasse and place looks nice from outside. Friendly staff but.... Got a rotten orange juice at breakfast, maybe it was bad luck! 1st degree burning hot water, shower faucets broken. They were kind enough to give me another room but gave it back to another customer 2h later ! Don't drop anything on the floor or you will see... More
