“Great Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Just returned from our weekend break in Thetford, the hotel rooms do need a bit of a refurb, however the bed was very comfy and the bathroom clean. tea making bits in the room etc.
This hotel has a nice little bar area and we ate our evening meal in the lounge. Food was good and cheap.Breakfast also had plenty of choice and again was very good.
What makes this place special is the staff, the could write a book on customer service, cant praise them enough.

“Great staff, shame the rooms are in need if updating”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Booked in last minute and I must say the staff were ultra helpful/ friendly. The bar is nice and provides decent food/ service but the hotel is in need of updating (I stayed in the more modern part). They are adequate, but it was below par. Would consider staying again.

Me and my partner stayed in the Bell INN while visting Family in the area, I thought the hotel was lovely, the staff were very friendly,
our room was lovely and the bed was very comfy. The breakfast was nice, the service was a little slow, but there was fruit and ceral to help yourself to while you are waiting.
I will defiantly be stopping there again while visiting family.

“New Year Gala”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Don't understand comments of beauty66!! DJ had placed music request slips on all the tables and I know several people who completed these. I know that several of the requests were met by the DJ. Why would she have put out these slips if she had no intention of playing requests. I think the beauty 66 comments were inaccurate and unfair.

“The Keough's + family + friends Xmas 2011”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

We unanimously agree the 'Bell' staff and management (and quaint character of the hotel) helped to make this Xmas get-together a really memorable one - and likely to be repeated at some future date!

Room Tip: Check the suitability of the rather steep/narrow/winding stairs if climbing more than one flight is...
