On Friday 11th nov I attended a help the heros charity event the brainwave of a hotel staff member . And I must congratulate all concerned it was a brilliant evening all round from the organisers to the food and service, the entertainment 1st class fancy dress hilarious and look foreward to next years event. Well done Sue and family. You did the boys and girls PROUD .

My wife an I stayed one night at this hotel. The room was very good (it was not in the main building but across the car park) and excellent bathroom and decor. It looked recently completed and was being maintained very well. Reception and check-in was very good, including the receptionist showing us to our room. We ate in the restaurant (1640?) which was also good. The service was a touch informal at the price (£90 for a meal for two including wine). The food was good and creatively prepared. The general ambience of the hotel was pleasant.

This is a hotel that presumably does a lot of business with parties/groups/weddings etc. On the night we stayed there were two functions, including a disco to 1pm which disturbed my sleep. I think we had been put in a room as far away from the music as possible, for which we were grateful, but it was still a disturbance. It also meant that the hotel was loud and not especially
relaxing on the previous evening.

So if you are looking for a quiet weekend away this may not be the rightplace - perhaps check if there is a function on. That said, the quality of the food and accommodation is high and he staff provided a good service, so overall pretty good.

Its not the first time I have stayed at the Bell for business over night stops. The service is first class, breakfast and restaurant is very good , beer good , rooms and shower good and the interior surrounds are just wonderful. When you are away from home and family it means everything to be well looked after. What makes it different ? ; and the one thing that makes you want go back to the same place ? its got to be the welcoming staff.
Wonderful Stay only just too brief.

My lovely boyfriend booked a 2 night stay for my birthday, and after looking at the website and reviews we had high expectations! We cant afford to get away often and when we do its so important to us that its special. Thanks to the amazing staff team at Ye Olde Bell it was exactly that! We were given an excellent mid week deal and very kindly upgraded to the most amazing room! The hotel renovation is just beautiful, very tasteful, cosy, and spotlessly clean. The hotel has a really relaxed, informal, welcoming atmosphere and great for spending time drinking lots of red wine by the open fire! All the staff are friendly, attentive and make you feel at ease. The food at the restaurant and the bar is a very high standard, and well worth a try. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone, whether its business or pleasure I've no doubt that you will not be disappointed. Such a well run hotel in every way.Thanks to all the staff for making our stay so memorable, your attention to detail really shines through.
