The Bell Hotel

Really bad experience. This review is regarding the hotel stay - did not eat at the pub - and it was a very poor experience and would not visit again. The experience was terrible from first impression to room facilities and staff. When trying to check in, we were completely ignored and left to stand in corner of the busy pub with our luggage. When eventually shown to our room, on first impression the room looked great value for money with modern amenities (£90/night ensuite with additional £10 pp for breakfast) - we dropped our luggage and headed out about town. However, in reality when we came back to the room in the evening it was horrible. The window was sealed shut so no air, no fan, the TV did not work, and there was no wifi. Tried to contact someone via phone, no answer, walked around the hotel/pub at 10.45 pm, no one available on site or via phone. Real concern for safety with no emergency contact - lack of TV/internet not an emergency, but a break-in could have been and no way to report it. The room, no 7, had a large gap under the door so could hear everything in hall and neighbouring rooms. Also, the bed linens extremely poor synthetic and scratchy. Worst nights sleep in a B and B that I've ever experienced. I understand that the hotel was recently refurbished, however, should not be charging the price when services are not yet available and while safety on site is at risk. I have tried repeatedly to contact the hotel via phone to discuss concerns but never get an answer, phone just rings out with no VM. Worst customer service I've experienced and would definitely say a big NO to anyone considering booking this hotel.

Change of ownership since our last visit but the welcome was as good. The breakfast arrangements were modified as their kitchen was being upgraded. We breakfasted across the road and were reimbursed the bill. It was our 50the anniversary and we were treated very well with glasses of Prosecco to keep us in the mood. All in all excellent sojourn.

Lovely cottage, very cosy. Just at the back of the pub. Very quiet , nice pub and Chinese takeaway is a 2 minute walk. Local bus service also good if you don’t want to drive. Massive garden, would definitely go again

Stayed in a triple room with my 2 little grandkids n it was excellent. Very clean n tidy, lovely comfy beds. Breakfast was excellent n plentiful. Would really recommend, doubt you'll find the same quality for the same price.

we stayed at the bell double room for a two night stay.the place was buzzing food offered good quality and reasonably priced room was clean with comfortable beds.we do recommend the bell.it does have the benefit of off road parking too.

I would like to say we stayed at the Bell on Saturday night, and it's was very nice and clean and cosy, staff was very nice too , breakfast was wonderful very hot and big , and staff was very helpful asking if we need any more, we would stay here again
