Lovely to find the room so… ‘just so’!! An enjoyable stay…

2nd time staying here lovely period properly with lovely sitting areas with burning fire

Got there really late and all good

A lovely and with lots of character I really enjoyed last day

Warm,cosy and friendly. Food is exceptional Rooms are warm and cosy. Staff are second to none just had a refurbishment very nice. Unsure about check-in location as its in the open restaurant and i felt i was checking in in a Costa coffee but overall it was excellent.

Lovely room, super helpful staff, easy parking, great home-made food in the restaurant for dinner. Not so good - Bathroom with zero character (so different to the bedroom), breakfast was bland and average at best. Nothing of any interest within walking distance. Overall a solid 8/10 and worth a stay.

Easy to find and plenty of parking spaces free. Really clean and comfortable room. The Nespresso coffee maker came with instructions and there was a good choice of herbal teas. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The shower was powerful and provided a stable temperature. There was a good selection of toiletries. The evening meal of pork shoulder and vegetables was top quality as was breakfast the following morning. I had a full English but also loved the wide variety of nuts, seeds and dried fruits available.

Arrived just before 8pm,. no one at reception but made aware a member of staff was on the phone. Left waiting for some time while she chatted to her area manager about work and holidays!! Not a great start! Room ok, cold but clean, coffee machine was a bonus, bathroom small, plastic shower curtain. Sat in the bar, shared some small plates and coffee, pleasant atmosphere. In the morning staff very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast, cereals and cooked breakfast. No fresh fruit, offered a green banana!!

The staff are fantastic and the food delicious. Also good choice of wines, beers etc. Only downside accessibility - steps making it awkward for those with mobility issues.

This is a lovely hotel, staff were lovely too.

Absolutely lovely room with plenty of amenities. The food was delicious at dinner and it’s been such a lovely stay. Highly recommended

Lovely old traditional hotel, full of character. Dinner very good and breakfast superb. Friendly and helpful staff too.

Hotel, staff, food, all excellent

We had a very enjoyable stay and were happy with all the aspects of our time at The Bell

Very nice property with an old world feel. Every public room had an historical ambience about it. Very cosy and a great place to stay.

Great room,excellent service and lovely food

Great location off A1 for a stopover. Excellent staff, very welcoming. Comfortable room but walls very thin, could hear everything from next door. Lovely evening meal and breakfast. Good value.

Friendly staff, comfortable room, nice hotel building, good food

Very nice for a one night stay. The hotel could do with more staff as had to wait ages to check in and ended up going to the bar to see if anyone was there. Also very slow at breakfast but again this was because there were only two members of staff and they were run off their feet. The room interior was excellent though with plenty of space.
