We loved our spacious but cosy room
Apologies for the late review we thought we had completed this on our return. We booked a room for two nights whilst visiting family. This a regular trip we make every year but our first time of staying here. On arrival, shortly after the allocated check in time, we were greeted by a young lady at reception who showed us to our room - The Anne Boleyn suite. The room was spacious, clean and cosy with a very comfortable bed and a fantastic bathroom. We both slept well with no disturbance from neighbours or guests in the bar n restaurant downstairs. We didn’t eat here or try breakfast as it wasn’t included in our cost. We would definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Friendly and comfortable
Helpful, friendly staff in all areas; reception, bar and restaurant. The rooms were well appointed, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and there was a good choice of freshly prepared a la carte fare at a very reasonable price. The location is quiet, but has easy and convenient access to the A13 and A127. We would stay again.

We spent one night in this characterful and attractive pub, and found the staff and food to be really excellent. Our room was quirky and lovely, with a great bathroom. The only thing which we found disappointing, and the reason I didn’t give the hotel 5 stars, was the noise. When we were shown our room by the lady from reception, she brought us past a private party, which was being held in the conservatory area, and she explained that the party would be finished by 8.30pm. There was a DJ, and the music was extremely loud. Unfortunately, our room was right over this area, and not only could we hear the music from our room, but the whole room was vibrating to the sound, including the bathroom. We had driven quite a long way before our arrival, and had hoped to relax before going for a meal in the restaurant. On our return to our room later that evening, the party had indeed ended, and everything was peaceful, but we both felt that the room shouldn’t have been allocated to us when the noise levels and vibration were so high. It didn’t feel like a useable space for paying guests to inhabit. Whilst we would book at this hotel in the future, I would be making sure that I asked about any private functions in advance.

Comfortable with very helpful staff.
We stayed during the village's "Feast and Fayre" as we were the resident musicians for the weekend. Everyone at The Bell was incredibly helpful. The housekeeping staff went out of their way to work round our comings and goings, even offering to help us move our instruments. Reception allowed us to check out late, even moving other room allocations around. The room was immaculate and the food was excellent. The weather was exceptionally hot but with a fan provided as standard and with the blinds and shutters we were able to be comfortable. It's a lovely place to stay.

Really like the pub and hotel but wasn't advised the restaurant closed at 6pm on the Sunday I arrived so my planned dinner with a friend who lived local didn't take place. Would have helped if the receptionist had told me. Everything else was very good and one of the best breakfasts I've ever had

Cosy bedroom (No1) although the floor was a bit creaky but it is an old building. Luxury little toiletries. Plenty of tea & coffee making facilities. Biscuits were a nice gesture. Comfy bed. Spotless room, wish we could've stayed longer. Breakfast prices reasonable. Tasty bar snacks.
