Easy to find on Desford High Street, large car park, easy check in during pub opening hours. Rooms remote at rear of pub by beer garden with separate gated entrance if preferred. Room was a good size with large bed and nicely decorated and fitted. Bathroom huge by hotel standards with corner shower, roll top bath and twin sinks. Excellent cooked breakfast for £11. Room 4 (and its ground floor equivalent) are on the corner of the high street which was surprisingly busy from 6am. Double glazing may have helped reduce road noise. All things considered a pleasant stay and I would stay again.

An OK stay
Nice little village pub and lodge Had to wait approx 10 minutes to get the key as the barmaid was busy. The room itself was large, clean & comfy. Small TV on the wall which was fine. Wifi was very poor so much so I could not do any online work as the wifi kept dropping out. The water in my room was tepid and best in the shower and cold only at the sink Was a little mould at the base of the shower tray that could easily be removed. One thing I did find very annoying was the constant barking from a dog which I presum was a guest as it was in the guest lodge, All in all not a bad room that a few little alerations could make it a fab place.

Great value, comfy large room
Room was a really good size, lovely bathroom and adequate facilities. Being located on the same site as the pub was great and the food and drink on offer was both well priced and a great choice. The room offered excellent value for money. It would have been good if there had been a fan or similar to cool the room during the hot weather. Bathroom could do with an extractor fan.

This was a wonderful find, the lodges are separate from the main building, and having access to covered outdoor space was great. Sophie settled us in and sorted our enquiries regarding taxi booking etc. we enjoyed a lovely meal in restaurant and breakfast next morning was excellent. The room was spacious and the stand alone bath was amazing. The staff and manager and George were all helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be staying again

Unusual find
A very popular pub in this village, my room was in an outbuilding. My only complaint was that the room smelt damp. I did some work under the floorboards in my parents' very old house, and it smelt like that. I felt that if I stayed longer all my belongings would start to smell. I wonder if the outbuilding had been in a state of disrepair before being converted into rooms. The food was great, as was the atmosphere in the pub. Great price too.

The bedroom and bathroom were both large and very clean. There was no room service for the entire four day stay. In other words, litter bins not emptied, towels only changed after requesting, tea cups not washed, beds not made-up. No wardrobe or drawers. In fact room not visited for the stay. Room was also cold. The central heating had been playing up and the radiator in the bedroom only slightly warm. Radiator in bathroom very hot. Food excellent.

The Bluebell Inn is a proper traditional old style pub with lots of character and fun signage throughout. We have had a very pleasant stay with a delicious hot breakfast. We would come again and would definitely recommend.

One of the Best
Recently stayed for a family event, pub in a village, what do you expect? Certainly not this. This hotel is little gem. Beautifully designed, furnished and maintained comfortable room with large TV, wi-fi and a wonderfully powerful shower in a well sized cubicle, not a shoebox you can't turn round in. Add to this the well stocked bar in the pub, helpful, friendly staff and the great food in the restaurant makes this a wonderful place.

A Spider, a Marshmallow and a Missing Person
Lasting impressions were a huge spider in the bath tub, the bed was far too soft and provided little support and in the morning about 7.30am when I wanted to leave there was nobody around and the place was all locked up with nowhere to leave your key. I had to phone the number which wasn’t answered the first few times (I guess they were still in bed?!) and was finally told to just leave the room unlocked and leave the key in the room.

Happy Customer
My second stay at Bluebell was equally as good as the first. The rooms are separate from the pub which is nice as it means a quiet evening no matter what is going on in the bar. I recommend this hotel as the value is exceptional, location easy and convienient and the food excellent. I'll be staying again frequently I hope.
