Clean friendly staff who helped us after we were delayed some 5 hours by traffic. shower and bathroom were super, tea coffee and bottled water supplied.

room 1 has a mattress that needs replacing! my shoulders and hips are sore as the springs have gone. it felt like I was laying on the divan alone. I also know the hotel cannot be responsible for local idiots but screaming and shouting in the street at half past midnight!!

You check in at the pub, but the rooms are in a building 2 doors down. They used key cards instead of keys. Breakfast is not included. The breakfast in the restaurant was bit pricey, but the quality was excellent. There is a plaque outside the building saying that Phil Vincent (designer and builder of the Vincent motorcycle) lived here (with his uncle) at one point. In the restaurant there is a large (approx 4' x 8') photograph of Rollie Free on a Vincent breaking a land speed record at Bonneville (wearing just a bathing suit, helmet, and slippers) in 1948.

It took a few minutes to get the attention of the staff in the pub, to check in. But once we got their attention it was fine. Location a bit out of the way, but easy to find.

The room was characterful. The bathroom modern, a good size and power shower. The bed was big and comfortable. Good to have onsite parking. The pub / restaurant was very popular so you would need to reserve for dinner but lively and good atmosphere. Polite, friendly staff.

Unfortunately, we found ourselves being locked out of the property in the early hours and the emergency number was not answered. Hopefully rectified but otherwise nothing to really complain about. Just be aware there area is fairly remote so would need a car to access other venues.

This is a lovely pub with rooms. The rooms are just opposite and you have to walk through the courtyard to get to the pub. The pub has a lovely country feeling and I would say probably one of the best eating locations I’ve been in for many years the food was 2nd to none The pub is a little bit small but nice and cozy. I would definitely and will be eating there again, plus the food was quite reasonable.

There’s nothing I didn’t like you know what you’re getting when you stay in a pub you understand that it’s not like an hotel very nice pub/hotel

The whole experience was very well managed and run. The staff were very helpful and very efficient and accommodating. The atmosphere was very genial throughout, the meal I had was very good and very good value. My room was clean and a good selection of drinks in the room. The homemade biscuits were delicious. The Wi-fi was excellent throughout the hotel, great for working after a long journey.

My only observation would be please look at better light blocking in the bedroom, the venetian blinds did not keep the light out from 4.00am and being a light sleeper it was a little disruptive but that it is all. Overall thank you I'll try to get back when I'm working in the area again.

Staff were very friendly and customer service orientated. Room was a good size and clean. Ate dinner in the restaurant, food and service was very good. Nice to see that the wine list did not take the micky in terms of pricing - most restaurants do. Breakfast was excellent.

The room we stayed in - Lady Hamilton - had a delightfully decorated bathroom but was very dark. Hard to have a shave in low overhead lighting and a mirror that is too far away. No shower cubical - Shower was in an open roll top bath - very stylish but not practical at all - found this quite annoying. would be lovely as a second bathroom in anybody's house, but not the principle bathroom in a hotel.

Staff were fab, the building and grounds was stunning.

It’s ashame breakfast or a small continental option wasn’t included. Breakfast at the venue took a long time. It was busy and a booking system could work better. We arrived at 930 and didn’t get drink or food order taken until 10am. Drinks arrived at 1020am nearly an hour from sitting down and food at 1035am. We then had to rush to eat and get back to check out as we were expecting to be back to our room by 1030 to do so.

Jackie from the hotel called in the afternoon to check that we were still coming and when we arrived she was at reception and was extremely helpful and also walked us to our room. The Bell Inn Hotel is a lovely place to stay and quite a quirky but such a lovely setup. We stayed in Room 3 above the breakfast room, and it was nice and quiet. The room was large and had a super king-size bed, which was very comfortable. The bar was great and very cosy with an open fire. In the morning we saw more of the hotel and its lovely gardens.

Only one thing and the kettle in our room didn't work.

The location was lovely and the room was very cosy. We were particularly impressed with the generously proportioned bathroom. (I have a dodgy knee and am wary of slipping, but the shower was very easy to step into and use.) All the staff were friendly and helpful and everything was well-organised. We had dinner near the bar and it initially seemed noisy, but it soon quietened down and our evening was very pleasant. The hotel was easy to get to by car and I'd recommend it for a romantic night away. However, if you wanted to stay for longer you'd have to venture a bit further afield, as the village is very small (I guess that's part of its charm though).

The dining area initially seemed quite noisy, although it quietened down and the setting was very atmospheric. We had no complaints about the bedroom, which was very cosy. It would however have been helpful to have a small unit next to the bed on either side.

We'd chosen to stay at the Bell because of its restaurant and it did not disappoint - well-prepared, imaginative food with cheerful and attentive service. The wine list was very fairly priced and made a welcome change from the generic lists so often encountered.

Our room had a Venetian-style blind at the window overlooking the courtyard. The courtyard's lights were on all night and the blinds let a lot of light in which impacted our sleep.
