Stayed a couple of times
Pros:

This is a hotel and a pub, but the pub is in a different building so there is no noise. I have stayed in different rooms over different stays, no all are equal. Some are very tired, some have been refurbished, depending on what you choose. Very good breakfast with à la carte selection of hot food, with full English to healthy choices. Good pastries, fresh fruits. Staff is very welcoming.

Cons:

No a negative review just a word of warning. This is an old traditional hotel. Floors are squeaking, not straight, carpets can show some age, some bathrooms are very small… however it is clean, comfortable and functional.

We had a very pleasant experience
Pros:

All staff members we came in contact with were polite & friendly, had a nice meal in the restaurant on our first evening, breakfast was very nice on both mornings plenty of choice.

Cons:

Bathroom was compact, larger guests would struggle to get around the door. But it was adequate and you have to take into account the age of the building.

Another lovely stay at The Bell
Pros:

We've stayed here previously, the night before a work event, and I'd recommend for anyone looking for good value accommodation in the area. We were well looked-after by Alex and the package we booked via Booking.com (dinner, bed & breakfast) was amazing value.

Cons:

The rooms a little old, but they're clean, and as you might expect from an old, B&B/pub building.

It ticked all of my particular boxes - excellent.
Pros:

Very good breakfast.

Excellent location for me. Was meeting a friend for lunch and preferred not to have a 45-50 minute drive home again. I meet another friend for lunch in Woburn and would certainly stay there overnight again.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like. The staff both in the hotel and the "pub" opposite were great. I had the feeling that nothing would be too much trouble.

The Bell at Woburn
Pros:

Rooms in the pub itself are very small and "quirky".

Cons:

Window did not open in the bedroom, so got very hot.

Pros:

Location and buildings were superb. Staff were helpful, just a little busy so initial contact took a few mins.
Had not realised it was dog friendly, so noting that for when I return.

I would absolutely recommend this Hotel
Pros:

The building itself is beautiful, particularly downstairs. Parking is great.
The location is great with a number of pubs and restaurants to keep your occupied. We visited Paris House which I would definitely recommend and a short taxi ride away.
The staff were lovely.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are a little tired. I was lucky enough to have the bedroom in the main photos which was nice and probably nicer than some of the others.
Great value for money. Breakfast was lovely and Cook cooked fresh freshly across the road in the pub.

Cons:

I felt the bathrooms were a little dated, but the water pressure was fabulous, the location and staff made it very enjoyable.
