Pros:

Great location to visit Puzzlewood and wye valley. Staff v friendly and helpful. Very quiet at night. Family room comfortable and spacious.

Cons:

Cleaning of bathroom could have been better. Toilet didnt seem to have been fully cleaned. Hairs in sink and shower. Carpet worn in places. A fake plant or some kind of cabinet would have made it nice like the main room which was inviting.

Terrible
Pros:

We saw friends and have stayed 3 times but only ok

Cons:

There was no AC , very noisy from the other rooms and Bells club house didn’t have anything on the menu we liked due to running out of chicken. There were children running a mock with no staff dealing with this. We will never return and find another suitable place. Terrible

Pros:

Staff contacted me prior to my arrival and arranged a room near to the reception and it was an accessible room suitable for my 91 year old mother. I think this was excellent. Staff here are always very pleasant and the hotel should be commended for this.

Cons:

Ive stayed at the Bells a few times now and my only criticism would be that some of the rooms are dated and some if the mattresses aren't the most comfortable. However I do understand that the cost and current economic climate are against them. Would definitely stay in the future.

Good for the price.

Cons:

Room was dingy, worn-out carpet, like a furnace. Had to borrow fan from the club house, the reception said no when we checked in. The room needed more than just a fan. No provision was made to make the customer stay better in the extremely warm summer.
