Okay for somewhere to sleep.
Pros:

The bed was comfy.

Cons:

The room smelled a little damp, the walls are incredibly thin so if people are talking or loud in the corridor you can hear it very clearly. Our room key had originally only been set for one night even though we were booked for 3 so when we got back after a busy day visiting family quite late, we had to call someone to come sort it for us. The staff did help us though.

Excellent experience
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at Bell’s Hotel. The location is excellent, with everything conveniently on site, which made our visit very easy and enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed.
The hotel has great facilities, including a restaurant and bar, and even a golf shop. This was especially helpful for us, as my husband had forgotten his waterproof jacket and was able to buy one there at a good price.
The surroundings are beautiful, with lovely green views that make the whole experience even more relaxing. Breakfast was also very good, with plenty of options to choose from.
Overall, it was a really positive experience and we would definitely stay again.

No phones in the rooms in case neede to speak to call the reception. The breakfast could have a bit more variety (hash browns, philadelfia, cheese slices) but was good in general.
