Ok stay
Pros:

The staff on arrival, were friendly and helpful. The food and the service in the restaurant was 10/10 couldn't fault it.

Cons:

No extraction fan in the bathroom. If there is it doesnt work
Dust on mirror
Only venetian blinds so if your a light sleeper you will be awake early if the loud humming sound doesnt wake you up first.
Metal bed frame that squeaks with every movement.
Stains on the carpet but I get this is general wear and tear.

Lovely pub and hotel
Pros:

The staff were very friendly. The pub itself self was great and refreshingly lively for a smaller village pub

Brilliant room, over-priced food, breakfast too late
Pros:

Fabulous room - plenty of space, massive and comfortable bed, big TV, Nespresso machine, lovely shower room.

Cons:

I thought the price for dinner was high and with very little choice for a vegetarian. I was also very disappointed that breakfast at the weekend only starts from 8:30am which was too late for me.

Comfortable clean and nice pubs
Pros:

It was located in a pretty village with a shop and another pub. The Bell was clean and the room was comfortable.

Cons:

The shower being open to the room may be off putting for some. We booked extra comfortable room, but I don’t know if I would call it that, it did have a sofa though which was nice.

Lovely room, nice location, great staff - just be aware breakfast is not included
Pros:

Lovely room, nice homemade biscuits! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Breakfast was not included in the price. We paid extra for breakfast, and it was okay - a bit expensive in some ways. For example, over £4 for toast and jam. The fried breakfast was nice, but again, not very cheap - especially if you add a coffee and a juice. In the room, one thing I found odd was the way the little soap was replaced every day by housekeeping…I’m sure one of those would have lasted our whole stay. Seemed a little unnecessary to me. But these are all small things…I’d happily stay again. So much nicer than a big chain hotel.
