Fantastic chef, I had a vegan pie and it was absolutely deliscious. My compliments to the chef.
The room is comfortable and clean if a little tired in terms of decor. The old pub is nice and offers a good range of beers. The staff are all friendly and the breakfast is decent. The Bell is right in the middle of town - great for a walk round some historic churches and interesting little museums. Lovely riverside walk near the hotel, great for a sunny day.
The hotel is a little tired looking but the staff do well to make the best of it. The wider town centre is picturesque except for some ugly pre-fab buildings around the river, and unfortunately the streets were overrun by chavs on ebikes on the Saturday night.
Large room very comfortable bed. Great location.
Place a bit tired but it was clean.
Room was large, light and comfortable. The en-suite bathroom was a little tired looking. We were very pleased to have our cycles stored safely for the night. The evening meal in the bar was very good but the breakfast was a little chaotic, poorly laid out and very limited choice.
Breakfast should have been better choice of foodstuffs and they should have been better displayed. The overall impression wasn't helped because there was only one member of staff to deal with the number of guests who arrived shortly after 07:00.
Hotel good value just a bit tired
Bathroom
Pleasant staff, good location
Average food, tired decor
Decent room with balcony and welcoming staff.
Awful noise from drunks for ages in late afternoon and evening ruining sit on balcony. Not the hotels fault as no one sorting out the awful anti-social idiots across the way.
Location was excellent with a spacious sheltered beer garden to entertain company.
The building has great character.
The bar area where you order meals/ drinks is frequently unstaffed and you have to wait patiently for staff to arrive from other areas. The staff did not seem motivated or enthusiastic about being there.
I entertained some guests in the garden (one of whom had Huntingtons, a neurological condition).
The staff assumed he was drunk when he ordered drinks and were diffident towards our group because of this.
He was later refused service. When I explained the situation to management they acted quickly and spoke with the team but it soured our experience.
It's a shame because I have always loved the character of the Bell 🔔 Inn and it's place in the community.
