Proper old coaching inn in old historic Warminster!
Pros:

Adored staying at the Old Bell in Warminster. It's right in the middle of town, has car parking, and a great pub / restaurant on the ground floor. The staff were so welcoming. Didn't get to eat in the restaurant as I had made other plans beforehand, but next time I really will because it looked great!
We will be back!

Cons:

Personally I loved staying there. If you struggle with stairs this might not be the place for you.

Good but cleanness and the sheets need to be checked regularly and cleaned properly. Having to sleep in this is disgusti
Pros:

Nice little area considering we was in town centre didn’t hear anything through out the night and it being Friday night was quite shocked

Cons:

There’s was hairs on the bed like the sheets hadn’t been changed. Couldn’t ask for fresh bedding as no staff on in the night not only that but you expect to have a clean bed staying in a BNB but not in this case

Great location great food
Pros:

The evening meal was exceptional. Loved the food, the courtyard and ambience.

Cons:

Information in booking.com is incorrect. I booked a room for 4, however they do not do these. Also it said was bed and breakfast however breakfast was extra.

The room was satisfactory for the price but could be much improved with a bit of TLC
Pros:

friendly staff

Cons:

Dinner was overpriced in the evening for small portions and the quality wasn't great, booking.com also listed that breakfast was included, which it wasn't. Although a fan was provided the windows wouldn't open and there were stains on the only chair in the room. The toilet needed a good clean as it was black under the rim which could be seen when having a bath. Otherwise the room was clean enough.

Great Stay, will return next year.
Pros:

A great room, I find expect it. It was like my own apartment , a bed room, kitchen and a lounge. Also kitchen was provided with plates and cutlery along with complimentary water. That was really great service.

Pros:

Parking good. Location good.

Overall a good experience apart from the breakfast
Pros:

Comfy beds
Good location
Great staff

Cons:

Breakfast way too expensive £35 for two English breakfasts and two teas

Wasn’t the nicest either. Few things on the plate were cooked too long and some things were cold

And it took too long to cook considering there were only two of us in the restaurant

Really enjoyed our overnight stay. Very convenient for Centre Parcs!!
Pros:

The staff were really helpful, the food in the restaurant was great, GF options for coeliacs was superb. The room was great, really big with comfy beds, very clean and a big TV which the kids loved. The bathroom was clean and had a good shower. It is a very old building so a bit wonky but we thought that was great fun!!

Lovely stay
Pros:

Very welcoming staff to myself and my daughter but also to our two dogs.
Great room, comfy bed and with everything that you could need.
Good location for visiting the local area.
We had dinner in the evening, the staff and the atmosphere were great and so was the food.

Cons:

It was a warm night so we had the window open, as we were at the front of the hotel the road noise was quite loud.
