Disappointed
Pros:

The on-site shower room was extremely dated with stained shower and peeling old sealant, the feel was of a gritty bedside and not a £100 a night room.

The cups had ring marks inside and the kettle lead didn't even reach a plug so it had to sit on the floor.

I would not recommend this hotel.

Cons:

Breakfast was good

Good enough for a couple of nights stay but the inadequate water pressure to bath/shower was an issue
Pros:

Quaint old fashioned inn hotel great bars and food and all staff were friendly and helpful. Room was fairly spacious, bed comfortable and great to be able to open the sash windows to let in some air.

Cons:

My only gripe was that the water from bath taps and the shower in my room had barely a trickle of water .. personally I’d rather a decent shower above all else

A heartbreaking stay made worse and stressful by no air con.
Pros:

The location, our family live in Winslow so it’s convenient also it was our mums funeral and the wake was being held at The Bell.
The bubble bath was lovely.
Breakfast was nice and tasty.

Cons:

The lack of air conditioning which ruined our break as it was during a heat wave and our rooms (we had 3 for us and our family) were so hot, it was absolutely unbearable. Our son had a family room which was also unbearable but the windows were screwed shut so couldn’t be opened so all they had was a fan for 2 adults and their baby, so they got moved to a smaller room, and luckily the window opened but the heat was still unbearable, even with 4 fans!! None of us could sleep which caused us so much upset for our mums funeral day. The second night, I had to resort to sleeping in a cold bath. The rooms need air con units!
