Its a pub with rooms not a chain hotel so that's what to expect. Very handy for the town and the nearby air base. No fuss check in or out. Pub area looked good with a mixture of bar area and slightly more relaxed seating area.

Hotel was a bit dated, bit of a 70's era for furniture and decor which was quite charming. Rooms confortable, staff friendly and welcoming, great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Nice l

Easy to find, parking at rear. Staff friendly, check in easy. Hotel side a bit run down, room adequate. Decor and fittings dated but the room and bathroom was clean and tidy. Towels and bedding clean. Bit overpriced for what you get but it served its purpose.

Pleasant and helpful staff. Plenty of free parking and located centrally in town. Great price and value for money. Recommend for a informal, low cost stay in a historic building.

Back in time

People were friendly and so helpful. The rooms need updating, I went back in time to my Nans bedroom in the 80’s. Toilet flushed and the who pub heard. Didn’t try the food but drinks were reasonable. It was a last minute booking and the price matched what I got.

The place was tatty, the toilet seat was off the WC but just placed to the side. The place needed steam cleaning. It was very disappointing and certainly not worth the charge to stay

The Bell

The hotel is rather tired, the linen and towels were clean,there was shampo conditioner and soap,tea coffe and milk provided. The room we had was on the front and because the windows weren't double glazed there was lots of traffic noise. The carpet could do with a good clean or be replaced. They don't do breakfast but there is a cafe round the corner does a nice one for £7. The food on the manu was very reasonably priced.

Imagine you’re an adventurer in an RPG video game. This is the inn. Exactly what I wanted. It’s cozy and warm. BTW parking is in the back , you have to drive around the block and take that one way street Angels cafe is on.
