Lovely olde, worlde Inn which delivered once again

This is our second stay at The Bell. Once again the staff were welcoming and friendly. Our room was super clean, the bed was comfortable, bathroom spacious and we had all the facilities we needed. Wrap all this up with the olde, worlde charm of the building and it all combined once again into a lovely break.

We love the location of this hotel. Nice and quiet though a little crazy for traffic & parking at busy times. Also the bar closed far too early at the weekend! Rooms are very spacious clean & comfortable. Breakfast is good though you have to pay extra for this. We would definitely visit again.

Friendly and comfortable

Helpful, friendly staff in all areas; reception, bar and restaurant. The rooms were well appointed, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and there was a good choice of freshly prepared a la carte fare at a very reasonable price. The location is quiet, but has easy and convenient access to the A13 and A127. We would stay again.

Lovely hotel but pricey breakfast

Horndon on the Hill is a picturesque village and the Bell is a delightful pub and hotel. The rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet and in a pretty setting. My only gripe was breakfast which can work out really expensive. Toast and jam is £4.10, a 'Variety' pack cereal £2.50 and tea £2.50. My breakfast cost £17.10 and it could have been more.

We loved our spacious but cosy room

Apologies for the late review we thought we had completed this on our return. We booked a room for two nights whilst visiting family. This a regular trip we make every year but our first time of staying here. On arrival, shortly after the allocated check in time, we were greeted by a young lady at reception who showed us to our room - The Anne Boleyn suite. The room was spacious, clean and cosy with a very comfortable bed and a fantastic bathroom. We both slept well with no disturbance from neighbours or guests in the bar n restaurant downstairs. We didn’t eat here or try breakfast as it wasn’t included in our cost. We would definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Cute and ambitious place, but look out for payment

This is my second time to this cute little place. It is very nice with high ambition, but there where a couple of things that can improve a lot. I booked 5 rooms (one booking with 4 named persons, and an additional booking with only my name) for one night for a party of 5. It was clear payments to be settled on site. Before I even left Sweden I got notifications from my bank that the hotel had charged 3 rooms from my account. I called the hotel and they were quite negligant about breaching agreement and a bit reluctant to refund me. This was later solved, but caused a lot of stress to me, and to my colleagues. I didn't even get an apology. Rooms are querky (which I like) but it was freezing cold, and radiators could not be switched on. Couldn't find any news channel, only old tv shows and arabic series, on the telly. A bit odd. But again, it is a super cute place with an ambitious and nice restaurant in the pub. Will be back for business next time and hope to avoid payment issues.
