The area was lovely, we walked around and explored the park and streets alike. We hadn’t realised the dads army connection, which was a lovely discovery. Unfortunately at night we were disturbed by loud noises from people nearby the property and obviously outside of your control.

Amazing service.

Just want we needed staff were fantastic and really went the extra mile to accommodate our early arrival and had the room ready for us. Room was nice and big and comfortable. It is a little dated but generally expected. Breakfast was good also. But staff really made the stay were super helpful and friendly.

An elderly hotel, quaint but comfortable. Superb bed, so slept well. Breakfast super. However, I need a ‘walker’ due to a bad back and had no warning that there is NO lift - bedrooms are on upper floors so very difficult. Also there has been confusion with payment. I paid Expedia at time of booking and paid the Bell a different amount when departing. Checked with The Bell upon arrival at home and was told that my ‘payment to the Bell’ was for invoice only???

I was staying whilst on a business trip. My room was in the main building and was not flat. The room had a slope in it which made me feel very dizzy. The furniture was dated and the bed was uncomfortable. The bar was a very pleasant experience and I enjoyed the food and beer garden.

Returned to home town for school reunion so knew the hotel was central and in a good location, staff on reception were very helpful and friendly but generally the hotel just seemed tired and in need of decoration, shower was warm despite a sign warning you to be careful of hot water and the bath was worn and stained and furniture had handles missing and was chipped. Appreciate it is an old building so furniture and decoration is in line with age of property
