The Belfry, Restaurant and Rooms  

Wonderful stay at a wonderful hotel! Rooms comfortable, exquisite food freshly prepared to an incredibly high standard. Attentive but not intrusive owners who make you feel welcome as soon as you arrive. This was our second stay and definitely won't be our last!

Our 3rd stay, and excellent food again.

Tennyson room needs a shower.

Awesome. We felt special and welcomed. The food was excellent and the attention to detail amazing. Nothing was too much for the owners. If you need to be on a gluten free diet you will grim from ear to ear throughout your stay... as will anybody on a normal diet. We will return!!

Loved the welcoming, friendly atmosphere. The teamwork of the proprietors and their fantastic culinary skills and attention to making guests at home is commendable .Loved the fact that it is a building of historical interest [an old school] retaining many super features and that it plays an important part of the village life at Yarcombe. The room was extremely comfortable and we had a terrific sleep in an amazingly comfortable bed. A great place to stay for business, for relaxation and as a central place amid the exceptionally beautiful hills. We highly recommend the Belfry and shall definitely return again.

A standout choice in the area. Extremely comfortable. Scrupulously clean. Great attention to detail. Friendly proprietors. Recieved an introductory & very informative email very shortly after booking with details about the Belfry & lots of local information with web links. Greeted with coffee & cake on arrival. The owners generously provide a list of local restaurants & pubs, but I would recommend any visitor to try Sarah-Jane's cooking in the restaurant at least once. The restaurant is small, intimate, & her food is superb - freshly cooked, local ingredients, beautifully prepared & presented.

Our hosts, Neil and Sarah-Jane were excellent and made us feel very welcome. A wide choice for breakfast which was very good indeed. Dinner was '5 star'! There is really no point in going out to eat when the standard of food would be a match of any restaurant in London! We will return at some point.

The character of the Hotel and the lovely breakfast prepared and served by the owners.

The fact that the hotel was not able to provide us with an evening meal without having been given at least 24hours notice and there being a complete lack of decent eating establishments within walking distance of the hotel caused a problem for us during the evening of arrival.

Delightful hosts, warm welcome, and extraordinarily good food.

We have stayed here before and had a wonderful room. This time we took the only room available, (Shelley), which was perfectly ok in itself, but smaller. The only negative comment would be about the mattress on the twin beds, which I think need renewing! Apart from that we love the The Belfry, and would certainly stay again.

The owners were very welcoming and friendly. The room was nicely decorated and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, although we weren't able to try the restaurant as it was closed the night we stayed. The L'Occitane products were a nice touch as was the pillow mist.

The shower curtain in the bathroom should be replaced with a shower screen. The curtain wrapped around you and made for a very claustrophobic shower experience plus every time you reached for the shower gel/shampoo, you had to rustle around in the curtain. The bathroom seemed substandard in comparison to the lovely room. The toilet flush didn't work very well either, you had to push it down several times.

Service and the food which was excellent

i Thought the Keats room was a little small for the price bed was excellent

Highly recommended. Quiet little hideaway, don't forget to order your menu before you come. Lovely friendly owners with comfortable rooms.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Belfrey, but it definitely will not be the last. The rooms are light and comfortable and really clean, the proprieters are friendly and welcoming, the location is really quiet and relaxing which is just what we want, and the food is unquestionably the best I have ever tasted, beautifully cooked and presented, both at dinner and breakfast. We cannot praise it highly enough
