The staff were accommodating to host our family meal & were proficient when changing the facilities when numbers in my family party changed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Portions at our carvery lunch were overbearing and many family members had to leave meat, which I considered wasteful and could have been avoided if portions were reduced. Breakfast was varied, but the bacon was slightly over cooked. Staff again were helpful in providing a continois supply of beverages.

Selection of real ales, home-cooked bar food. Breakfast buffet; over-cooked sausage, bacon etc not very appetising at all. Waitress who looked totally bored with her job.

I really liked the two receptionists who were friendly but most of all real people with a good sense of humour. Other staff members were also very good. The location was ideal for an overnight stay and the hotel full of "olde worlde" character. By chance the location was also perfect as this was a business trip and the customer who was being visited lived in Winslow and the Hotel was his recommendation. The room was small but of no consequence for an overnight stay. The TV facilities were not to a standard needed for an extended stay but the character of the Hotel made it an enjoyable experience when having to stay in Premier/Holiday inns in the UK much of the year. There was a smell of food from the Kitchen extractors in the corridor but probably difficult to manage in such an old building.

The Bell is clean and comfortable and very reasonably priced. It's good value for a small town hotel. The room and bathroom were very large and furnished well. Comfortable beds. It is quite quaint and pleasant and the bar and waiting staff are friendly. Reception staff could have been a little more helpful when told of a slight problem with the room. In our bathroom the shampoo and shower gel dispenser was not working, and the plug was slightly blocked meaning the water pooled in the bath as you were showering, however when we pointed this out to reception staff on checkout (so they could rectify for the next guest - it wasn't a complaint) the response we got was "Oh.You must have been pushing it the wrong way". To clarify, I don't find dispensers to be particularly challenging and it was certainly broken. Push is not a hard direction to follow. They obviously were not particularly bothered about rectifying this for the next guest and the receptionist's leisurely attitude did put a slight dampener on our experience. Also, there was a lot of noise in the hotel from Wedding guests and the nearby pubs at closing time - but this is quite usual for hotels in the centre of any town.

When I arrived the staff were wonderful - couldn't have been more helpful. The character of the hotel. The room I was in would benefit from a deep clean.
