I attended my work Christmas party in one of the function rooms and it was so convenient to just go up to bed rather than having to drive the 30 miles home afterwards. The cooked breakfast was delicious. Lean bacon, very hot and not greasy.

Quaint, oldie worldy hotel with lots of character. Charming rooms with open fires to relax in. Rang the hotel in advance to say we would not make last orders for food, so the kitchen staff kindly prepared sandwiches and a platter of meat which was ready upon our arrival. We had a lovely large room but it was very cold when we arrived, once the heating had been switched on it warmed up. The room only had towels for one person even though it had been booked for two people, we could have asked for more, but made do with what we had. There was no information on the website about the gym. Had I known I would have brought appropriate clothing to use facilities.

lovely hotel. great staff. I had a terrible headache and i asked a member of staff if she had any paracetamol. She said no, but came back to me a few minutes later and insisted that she drove to a local pharmacy to get some for me. I went to bed and left my daughter with a tip to give to her, she refused it! A huge thanks to such a kind and helpful lady.

the old bell is a lovely old hotel with original features and is clearly a popular local venue for special celebrations. It is convenient for the A1 and yet seems buried in the countryside. staff were friendly and efficient although i only had breakfast there i can certainly recommend the porridge and kippers. the car park is right outside the reception and there are plenty of spaces. if you dont like stairs ask for a first floor room. it could have done with a lift. my room was very nice but very small for a double.

This was an "Olde Worlde" former coaching in with lots of antiques dotted around the place. The food was excellent and the room was well presented. We had a very pleasant stay The extractor fan pipe from the kitchens ran on our outside wall and was rumbling away until midnight and from about 7 am.

Large bedroom and bathroom. Choice of 2 restaurants - good menu and the food was well prepared.Breakfast was excellent. Being picky - it was difficult to turn on the shower, wait for the water to get warm and enter the shower without flooding the floor.
