It was not clear that whilst advertised as Ye Olde Bell Hotel and Spa, that the Spa closed at 6pm mid week - hence not available for overnight stays of business or leisure?
Lovely deep bath after a long drive and fantastic Steak and Ale pie in the bar. Excellent full English breakfast and bottomless coffee! Upgraded to a suite!
