    I'd have preferred the eating area to have been a bit more seperated from the bar - but the team made it feel as feel almost like a restaurant. My husband is a cagar smoker so the outside earea is great!

    It was a quirky place as expected but th estaff exceeded our expectations as they were attentive and friendly - whilst being professional.

    Cosy, quirky, friendly place in a pretty little village. Room was gorgeous with the comfiest bed I have ever slept in & a fabulous copper bath to soak away the days achy feet. The little cookies & cakes left out added to the charm. All the staff were friendly & accommodating. We loved it!! After sharing with a friend they have booked to stay this weekend.

    The main building was noisy in the early evening, but not until late. The bed was soft for our likes, but still we had a good night sleep.

    Beautifully decorated spacious rooms, with all the facilities needed for our short-term stay. The pub is lovely with a great atmosphere that's worth experiencing.

    Truly pet-friendly hotel. Casper was greeted with his own personal letter, outlining some good walks in the local area, along with a gift box with treats, toy and poo bags. They did provide a bed for him, but he's such a large dog we brought our own. Many quirky and interesting features, which apparently reflects the owner's eclectic/ eccentric style. A really lovely place!

    They are currently extending the pub so there is building work which did wake us up around 8 and means you don't want to sit on the little balcony.

    A really nice part of the world, charming village, lovely old pub. The room was very nice and comfortable and a generous size. The staff were all so friendly and couldn't do enough to help. It seemed like a really nice place to work as they all seemed to get along like a real team. Would definitely return (when they've finished building!)

    We had a wonderful stay at The Bell. All the staff (and the locals) were really friendly, the pub is so cosy with a roaring log fire and comfortable seating just what you want after a long walk. The beds were like little clouds, great for a good nights kip. Breakfast was a proper treat, homemade granola was something special followed by the perfect full English fry up. We had a great time and so did our mini schnauzer Nibbs he was spoilt rotten!

    I booked this wonderful place as a treat for my parents' anniversary. I had stayed before and knew it was special. But my goodness, they truly made my parents' stay simply wonderful. I preordered treats for them, they were looked after by the amazing staff, they loved their room but it wasn't quite right for them because it was a little to close to the bar, so they were moved without issue to another gorgeous room. The food was amazing, the service too. And my parents, who are not easily pleased, have booked to go back. They were blown away. Book a stay here, you won't regret it.

    Our room was cold for us, but it was a very windy cold night. Sitting on the sofa bed you could feel such a draft.

    We loved the feel of The Bell, lovely homely touches, gorgeous soft furnishings, fresh flowers, warm fires …

    The bed was very soft and unfortunately there was building work taking place so to use the balcony wasn’t ideal with banging and machinery work. We could hear a lot of noise but as we come from London we’re use to noise.

    Staff were really helpful and friendly. Bath was gorgeous, room was a great size and clean. Loved the little cakes too.

    The restaurant service was a bit patchy... both at dinner and breakfast. The staff are all lovely but they would benefit from having more training - simple things like combining tasks... take a drinks order but clear the plates at the same time... some staff need training for these simple things that others would do instinctively...this would make all the difference. There were a lot of tables with plates that needed clearing as tasks were being done singularly.

    Wonderful quirky designs in the rooms. Loved the rolltop bath with tiny bottle of bath salts. Loved the soft sumptious bed with blanket over. THe restaurant food was super.

    I didnt have a great night's sleep due to the pillows being lumpy and the mattress was a bit hard, it was the only thing that stopped it being 10/10.

    It was very nice - the room looked amazing and the quirky features made it quite a magical stay. The food in the restaurant was stunning along with a fantastic service

    The pub is on a fairly busy road, so if you are quite noise sensitive, you might want to ask for a room away from the road.

    Lovely and quirky rooms with everything you could need from an armchair to biscuits; friendly staff; great breakfast (both continental and cooked) and pub; warm and cozy open fire; village and countryside walks (both through muddy fields and along country lanes) around.
