Beautiful room, lacked air conditioning for good weather, extremely hot! Breakfast was good, restaurant menu limited, food quality was average, the accommodation is in a beautiful village, unfortunately there is very limited eating establishments within the village. Most staff were friendly and welcoming, overall we wouldn’t stay there again.

I couldn’t have loved this place more, great quirky rooms a real old pub feel with fantastic delicious food and great drink choices, a pleasant away from the woeful Madri and Carling most pubs now stock. The service was attentive, friendly and speedy. The place had a real nice village vibe with pleasant interesting locals. Only down side, the WiFi was none existent in my room.

The Bell Inn is a fabulous example of a quirky and eccentric coaching inn incomparable to any other. Fabulous attention to detail, beautiful luxurious rooms. We would have no hesitation in recommending. However be prepared if you stay in the main hotel rooms to either stay up in the bar until it closes or to listen to every word and every cheers from the comfort of your own room.

The room was cleaned everyday with fresh cookies next to the tean and coffee maker. The pub has certainly retained its old charm. Food was excellent. For someone from london paying less for beer was a welcome change
