One night manageable
The staff member who welcomed us was friendly and helpfully showed us to the room. However acess to it was outside via a poorly lit metal staircase, which would've been a nightmare to go down if there had been a fire as it had no contrast edging. The room hadn't been heated and it took a while to get the room warm once we'd turned the radiator on. The shower cubicle door couldn't be fully opened as the toilet wa too close, but everything was very clean and the bed comfy. The dining area at breakfast smelt awful probably because the pub is small and had no doors between different areas. The food was no more than ok and there was no-one around when we came to leave, so we just left the key on the bar.

Decent B&B
For what I wanted, which was just a bed for the night, it was fine. It's a 'locals' pub, which does mean good beer a decent food. The room was pretty small but sufficient for what I needed. The biggest issue though was no hot water in the shower in the morning. Hot water in the sink, but not in the shower and I waited an extremely long time, in case it took a while. There was no-one in the pub to ask for help, only the chef in the restaurant, so a bit disappointing. There is no car park, so parking is just on the road outside. I was assured that it was perfectly secure and I didn't have reason to doubt that, but it did feel a bit uncomfortable having to leave my car overnight on the road a walk away from the pub. The food in the restaurant was OK, nothing extraordinary, but I have to say, the breakfast was amazing, one of the best I've had anywhere.

I arrived at a lovely old pub in a nice location for one nights stay after a long drive. Was told that there was no food served that night but breakfast was arranged for 9am.The room was basic but Ok for me. The pub was deserted in the morning and no amount of knocking could raise anyone. After 9.15 am I gave up and drove into town for breakfast at the same place I went the night before. Very annoyed and disappointed about the Bell Inn.Not good enough. .

Disappointing
Hot water didn't work although this was corrected by 11.30pm. Shower drain blocked and obviously not cleaned as would have been noticeable . No cleaning between beds. Cobwebs on ceiling. Completely different to last stay. A shame because welcome was great and problem with hot water was sorted once it was pointed out at 10.45pm! Hope to see improvements when we return ext January!

Great stay in a beautiful country pub
Lovely country pub with great staff and friendly locals. Room was basic but clean with really comfortable beds and had a great sleep. We stayed on a Friday night and didn’t hear any noise after 11pm. Lovely outside space where the local's was playing games. Side access so we didn’t have to go through the pub every time we came and went. Best part of the stay was the breakfast, very good quality and cooked so well it was one of the nicest full English I’ve ever had.bottles of water and toiletries in room was an added bonus I would definitely return again

Quaint, friendly & ideal for solo travelers
There was everything to like about The Bell Inn, especially its location across from a scenic and rapidly moving river. The room was small but definitely adequate for a solo traveler. I worried needlessly about having a shared bath because it was just steps from the room and always available. The pub below the guest rooms served a variety of tasty food, especially top-notch fish & chips. Plus, there was very talented LIVE musician on Saturday night who also guided karaoke time. It ended at 11, so no late night noise. Overall, there is definitely a fun family vibe here. I was surprised to see many recreational vehicles/campers parked in a large area behind the inn, expecting that to be a problem. It certainly was not. In fact, those guests were polite, respectful, and quite enjoyable. If you're looking for something terrific instead of a chain hotel - and want the experience of interacting with local people - The Bell Inn is definitely the place to be. I am sooo glad I chose it!

Nice old building in a lovely little village. Not very good transport links 😕 tried to get taxi to train station unable to get one. Breakfast was amazing compliments to the chef. Would have liked a fridge in room. But no complaints at all really. Good value for money.

It was okay
There is limited parking so just be aware. Room was comfortable but not as clean as it should have been. There was lots of dust. There was also hair in the bathroom. There were toiletries. The bedroom was basic but comfortable. Kettle with tea and biscuits was a nice touch. Room is over pub you can hear people talking but kick out is at 11 and it’s quiet from then. Breakfast in the morning was good cold buffet with cereals and fruit plus a full English option.
