Stunning family weekend away!

My family and I had an amazing weekend, we had a small child and 2 dogs with us and everything was great. The lounge area was stunning, this is where we had drinks and breakfast. The Townhouse we stayed in was absolutely stunning and actually looked so much better in person, the photos didn't do the place justice. We will definitely be back!

We didn't plan to eat here, but due to convenience we ordered lunch, which was so good we returned for dinner, then breakfast (which was included). All in all, a great place to stay.

We had a fantastic stay, by far the cleanest hotel & room we have stayed in - (& that’s quite a lot!). Excellent food & lovely, helpful staff, Nicole particularly gave top notch service. Very vegan friendly which is hugely appreciated! Gorgeous hotel & decor. Our cosy room was perfect, not really that small either! Highly recommend the afternoon tea - we will be back!

This excellent and very old hotel began life as a hostel for monks visiting the next door abbey. It has a wonderful old world charm. The staff are universally friendly and helpful. Breakfast is freshly cooked to order and is delicious. Dining is modern British and of very high quality.

Would not change a thing!

We received a warm and friendly welcome and even a complimentary glass of fizz whilst checking in. All staff were friendly and helpful and the food both at dinner and breakfast was top notch. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. I can not wait to find an excuse to return again!

Had an amazing stay at the Old Bell Hotel! It looks deceivingly small from the outside, but actually there is plenty of space to explore once inside. The hotel has a cosy feel to it and there are a lot of areas to lounge around. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. Thank you :)

Friendly staff

The receptionist Jackerine is a cheerful and friendly staff. She helped to fix the lock, informed us directions and always tender cheerful greeting. The restaurant is a lovely one with friendly and helpful staff. I have allergic issue and the staff checked out ingredients and even steps to prepare the food. All good and our lobster dinner was excellent.

8/10 Very good

Great overall Bit hot for my liking even though turned off radiator
Mr. Martin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Lighting in the lounges is very poor. Cannot read the magazines and newspapers thoughtfully provided. A residents lounge would be a good idea. The garden has been covered by yet another building. Totally out of keeping with this old pub. Loud music being played at breakfast is an intrusion We have been coming to this hotel for 25 years Such a shame the owners have ruined it.
