We had a lovely stay at the Bell Inn. Had booked the super duper room and were very pleased with it. Everything we needed was there and in a beautiful, fresh space.

Lovely old building with lots of features. Being above the pub has advantages but also real drawbacks. Great food in the bar offered. Good sized room for the price.
Friendly welcome, clean and quiet room. Easy parking and good pub.
Didn’t have breakfast but easy access if required.
Comfortable bed and able to make the room dark with shutters.
Slightly improvement would be a slightly better shower.
Would stay again.
Great Hotel, nice staff.
Not all information was forthcoming like code or where our key was. Girl at the bar sorted us out but was surprised we did not have a code or knew where the box was
Love staying here when we visit the UK - its close to our family and friends and you get a real small village feel. Staff at the hotel are great and the breakfast is fantastic. Definitely prefer this to the any of the big name hotel chains so would absolutely recommend to anyone.
We had a wonderful stay at this charming boutique hotel nestled in a quaint village. The property perfectly blends historic character with beautifully modernized rooms that are stylish, comfortable, and thoughtfully updated while still preserving the building's unique charm.
One of the highlights of our visit was the food. Every meal was excellent, with fresh, well-prepared dishes and attentive service that made dining a real pleasure.
The only drawback to be aware of is that several of the rooms do not have air conditioning. If you're visiting during warmer weather or prefer a cooler room, it's worth confirming that your room includes A/C before booking.
Overall, this is a lovely place to stay if you're looking for a cozy, character-filled hotel with outstanding food and a peaceful village atmosphere.

I had ‘the snug’ but it’s not that small and served its purpose perfectly. With a lovely hot shower too!!
