I have read some strange and alarming reviews of the Bell, which seem to overlook entirely the joy of staying in an 18th century coaching inn, that has retained much of its individualist style and decor. There is even a disused well in the centre (obviously once the yard of the inn) that you can peer down. There is a curiosity in every corner, wonderful photos and prints. However, the rooms are extremely comfortable. Some previous reviewers have complained of street noise... we certainly experienced none, but were not at the front of the building. One small modern refinement we appreciated was the lift. They have an indoor pool as well, which we didn't try.

Disgusting! Initially told check in is 2-9pm. We had a day out with family who were staying elsewhere, had planned to all return here for dinner. Receive a phone call at 5pm to say they were closing as Monday is their only day off. I said ok, but how did i check in? Was told to call a number on arrival. Arrived at 6:30pm, went to the pool as was the only thing we could see open. Asked if we could swim, he said yes, no problem, open until 9pm. Called a number to be let in to our room. Was taken to our room and unsurprisingly he handed the keys before quickly disappearing. The room was awful. Tired, dirty, the temperatures of a sauna and my daughter refused to use the bathroom due to how dirty it was. There were no curtains to block light from the window opposite the bed, and the door struggled to close. Stayed there 2 minutes and went back to the pool. A different staff member this time who said that we couldn’t swim as after 5pm you need to be 16, my daughter is 13, the pool was empty and there was just absolutely no need for this. He said she can swim in the morning, then he grabbed a timetable and said “oh no, actually, we have a booking, so you cant swim on your stay” We went back to our family who were staying elsewhere, desperately trying to find me and my daughter somewhere else to stay, but we couldn’t find anywhere available. This left us no choice but to return to the hotel to collect our belongings and drive long into the night to return home. We just couldn’t stay in this room. We arrived home at 2am, our family now enjoying a day together with us unable to be involved. Incredibly disappointed.
