Lower Bell

I stayed in Room 3. Initially it "looked good" as it was fairly modern and on the surface was okay. Price was good. Lots of dead flies/bees on the floor upon arrival. The flies came through the skylight which was the only window. No fly screen. Room was way too hot and only one small fan to keep temperature down. No hair dryer, Wifi did not work. Bathroom had a strong odour of mould in the bathroom which suggested incorrect ventilation

I travel often for work and as it tends to come out of my bottom line I have to find somewhere thats got everything I need whilst also being extremely affordable. Fortunately for me, The Lower Bell was both. In most situations the bare minimum is a clean room and a bed and that is exactly what I got. Being a solo traveller I dont need a massive room so plumped for the single room (as it turned out Room No 1). Not only did I get exactly what I needed, but also was pleasantly surprised to discover a heated towel rail and a pretty decent tele. That heated rail was worth its weight in gold as I had just ridden my motorbike through a storm to get there! Also I turned up a tad later then planned and the kitchen had closed. However the brilliant team behind the bar (Kate and Lynn) where terribly kind enough to offer me the pizza menu and sorted me something out. Before I knew it, I was sinking a couple of pints while talking with some pretty friendly locals. My only regret was that I couldnt go and chat to them more on the second night I was staying as I had prearranged to meet someone. Suffice to say that if I am back in this neck of the woods I will be popping my head in again to say hi!

There using whole pub at a private party. Every aspect was excellent. Stayed night and rooms were spotless and provided all you could ask for. Party and food great. Friendly efficient staff.
