Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa

Stayed here for work a few times. Rooms are always clean and tidy. Luckily this time I got a room in the outbuildings. Very nice room with a sofa. Clean and spacious. The gym is also great. Compact but with the main machines needed. Staff always lovely on the desk.

Family lunch. Went out for lunch and had a lovely meal with my family. Food was excellent, took a little time to come but was worth the wait. Sat inside but there was plenty of seating outside for good weather. There is a spa and hotel attached to the restaurant. Inside could do with a little updating and looked tired in places but this didn’t spoil our experience.

Delightful old fashioned style hotel full of character. Wonderful staff and food is exceptional. My sister got married here in January and we have visited before to the spa which is also excellent. The food is 5 star quality. Excellent meal in the restaurant night before the wedding and full English breakfast was faultless. Rooms vary from very big and grand, to more budget friendly family room options. Definitely worth a stay here or stop by for dinner or to spend the day at the spa. I will be returning.

Stayed as part of a spa break with a friend. Had a room with 2 double beds, plenty of space. Food was great and staff were friendly. Would definitely visit again. Breakfast was really nice with the traditional full English but also plenty of other options. Wine was pricey but that's pretty common wherever you go nowadays.

A massive thankyou to Thomas and his team for making our wedding day so special on 25/10/2024. The staff were amazing in every way and couldn't do enough for us!! Me and Nadine had the most amazing day from start to finish, food, layout, bar staff, catering staff, breakfast staff and reception. We are so happy and still on a comedown from yesterday, so gain thank you 🙂

Restaurant Review Only- Booked in for the 3 course Sunday lunch for £40pp , upon arriving it looked lovely and the staff were very welcoming, we ordered some drinks at the bar and was promptly shown our table . we had the Mushrooms and Brie , chicken and pork and the moose and stick toffee pudding. The room was cold with a cold draft coming in from the door and the food was only just luke warm. the apple sauce tasted of cinnamon and the meals all had a n old cooking oil taste to them . such a shame . staff lovely and puddings lovely just disappointing rest.

The location is beautiful, the spa fantastic with lovely and attentive staff. The room was very traditional, which was a lovely touch. The double bed however was too single beds pulled together and the mattresses were very hard, which made for an uncomfortable night's sleep. The food in the restaurant was lovely, but a little pricey for what it was. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and whilst I wouldn't modernise the rooms as they would lose their appeal, upgrading the beds and mattresses would be really beneficial for the guests.

Stayed here a few times for business, the rooms are very hit and miss although the bathrooms are generally very nice. It can be very loud in the late hours which isn't great, also my room had an alarming number of false widow spiders in it. They also tried to charge me hundreds of pounds extra for my girlfriend joining me on my last night which seemed very unfair especially since the charge was for no additional services, i'll probably avoid in future.

We were at The Olde Bell for a celebration of life for my father. The room we had allocated was beautiful, the buffet was excellent, fresh and lots of variety. Staff were lovely and very professional. 12 members of our family stayed on after the event, and sat in the beautiful gardens, then had an evening meal which was good but i think over priced. It would be good if they did a seperate bar food menu, rather than an expensive restaurant that can be eaten in the bar. Maybe something with plain, smaller choices. Not everyone wants to eat a big meal. The bedrooms were lovely, but the beds and pillows were very hard. Breakfast was good and was included in the rate of the rooms. All in all a nice place, excellent for events and gatherings.
