Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise The Bell's spotlessly clean public areas and spacious bedrooms, often noting the comfortable beds. The bar/dining area is particularly appealing, and the modern, well-decorated rooms, some featuring a super king bed, offer a pleasant stay. The location is beautiful, though some guests have mentioned that church bells can be quite audible. The English cooked breakfast receives high marks, often described as one of the best.

Mixed Experience with Some Issues

non-functional heating dirty shower cubicle

The location felt traditional, offering a village pub vibe.

The heating in the bedroom was not on when I arrived. The towel rail also did not work . I found the shower cubicle dirty (a real turnoff, I must say).

unemptied bin insufficient toilet paper

The visit was mostly acceptable, but several details require attention. The trash can was never emptied during my three-night stay. Toilet paper was not restocked sufficiently. The availability of hot water was inconsistent on my final day. I found this unacceptable.
