I feel really lucky to have found the Bell in Clare - everything you could want from a rural village hotel, fantastic 5star hospitality from a really warm family rum business, first class accommodation spotless, well furnished and a freshly cooked excellent breakfast. A fantastic range of local real ales on the bar served with a smile and a warm... More

We took advantage of the Bell's unbelievable Valentines week offer. Log fires, great beers and wines, a spacious comfortable room and friendly professional service, rounded off with an excellent meal, including the best steak I've tasted in years. All fresh local produce. Excellent! More

Had lunch here on a cold, snowy day after an energetic walk with our dog around Clare Country Park. Warm and welcoming, the staff allowed our dog in the bar with no problem (we agree with the previous reviewers comments about children and dogs in pubs). The Bell is a typical old, timbered, market square inn, with street parking around... More
