We were in room 1 - a good sized room, pleasantly decorated with oak beams and facings. The roof line is quite low so anyone above 6ft.1.in will have to be... More

Visited here with a voucher that included a nights b & b and a 3 course meal with wine. By no means is the qaulity of service, food or welcome reduced because of the fact you have a voucher. A very warm welcome and an equally warm large room (room 1) was much appreciated on a cold day, the room... More

We stay at the lodges near by but absolutely love coming the The Bell in the evenings. Charles and Sarah are very welcoming and will always do their best to please. The menu... More
