Location is great, right in the heart of Kettlewell. Lovely pub with a great menu. Breakfast was fabulous. Room was nice and cosy.
Car park is tiny. Had to pay to use the main Kettlewell car park.

The location is stunning, right in the midst of the Yorkshire Dales. Food was exceptional and my partner said that her meal is possibly the best meal she has ever eaten. She had a lovely piece of fish, halibut I think. We love this pub.
Limited parking although there is a large car park just a minutes walk away and only costs £5 for 24 hours.

Very good location central for some great walks near by. Excellent food in the restaurant.
Parking was limited at the pub but National Trust car park nearby, although £6.50 overnight.

Ideal location, and spotlessly clean.
Regrettably I should have checked prior to booking but the hotel is sadly lacking for guest needing gluten free diets. Breakfast had to be ordered the night before, unfortunately there were few options at breakfast therefore my wife had to have a limited cooked breakfast, which she never has. No fruit, yoghurts or gluten free bread. The cereals on offer contained gluten consequently it was a poor experience for her. As a coeliac she lacked confidence in eating there in the evening so we ate elsewhere.

I chose the general area as a base for walking hiking. Kettlewell is perfect for that. The Blue Bell Inn came up in my search and seemed to offer everything that I needed. It more than exceeded my expectations offering great accommodation, wonderful food and a great bar with selections of beer and some excellent wine. The atmosphere was superb and I have make a big call out to the staff who made my stay a great experience. I will definitely choose this place again.
Nothing really as all that I was looking for was found there. It was a great experience.

The lady working on the bar, cleaning rooms, serving evening meals, serving breakfast was AMAZING. She was very pleasant and worked extremely hard.
Room far too warm and unable to turn off heating.
Bed was not comfortable.

ideal village situation with good food all day.
Rooms are on the small side but well appointed.all the rooms face the car park which is a shame as the views from the pub side are amazing. Apparently you have to ask to have your room made up which I’d not heard of before but when we told Kimberley it hadn’t been done she was very helpful.

4.5
Great location in the centre of the village with lots of walks on the doorstep. The pub appears recently refurbished, indeed the rooms appeared new. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent Al a Cart food at dinner and an excellent cooked breakfast. I highly recommend this little gem of a pub. Dog friendly too.
This is a tiny traditional village with roads that were never intended for many cars and the car park to the rear of the pub is very small. We were fortunate that it was quiet and were able to park directly outside the pub, but this will not be possible in the summer months, so guests may have to park on one of the two large carparks at the entrance to the village. No stress really, but if you are less mobile, worth mentioning.

Lovely stay food and rooms were nice staff were very helpful. Liked that it was a dog friendly pub if we had of known we would of brought our fury baby along.
Been woken up at 2am to the dog in the next room barking it's head off I agree with the accomadation been dog friendly but guests shouldn't be allowed to leave there dogs unattended in rooms to bark desturbing other guests sleep while the owner celabrating the new year.

maybe a formal room with settees/comfy chairs, the whole pub was set out for dining really.
