The Ye Olde Bell Hotel is reputed to be the oldest hotel in England. Despite the fact it has been operating since 1220, it offers the same level of service and luxurious accommodation as many of today’s modern hotels have to offer. I would go back in a heartbeat.

First time travelling with our dog and the hotel couldn’t have been better. We also ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent. Just one night but will definitely be coming back.
4.6
We had a wonderful stay and thought it was a beautiful and stylish hotel. Hats off to those who made it look stunning. Food wise - excellent. Comfort wise - impeccable. Staff - impressive. Amazing place

Great stay, beautiful room (room 1). It was quite noisy as right above the bar, but this quickly died down around 11.30pm. There were a few parties in on our night, so couldn’t eat in the restaurant (offered 6pm, which was too early for us), but plenty of options locally.
Only thing that would make this perfect would be:
Better pillows (they were quite hard and synthetic)
More water in the rooms. A large refillable glass bottle would suffice, instead there were two small cans of water in the mini fridge (one still and one sparkling) for two people. Most pub b&bs have this.
Fresh milk in the room. Again, for the price point of the room, I’d have expected this. Or at least be offered some at reception before being shown to your room. There’s fridges in the rooms so this would be an easy win.
Otherwise, breakfast was phenomenal, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely stay in a beautiful location.
We rode in on motorcycles, and the parking behind the hotel was tucked away enough for us to feel safe leaving them secure.

Stayed in soooo many hotels and pubs around the world, this place, just loved it, and I am very picky. Bet Christmas here is wonderful. The picture is literally next door
4.6
First class accomodation and customer service.
4.6
Lighting in the lounges is very poor. Cannot read the magazines and newspapers thoughtfully provided.
A residents lounge would be a good idea. The garden has been covered by yet another building. Totally out of keeping with this old pub.
Loud music being played at breakfast is an intrusion
We have been coming to this hotel for 25 years Such a shame the owners have ruined it.

Beautifully appointed, unusual and excellent food, beautiful rooms, helpful staff.

This excellent and very old hotel began life as a hostel for monks visiting the next door abbey. It has a wonderful old world charm. The staff are universally friendly and helpful. Breakfast is freshly cooked to order and is delicious. Dining is modern British and of very high quality.

Highly recommend the afternoon tea - we will be back!

Had an amazing stay at the Old Bell Hotel!
It looks deceivingly small from the outside, but actually there is plenty of space to explore once inside.
The hotel has a cosy feel to it and there are a lot of areas to lounge around.
Everyone was welcoming and helpful.
Thank you :)

The receptionist Jackerine is a cheerful and friendly staff. She helped to fix the lock, informed us directions and always tender cheerful greeting. The restaurant is a lovely one with friendly and helpful staff. I have allergic issue and the staff checked out ingredients and even steps to prepare the food. All good and our lobster dinner was excellent.

We received a warm and friendly welcome and even a complimentary glass of fizz whilst checking in.
All staff were friendly and helpful and the food both at dinner and breakfast was top notch. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. I can not wait to find an excuse to return again!
4.6
Well it was a very attractive hotel with interesting decor and helpful staff. Food was excellent. BUT the room was pokey,the bed was small ,the double glazed windows had blown and could not be seen through due to condensation. The corridor leading to the room was narrow and claustrophobic. The worst aspect was the parking of cars right outside our window. We did complain but felt too tired and rushed to move rooms. What we would say is the room was not worth the £250 full price. We used our Hotels.com voucher and cynically think that one gets given a poor room in this circumstance.
4.6
Exceptional hotel. Superb breakfast. Loved the room and cannot fault the faculties or staff. However the parking was problematic at the rear on our visit caused by a car parked in a non-allocated spot (that was reported to reception but still an issue come departure).
