We have stayed here several times and the staff are service are always excellent. However, this time the heart seems to have gone out of the place. Our room was not serviced over the course of our four day trip. Bathroom had signs of mould and the bar often seemed to close early.

Fire escape ladder access not ideal for octogenarians … otherwise v. friendly& excellent service to well fitted double room /ensuite awaiting air-con due elevation

If you are looking for a quiet retreat, don't come here. However, once the pub is closed it goes very quiet. The location is very convenient to explore the town and the surrounding area. If the weather is nice and the sky is clear, you get a wonderful view from the room. One note of caution: you will have to walk up a couple of flights of metal stairs to get to your room. It can get slippery when it rains. If stairs are an issue for you, then this is not suitable. The room is as advertised, comfy and welcoming. Nice and clean, it has no luxury but standard amenities like a kettle and a TV. Bathroom was clean, not very big but with a comfortable shower box. Breakfast was good and generous, the waiter went out of his way to address our special requests and did not expect to be compensated for it. Other than the location and the views from the room on a beautiful morning, the staff are the real selling point. They are friendly, attentive, courteous and welcoming.

Motel type room behind pub with views, friendly staff, good food. Great for short stay for us to access with local bus routes for coastal walks and local area.

We received a warm welcome from Ryan at his 'Community' pub, Ring o'Bells, West Alvington on the outskirts of Kingsbridge. The bedrooms are beside the carpark; access to them is via an open sturdy metal stairway which may be a challenge in adverse weather. The beds with en-suite facilities were clean and well-presented; we all enjoyed a good night's sleep without any distractions. The highlight of the Ring o'Bells is the spectacular Devon countryside overlooking the outskirts of Kingsbridge while accompanied by one of Ryan's generous hearty English breakfasts.

Really liked it here. Lovely view of the valley and town of Kingsbridge. Room was clean. Breakfast was good and a good selection to choose from. Had an evening meal too, which was also very good.

Ouch! Had a price of £75 per night quoted but upon checkout the manager claimed that you, Expedia, had added a surcharge of £40 and when challenged refused to back down. I was not happy.

We needed somewhere to stay overnight, to start clearing my mother's house after she passed away. The ring of bells was close and available at short notice. However, despite the circumstances, we were very pleased with the hotel. Would recommend. 👍👍

Good value room with ensuite. Too hot and no recycling. Breakfast pretty small.

Very nice room. View- in the distance - of kingsbridge creek. Excellent breakfast included in the very reasonable price . Very helpful and Friendly staff. Good beer and ciders. Bed was ok , but we are used to memory foam mattress/ toppers now, so missed that. Dog friendly with no extra charge ! - very important for us!

The accommodation was good for my short stay and the service was friendly and efficient. Would stay there again for short visit, although access to the rooms was via outside star=irs which might be an issue in the wet.
