The Bell has a hint of old World charm with modern sensibilities and is every bit the archetypal hidden gem. Me and my partner stayed here on a beautiful Saturday after a long drive down South and took advantage of the very reasonable Weekend rates. The room we stayed in was perhaps a little snug and functional but was very... More

First time staying away with our 15 month old Irish Setter, Bess. Bess is a bit lively to say the least, and I was concerned how even a 'dog friendly' place would deal with her. I needn't have worried one bit. From the very first 'we're all dog lovers here', to the welcome Bonio in the bedroom our stay was... More

We have stated at the Bell several times on our trips to England, and it's always something that we look forward to. Unlike the typical (impersonal) hotels that we stay in in the U.S., staying at the Bell is like being invited into the home of the proprietors, Paul & Helen. While the Bell offers nice en-suite rooms with all... More

The staff were polite and attentive, the room was quite large, clean and warm and the... More

Very friendly and helpful staff, wonderful food. A little haphazard at breakfast, no menu, just asked what do you want? Good clean well furnished room, tiny en-suite though. Dogs very welcome, even had doggie biscuits left in room. Outside was a little tired, but dont be put off. Owners with a big heart and tried hard to make our stay... More

Everything was perfect...welcome warm and generous. Rooms comfy and quiet. Staff wonderful, did everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxed. Cannot praise the food enough...everything we ate was superb, in particular the black pudding and duck egg starter! Can't wait to go again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

I visited on Easter Sunday for lunch with the family. The food was top notch - I had a mango and haloumi salad followed by a generous Sunday roast chicken with all the trimmings. It was all great and special mentions go to the massive Yorkshire pudding which melted in the mouth and the gravy which was delicious. I noticed... More

A fantastic pub and inn with country charm in a tiny quaint English village but with all mod cons including free wifi. I will be going back there. Rooms are cosy and well appointed. Generous tea and coffee and biscuits in the room. Dinner menu was varied and food very tasty. Friendly and accommodating staff. We felt immediately at home.... More

Great local ale Well cooked food but found the flat slate plate with gravy a bit awkward General atmosphere just a bit bland but that could be because it was a Wednesday night Would recommend but not as first choice in the area

On the way to see a new farmshop, we passed through Boxford and decided to drop in and see what was on offer. We've eaten at the Bell before and have never been disappointed by the food. It was a pretty dreary day and the place was empty when we arrived but the bar was warm and there were papers... More
