We booked at very short notice to stay overnight at The Bell following a visit to a friend's birthday celebration. Staff were all very pleasant, room was clean and had everything we needed. Our stay included full English breakfast and the breakfast was great - 'proper' bread, tasty sausages and bacon and served with a smile in a very nice... More

Given the keys to Room 2, I opened door & was gutted as it was nothing like the rooms I saw in the photos. Where do I start - paper was torn/peeling from the walls, curtain rail coming away from the ceiling in the bathroom, a broken fitting on the bathroom wall, shower (if thats what you call it) no...

The Bell Inn is a small (about 8 bedrooms) three star hotel which is part of a local pub. The staff and regulars were very friendly and the food was honest without being grand. It is warm and quite comfortable. The rooms are not that large but are sufficient. Rickinghall is a long village with attractive cottages and a long... More

This is a traditional pub but with a very homely feel. Throughout the winter the owners have lit the fire and made it a cosy place to drink and eat. The staff are well trained and very courteous and the place is very friendly indeed. The food is the right price and the menu is not to big or small... More

Everything was fresh and tasty. We sat in the garden and enjoyed the late sun. Staff friendly and attentive. Bit like the locals! Worth a... More

Small pub/hotel. Very comfortable room, excellent meals and good local ales. All staff are very friendly and helpful and locals make you welcome. House keeping could be a little bit better in the bathroom, and seats in the bar need to be recovered, but overall a very nice stay.

My family and I stayed at The Bell Inn during a weekend in July 2012. We had booked 5 out of the 8 rooms. All the rooms were comfortable and spotlessly clean. The Shower/bath rooms were clean. The only gripe is that the showers went hot and cold, a constant temperature could not be attained!!! The breakfast's were great, 3... More
