Sandwich is a beautiful town and the Bell is wonderfully located by the Quay. The hotel's parking space is very limited, but adjacent is a public Pay and Display car park: 80p an hour or £6 a day (between 9:00 am and 5:30 pm every day -- free outside these hours). The hotel is picturesque and idiosyncratic. You could get... More

Just returned from an excellent two day trip to Sandwich staying at The Bell. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff and they even had maps printed for us of local walks. The room was large with lovely views over the river and a balcony which in summer would be delightful. (25), We had both a... More

We were visiting Sandwich again, after a break of 30yrs, taking elderly parents away for a short break. The rooms were fresh with plump white towels--only a small detail, but means such a lot. We booked a table at the restaurant for convenience (don't usually rate hotel food compared to local restaurants) but would have no hesitation in eating there... More

I took my husband to the Bell Hotel for his 40th and just had to review the stay as it was faultless. They upgraded us to an amazing room which overlooked the river. The staff throughout our stay were atttentive, even late at night when we returned to the hotel. One of the breakfast staff was a older gentleman with... More

After an efficient but rather formal greeting we found to this to be a lovely hotel. The staff was always helpful and efficient. We thought dinner here was special and the English breakfast was better than average. Again the waiting staff was superb. The bedrooms depend on which number you get, hence the varied reviews. Ours was number 14 which... More

This hotel has recently been bought by a large brewery. To continue to charge these prices they need to plough finance into the hotel. Certain areas need tweaking: Bedroom furniture not good Bedrooms not planned well - no mirror over dressing table- no shaving light in bathroom Poor quality toiletries Windows need replacing or renovating - draughts everywhere- bathroom freezing...

Stayed there for one night on a January weekend. The town of Sandwich is wonderfully old and unspoilt by tourism. Every single member of staff we encountered were friendly and helpful and took the time to chat. The hotel was clean and had a cosy feel to it. I'd say the only downside was the lack of parking. We were... More

For the second year running, we enjoyed with a party of friends, a "dinner, bed and breakfast deal" at The Bell. Once again we had a thoroughly enjoyable time for what was excellent value. All the staff are very friendly and "smiley" and welcoming. The evening meal gave us all a good and varied choice, excellently cooked and presented. The... More
