Six Bells Inn

Wonderful stay at this pretty little pub with delicious food and friendly staff. Lovely scenery and a short stroll to a local artisan bakery.

If I was going for a meal, then I wouldn't hesitate to give this place 4 stars, but to stay, well, that was a very different experience. The rooms are clearly in a converted stable block. No issue there, but seemed closer to its original use than as a nice place to stay. First impression was not great - I'm all for rustic/distressed look, but this room just came across as more shabby - less chic. Not sure if the furniture was meant to look as it did, but it really did not look good! Little things like missing curtain hooks, making them hang all squint, poor finishes etc, raised my hackles a bit, then the cleanliness issues became apparent... Big obvious cobwebs on the curtain poles and dangling from the ceiling indicated the level of cleaning that had been performed. Then the bathroom... the ceiling fan had clearly never had a quick vacuum, and the soap tray was not pleasant. Also in the photos is the questionable electrics situation! The bed itself was spotless, and it was a bonus that there was a spare blanket... I tend to run quite hot, but I kept my down jacket on when in the room, as it was uncomfortably cold. The shower room has no radiator, but there is an electric fan heater on a timer, once you can figure out how to get it going - I used this to try and heat the room in general up. The soap tray aside, the shower was disappointing - somewhat akin to walking outside on a misty day. A suggestion would be to have refillable shampoo/soap containers, as the couple of sachets (confusingly kept in the main room, rather than the shower room) didn't go far. To have no hand soap available was also not ideal/hygienic. Evening meal was perfectly adequate, as was the breakfast, and staff were friendly and welcoming, but the stay in the room was possibly the worst I have had in decades of travelling. Sorry, but I just could not recommend.

The hotel is part of a historic inn which was very a**ospheric. We stayed in a family room for 3 people and the room was warm and cosy and welcoming as we arrived just before 9pm and it was a bit chilly in the countryside. Breakfast was excellent and in a nice dining room in a genuine rural setting. Service was friendly & excellent.

Wi fi might not work in room, depending on which room you are in. Breakfast good. Evening Meal was great. Traditional village pub feel. Close to major road link.

The hotel was delightful, the rooms were a good size and the beds were extremely comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food plentiful. A very enjoyable stay.

Peace & Tranquility , great place , top nosh & plentiful. Breakfast was freshly cooked & delicious. Highly Recommended

clean tidy food fantastic

The Hotel is a quaint little old fashioned place in what can only be described as the middle of nowhere. The room was very comfortable and does everything you need from a hotel room. They could put some shower gel in the bathroom though. It was unusual not to find those small extras.

2 Nd time we’ve stayed here visiting family nearby. Really nice place to stay, clean and tidy in an idilic country setting - basically on the middle of a field. Staff were all amazing and helpful and friendly. Only issue NOT THIER FAULT , £23 in a taxi for a 5 minute drive back. ( same price quoted. Any time of day ) NOTE: Uber takes payment £7-9 then cancels as no drivers available!
