Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa

Friendly staff, great room and exceptional food.

I have stayed at this hotel several times now, the food is always very good and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately the room I had this time was very close to main road, and as a light sleeper I was disturbed by the heavy traffic.

It was in a prime location for attending a family funeral The staff were excellent and the food was very good quality.The time there was relaxing and good.

The traffic noise. as we like the window open at night and the location of the room was on the front of the hotel close to the adjacent roadway .

It looked clean

Bed was horrible. Uncomfortable with dips.

Very beautiful hotel.Double rooms were lovely. Staff were amazing.

No lift

My daughter had the Victoria suite the night before her wedding.It was amazing

No lift

Olde world, decorated tastefully.

No air conditioning, it was an extremely hot day and windows were closed. We opened the windows which made it a little more bearable.

Breakfast was good. Plenty of choice and served with a smile

Shortage of towels in the on site and also no body wash.The restaurant meal; was a disappointment. Very expensive was told that it would be 25% off but this wasn't the case when the receipt arrived. Didn't realise until I had left the hotel. Four guest's all commented on the disappointment.

We only ate at the hotel one evening, that was enough. The staff were very polite.

The noise, not a good hotel for those with children.

The breakfast was good and included with the room, which I did not realise. The staff are friendly, kind and helpful.

It wasn't easy to sleep on Saturday night because of a wedding. I could hear the music and the DJ clearly until 1 am and then the guests were loud while returning to their rooms from earlier in the evening until about quarter past 1. The noise is mentioned when booking, but I did not think it would be as bad as it was.

Clean spacious rooms, excellent food

Noisy from the air con units outside at night

Large traditional hotel with well kept grounds. Good size bedroom and bathroom, comfy bed, good coffee and tea making facilities in the room. Lovely hot shower. We were there for a wedding and it made a perfect venue with great indoor and outdoor space.

The bedroom window had a pane of glass missing and needs fixing. The sealant in the shower was mouldy and needs replacing. Drinks were expensive.

Very impressed with everything. Our son is getting married there next year so we went to have a nosey - I was also off to London the following day with my future daughter in law wedding dress shopping! Lovely room and the food was even better

Room didn’t have air conditioning (it was very hot)

Comfortable stay, hotel is nicely decorated in a classic style that’s a bit shabby chic in some areas. Bedroom was nice enough, but some fixtures like the tap were a bit loose. Food and drink was fantastic, couldn’t fault that.

No air con and a hot night was made worse by the noise of an air con unit outside the window which must been cooling somewhere else! No milk given with my coffee at breakfast so had to go over the big jug for cereals and use that, staff saw but didn’t offer me a small jug for the table. Wasps everywhere, even inside and one of colleagues got stung on the hand while eating.

The food for both evening and breakfast were top notch. Selections/choice were also great.

The shower basin was constantly blocked and overflowing when taking a shower - drains need investigating.

Friendly staff

Appreciate it’s an old hotel but rooms are looking tired and carpets are not great, no need for all the cushions on the bed and pillows are hard.

The breakfast was very good and the service at breakfast was very friendly.Our room was very spacious and we liked the traditional decor.There are lots of areas to sit and have a drink and relax.

A few touches in the bedroom - considering how spacious our room was (no. 1) the wardrobe was tiny and could only hold about four items of clothing.Also a few irritating things in the bathroom - towels could only be hung quite a way from the sink, and there was nowhere to put shower gel etc in inside the brank new shower cubicle.

Breakfast and evening meals were very good. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The hotel was ideally situated for our onward travel to Norfolk. It felt secluded and peaceful, yet was only minutes away from the major roads. We loved our session in the adjacent spa which is one of the nicest I have visited and was the reason for choosing Ye Olde Bell Hotel and Spa for our stopover.

Other guests chatting at outdoor tables outside our room at "bedtime".

Food was great /Also had a treatment at the spa which was lovely.The spa it self could do with being open later for customers staying

Room is a little dated

I booked a room on the ground floor and was given a room in a single storey building. I could park my car close by. The bathroom had a bath and shower and mybed was comfortable. The seafood and cheese sharing plates were of a high standard. I would recommend this Hotel.

No sky television to watch golf.
