I couldn’t have loved this place more, great quirky rooms a real old pub feel with fantastic delicious food and great drink choices, a pleasant away from the woeful Madri and Carling most pubs now stock. The service was attentive, friendly and speedy. The place had a real nice village vibe with pleasant interesting locals. Only down side, the WiFi was none existent in my room.

The Bell Inn is a fabulous example of a quirky and eccentric coaching inn incomparable to any other. Fabulous attention to detail, beautiful luxurious rooms. We would have no hesitation in recommending. However be prepared if you stay in the main hotel rooms to either stay up in the bar until it closes or to listen to every word and every cheers from the comfort of your own room.

We had issues with the room ( not up to standard for the price paid) ) but these were addressed and sorted out the receptionist Em was very professional and helpful. Food at the hotel was disappointing.. very expensive very small servings and rather tasteless. The pub itself is gorgeous with fires and cozy areas to sit and staff are lovely.

Quirky and charming

We booked to stay as it was near to Wadhurst Castle where we were attending a wedding. The room was The Yew and Eye. Spotlessly clean and a lovely area out the front to sit and enjoy a drink. Very quirky but charming. The welcome at reception and talk through in the room was excellent. The young lady even took a few moments out of her very busy day to give us a brief history of the pub. The bar was busy but well staffed. Breakfast was ample , fresh and most welcome

A super friendly welcome and a room upgrade would normally justify a 5* review, but unfortunately the pub failed to notify us that they were hosting a wedding party that evening. Loud music until 11.15 and then people singing/talking loudly until midnight. We were told that guests are usually informed when booking, but we must have slipped through the net because we made a late booking (2 days prior) and a new member of staff was on duty. I’d recommend checking before you book your stay.
