"We stayed for one night at the Bell, pub/ hotel. We had booked the best room as it advertised a Super-king bed. £170 per night comfortable but too expensive for what it was Also no body mentions during the booking stage it is upstairs and I have difficulty with stairs. Cameron greeted us with a friendly greeting and did swap the room for a shower instead of a bath. Unfortunately the room was over the outside seating area and there was a noisy crowd with very loud voices. So don’t pick that room in the summer. We had booked in the restaurant for Dinner. I had the Ribeye Steak with a small side of chips and some green dressing. Steak was fatty and tough.Greens had too much dressing. £36:00 didn’t realise it cost that much. My husband had a Pizza £16:00. One beer £6:20 x 2 desserts £77:00 shocked when received the bill. Then in the morning thought breakfast was included but was only the continental breakfast. Bacon sandwich was a charge of £5:00 and was very fatty as well. Will not be returning. Nice place. Friendly staff but just too expensive."

"Excited to return to one of our favourite pubs for dinner. It had been several years since we’d visited, and this evening was a little special to treat a very good friend. For mains I ordered scampi, chips and peas. First of all when you order scampi you would expect to receive scampi but no I did not. What was on my plate was tasteless prawns in bread crumbs. To top that, there were only eight of them with a plate three quarters covered in pale yellow chips, and a small bowl of peas. That for £17.00 did not go down well. My friend ordered, salmon filet with sweet chilli sauce, rice and Pak Choi. The rice and Pak Choi were stone cold. The salmon was nice. My friend struggled to enjoy her meal and being typically English did not want to complain. I, however and Mediterranean and if the food is no good then I will politly say something. I informed the waitress that the rice and Pak Choi were cold, which she kindly took back to the chef only to return it several minutes later steaming hot with the fish now completely dried out. I informed her that I was not happy to be paying for scampi only to have prawns which were tasteless, hidden in thick breadcrumbs and not been informed that the scampi would be substituted by the chef and not have the decency to inform the customer. My only conclusion is that the chef couldn’t possibly tell the difference between prawns and scampi. No personal came to offer an explanation, let alone apologise. The two waitresses were lovely. Daylight robbery! Will not return or recommend."

"It was our first visit and the food was good. Our meal (approximately £20 each) came with a flatbread which was a quarter of a tortilla wrap which became greasy as the meat sat on top hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, it was nice. The service was OK but didn't come and check through the meal if we wanted another drink or if our food was ok. I would go again. Overall cost was about £60 with 2 and half beers and 2 meals which included 2 meat skewers Also has a small carpark but we parked on the road Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Iskender Kebab"

"Three of us tend to go out for breakfast around once a month. I had read good reviews so phoned to see if a reservation was needed or if we could just walk in. Told they would reserve a table for us anyway. when we arrived the café was empty but quickly filled up so maybe just as well I had phoned to check. All had the full English and all were very happy, in particular the sausages and bacon seemed really high quality, from local sources. Very generous portions. Just over a tenner each for a large breakfast plus tea and coffee. Great value for money and friendly professional service."
