When the shooting season hits, they will be offering shooting packages of Bed, Full English Breakfast and evening 3 course feast for £120pp. Peter Creed, General Manager commented: When we originally found The Bell, we wanted a place with character and this place certainly ticks those boxes. One of the main objectives for us when developing the rooms was to make sure they were as comfortable as possible, and you feel like it is a proper treat away. We tested a fair number of mattresses and we feel we have found the king of all comforts.

The Bell also offers their main pub which includes - The bar which sits next to the restaurant with cosy corners and a traditional flag stoned floor, seating 15 comfortably. Next door is the 30-cover restaurant which is situated next to the kitchen where the covered woodfired oven lives. Dolly Alderton comments: ‘Every mouthful is, to my mind, heavenly.
