We had been wanting to try here for some time after seeing a recommendation What an absolutely stunning venue Felt like stepping back in time Warm welcome from the hotel reception she guided us to the dining room We approached the bar and was served by a very friendly blond lady who let me try the cider before I bought it. Cider was lovely. The lady went to find out if they had room for us in dining room as the evening was fully booked but as we were early they were able to fit us in. Lovely gentleman seated us to our table didn't catch his name but he had a Liverpool accent Service was friendly and professional Starters we shared the Welsh rarebit it was very good My husband had the fish and chips and I had the burger Everything was fresh hot and delicious The Stilton sauce we ordered was gorgeous Just a quick bite to eat tonight as we are so busy with work We would like to definitely come back when we have more time An overnight and spa would be perfect Thank you for the delicious food a wonderful service Kind Regards Sarah & Ross

Lunch with friends in St Leger bistro - a very friendly, characterful hotel and restaurant with a varied lunch menu. We chose from the Festive menu and were all very pleased with our food. The service was attentive, but we weren't rushed and there was plenty of time between courses.

Beds okay but pillows quite hard Thought drinks were very pricey 2x half lagers with the SMALLEST ( requested) amount of blackcurrant and lime respectively were almost £10 The cordial costing £2.20 yet probably only had about 1 dsp in each glass So not impressed with that

Often stay here for business, rooms are lovely and staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly. Always a good bit of food in the restaurant to. I stay here often for business trips to the local area and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else.

Wonderful 2 night stay at Ye Olde Bell. The old buildings have such character and charm and are surrounded by beautiful gardens with the bonus of a large playing field and playground at the back of the car park. Super friendly staff always smiling and welcoming…a real home from home.
