What a place! We’ve lived in Hemel Hampstead for many years but have never ventured to this hotel, but after hearing about it from our friends, we had to go!
We stayed for one night and had dinner and breakfast - what an absolute treat! We were checked in by Mentali who was cheerful and polite, and made sure to make us feel welcome.
The room was great and both meals were fantastic! We both had the salmon and the steak and couldn’t find anything wrong with either - perfect food in a perfect place!
The highlight of our stay was the assistance and care we received from James and his team; He served us in the evening and we couldn’t have asked for more. He was polite and courteous and knew the menu and allergens inside and out. The team on the terrace looked after us well, and we will absolutely return. Breakfast was a treat and Martin and Carol brightened our morning.
It was a wonderful stay at the Bell Hotel. It was our first time at this hotel and we wanted to explore the coastal towns of Suffolk, the location was perfect. The room was excellent, very well decorated and furnished, the bed was very comfortable and the shower room was large and clean. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. We were able to chill out in the bar and enjoy an afternoon tea and read, there is also another lounge area in the next room. The food was excellent, we had wonderfully cooked breakfasts and evening meal, the Chef produces excellent creative food. We will be going back for another stay.
