The Bell Inn, Stilton, Cambridgeshire

Visited briefly today mid morning as I was desperate for a quality cup of coffee. I wasn't disappointed. I received a fabulous warm greeting from Sally who took her time to make me feel welcome . There was a very nice relaxed atmosphere and luckily it was not hugely busy as with most places I visit. Will be coming back for more. Thank you.

Amazing location, Stilton is conveniently located just 5 minutes of the motorway junction. Lovely quiet town with lots of local charm and character. The hotel was beautiful, we stayed in Room 30, I’d recommend it. The room itself was as the pictures show, lovely and charming, extremely comfortable bed. Little balcony looking over the courtyard and well, very nice. Breakfast was delicious, included within the price we can’t believe the value for money, it was superb and the quality of breakfast all three mornings were great. We also had a meal in the main restaurant on the first night, we were impressed on how good it was for the value. We’d totally recommend and re visit should we be coming back to that neck of the woods.

We chose The Bell as a midway meeting point to meet up for a weekend with friends. We were a little concerned when we learnt at the last minute there was both a wedding & a private lunch party taking place on the Sat but it transpired this didn't have a negative effect in our visit at all. We enjoyed lunch in the bar, dinner in the Bistro area & breakfast the following morning. The food chosen by each of us was delicious & the service from everyone was friendly & attentive; it would be unfair to mention anyone individually. We had chosen a superior double & the room was very comfortable, very clean & beautifully finished. We shall certainly consider returning. We departed, of course, with a chunk of stilton from their cheese counter!

Stopped here for a lunch catch up with family and were not disappointed, the menu was comprehensive and there was something for everyone. We all had something different and all of the food was good. The welcome and service were excellent staff were very friendly. Quite a find and the building is like a shiny tooth in a row of stumps....

Believe it or not there are people in this world who still like to talk with a live being especially now that we are being inflicted with scammers. As we like to contact our accommodation by telephone we had considerable trouble making our booking, in fact, we had to make the booking and payment via a third person, a very good local and friend (thankfully), Trudi Smith, which shouldn't have happened if there were staff answered the telephone. It would be in the hotel's best interests if this was addressed. Once the booking issue was resolved, we were very well received and the staff were exemplary upon our arrival from Australia. We couldn't have had better accommodation. We intend staying at the Bell in future, hopefully the communication is resolved by then.

Lovely place clean and friendly food was great good value for money . Good location for wedding I was attending

Friendly check in. Superior room lacked character for such a historic building but was clean and had a large comfy bed. Robes and slippers provided but only 1 hot choc sachet on tea tray. 2 packs of biscuits and 2 bottles of water but no premium arrival treats as in the room description. We had dinner in the bar. The fire was not lit and it did feel quite chilly. The food was nice but overpriced. Staff were friendly but overstretched so service was slow. Breakfast is served in the lovely upstairs restaurant. The cooked full English was very nice but despite the breakfast menu offering pastries and fresh fruit these items were not available. Would stay again if we were in the area.

Stayed here overnight on a Friday as we were attending a wedding nearby. Our room was ready early so we were allowed to put our belongings into the room, and get changed for the wedding in comfort. The room was clean, comfortable and traditional. We didn't have an evening meal, but we did have breakfast the following morning. The menu and service was great! If we're ever this way again, we would definitely stay here. The only thing that didn't go to plan, was us leaving behind our iPhone charger, oops!

The staff were incredibly accommodating for my late arrival, the beakfast was delicious (large menu) and reception were so kind to post on something I accidentally left in my room.
