We stayed three nights at the Bell Inn as part of our 50th year anniversary trip. We could not recommend the Bell Inn more highly. John and his staff made us feel incredibly welcomed. Our room was comfy, the food was terrific (do not believe those who denigrate British food), and the staff was friendly and attentive. We loved the atmosphere in the pub. JR Tolkien would be proud to see how well the place has held up.
Best pub in town without a doubt!
Friendly staff, very cozy, nice courtyard and well themed. The map of middle-earth on the wall was a really nice touch.
The food was good and arrived swiftly, overall great service. Plus, the pub dog was adorable and friendly too.
If you’re ever in the area and considering a pub to visit, The Bell Inn is the only right choice.
Great bear, friendly staff, and good service. When we visited, the restaurant was closed, but the alternative pizza menu was brilliant. The only sad bit was the lack of a Lord of the Rings information, it's the inspiration for the prancing pony in Bree, and maybe a themed pizza or beer and some info would really add to the experience... but that shouldn't detract from the fact that it's a lovely place, with good friendly service.
