The Old Bell Inn★★★★

Inspector comments
"Welcoming inn, friendly team and a record-breaking choice of gins."
Overview
Formerly a coaching inn dating back to 1835 and situated in a rural village yet close to motorway links, The Old Bell has a quiet ambience allied with refined service. Hospitality is a real strength of the young and enthusiastic team. Bedrooms offer space, quality and comfort. The conservatory lounge is the perfect place to finish the evening after dinner in the modern restaurant. With over 1,100 different gins in the Old Bell Emporium it’s no wonder that the owner holds a Guinness World Record title; there’s an annual gin fair too.
