Overall Ratings & Reviews The Bell Inn

Unplanned stay, since our original spot didnt work out.. It turned out to be a lucky break. The area, New Forest, is beautiful, with ponies roaming wild, and an excellent pub across the road. Staff were helpful and rooms comfortable.

A lovely stay. The only downside was radiator in the room wasn’t working, so a little cold.

Great place but breakfast is massively overpriced. One option of paying £29.99. Weather you want a limited continental or just scrambled eggs in toast it’s one price. Quite archaic.

The area and the hotel was really nice

Very nice room, all well appointed and very clean. Hotel had a very nice atmosphere with extremely helpful, friendly and efficient staff

An excellent overnight stay with a very good sized room. The food was too a very high standard and a good choice from the menu. Only issue I had was the bathroom was very hot despite the towel rail was not on and could not see how to turn the heating off , this is a minor issue but would recommend this hotel to anyone staying nearby

Unfortunately, a massive disappointment. Room was supposed to be a deluxe for four, could barely fit one bed in. Food & breakfast overpriced, room too warm, music playing from upstairs till late at night. One nice lady on reception; one rude with a poor attitude. TV in room didn’t work. This is a 2-star hotel really. I would expect a partial refund for what we experienced.

The Reception of guests on arrival and during one’s stay is vital for establishing a warm welcome and stay. Both Shirley and Kayleigh are very professional and did that throughout our stay. Please pass our thanks onto both of them. If you would like some constructive feedback please encourage and guide the younger young lady who was on reception when we first arrived early for some advice and assurance prior to our 3.00 pm arrival that afternoon to our booked room Who greeted us with a disinterested “ Hello” and who took some time for me to extract a smile. I’m sure she has great potential. Thomas was and is also Excellent and carried our cases to the room, managed the bar with aplomb and made us so welcome for meals and finding us the right table. I hope the above is useful feedback and we look forward to returning again.

Nice stay: friendly staff, room nice but nothing too special and quite hot so wouldn’t want to stay in summer, pretty location but not walking distance to any cafes/villages etc. Quite baffled that the breakfast was £50 (£25pp) which was more than the beef Sunday roast….?!

All round excellent stay

Everything about the Hotel was good BUT DONT STAY IN ROOM 18 as the vent for the kitchen is very noisy and goes 24 hours a day

Staff were brilliant. Also spa facilities and gym are nice. Turndown service did not refresh the room amenities like coffee, drinking water etc.

The hotel is lovely with horses and donkeys wandering around across the street. The staff were all lovely and very welcoming - we stayed with our cocker spaniel and could eat and drink at some nice tables near the log fire. The hotel provided dog treats and water bowls. The food was very good with a chestnut and wild mushroom gnocchi being a favourite. Room and beds very comfortable and decent Wi-Fi throughout.

Very clean, friendly staff, quiet, lumpy bed mattress and old carpet and furniture.

Lovely hotel in a lovely location

Great place. breakfast was soooo good

Great stay. A clean, comfortable and nicely laid out room. Great food and good service

Good location, friendly staff and good food and drink options. Would stay here again.

Everyone was so friendly and we were upgraded for free the dinner was superb

I loved how doggy friendly the hotel was, they made me and my pooch very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
