Overall Ratings & Reviews The Blue Bell Inn

The only negative about this property was the bed,the mattress was awfull, very uneven,uncomfortable, pillows were very hard.

Disappointed with the superior double room. It was quite small. The decor was tired. The room(room 1) was very dusty particularly beind the bed and behind the bedside tables. Cobwebs hanging from the ceiling light fitting. The carpet on the stairs leading upto the bedrooms was filthy. The pub itself was dark and dingy. The only good thing was the breakfasr which was excellent.

Owners put a fan in bedroom for us which kept us cool .......especially the dog.

Lovely stay hosts Karl and Julie hospitality first class. Room spacious and clean excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay again if in location

Nice clean room

After arriving after a long drive I was met with a phone number to ring attached to the front door.Owner arrived to tell me there would be no food or drink as there was a problem with the chef a couple of days earlier and in his words ‘Dont ever buy a Pub!’ I was told to go upstairs to the room and the exit from the building is through the fire door at the top of stairs which led down a fire escape outside. The door to this is left open which does not give you a great sense of security and I was given no key to get back in. On further inspection I realised I would be the only person in the building for the night as the owners dont live there. So with no food or drink or other humans needless to say I wasnt impressed as when I booked it gave it a very high rating and £111 per night I quickly left and had to find somewhere more suitable urgently. I left a message mentioning the issues and asked for a refund but was told no. Ive also approached Expedia who have reached out to the owner but told the same answer. I am now left wondering how this place is getting its ratings and reviews. I am more than reasonable and understand that things can go wrong in business but if there was an issue with chefs,the booking shoud not have been accepted. My advice to anyone is if you like the idea of solace,hunger and fear when it goes dark at night then this place is for you,otherwise steer well clear.

Excellent food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms could do with refurbishment. But clean and comfortable. Good value for money.

The staff were very friendly

The staff (especially the landlady) were friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely lovely Inn, great food and exceptional service.

A convenient stop off on the way to Whitby. We chose the small double as we arrived late and were leaving straight after breakfast. It was fine for a short stay. Owners very friendly and although the room was above the pub it was very quiet after 10pm. Breakfast was very good.

We had a lovely stay. Paula was a warm and welcoming host. The food was excellent especially the sea bass and there was a good choice of breakfast. Thank you.

Super room and super food well woth tje stay

Returning from Edinburgh and needed an overnight on way back. Lovely room and great breakfast. We had an evening meal which was delicious and wouldn't hesitate on staying again.

Fantastic overnight stay in the Bollinger room - with the most comfortable bed imaginable. We ate in the pub in the evening and got talking to the owner about Huddersfield pigeons and their (lack of) merits. Food brilliant - we chose a chicken and a lamb dish. Beautiful. Mediterranean cheesecake - pesto jus with olives and roasted tomatoesit it was not. Turns out it was Dark Fruit Berries !!! Super flavour. And sticky toffee pudding to die for ! Lovely breakfast in the morning. Plenty varied choice. Would we stay again ? Absolutely. Most definitely. Thank you for a great break. 🙂👏👍

Lovely location , was able to check in a little earlier which was great. Room had everything I needed Great breakfast Friendly people Will stay here again next time I’m here for work

Very friendly and hospitable staff. Lovely cosy bar area which is dog friendly for both drinks and food. Excellent breakfast with locally sourced ingredients.

This place is a little gem. The food in the evenings and the breakfast is first class. If we lived local we would definitely return for a meal. We stayed in the smallest accommodation they have available which has the worst reviews and whilst the room could do with a little TLC the overal experience of the accommodation and stay was excellent for the price paid.

Paula is great let down by large damp patches on the chimney breast in the room broken toilet seat ,you cant fill the kettle in the sink, room doors scratched and need painting noise from the bar and snoring from my neighbour through the wall sorry to say glad to leave

We stayed for our wedding anniversary, was a lovely place. The breakfast was excellent, the atmosphere was laid back and you felt you could take your time, staff kept you refilled with tea and coffee. Nice to have toast and cereal while you waited for the freshly cooked breakfast. Local sourced ingredients absolutely delicious. The hotel is in a quiet area, we were outside until after closing and it was so quiet and calm just what you need when you get away. All the staff were friendly and couldn't do anymore for you. Thank you!
