My stay at The Olde Bell was a mixed bag. The charming old buildings exuded an inviting atmosphere, and I particularly enjoyed the large garden, perfect for some leisurely outdoor time. However, my room felt oddly furnished; while it was spacious, it missed the mark with its sparse decor. The service staff were friendly, but the breakfast left something to be desired. Overall, it was a nice place, but I might steer clear during busy wedding events. 🌿✨

I recently stayed at The Olde Bell for a wedding, and while the setting was stunning and the service friendly, my experience wasn't without its flaws. My room, though spacious and comfortable, didn't quite match the beautiful gallery pictures. Breakfast, while decent, lacked the quality I had hoped for given the cost.
