A pleasant old hotel. Ideally situated for visits to RSPB Minsmere and other parts of the Suffolk coast.

It is in an excellent position, and good arrangements have been made for car parking. Having an elevator in some of these old “country” hotels can be a rarity, so we were glad the Bell’s renovation included one! We also very much enjoyed our evening meal.

Location, old building, comfy bed. Massive bath.

Bed/bath/room/staff were fab! Food was also great 8/10 - however I thought some of the dishes were a bit confused. Maybe trying too hard. A very strange basil cream cheese with lemon tart and raspberries was odd. But the rest of the meal was good. Stick to the classics guys! They always win in the end.

It was a little noisy in the room from the street outside, but it’s a very quiet street and I slept well.

Great location, comfy bed, excellent breakfast.

Stuffy not nice smell, but fine after a while when opened window. Did not like the sound of air conditioning outside but fine when turned off.

Old building and tastefully newly finished with contemporary fittings. Very clean and comfortable

This is such a shame but needs to be shared. Snape is room 1 and located above the kitchen. Unfortunately throughout the entire night a chiller/fridge was continuously switching on and off with a constant humming noise coming through the ceiling just below where our bed was located. We hardly slept over the two night stay. This noise was even heard with ear plugs in.

The food is outstanding. Everything we ate was delicious and well prepared. Very tasty dishes and lots of choice. The staff were exceptional and super helpful. The hotel was well laid out and lots of nice places to sit. Our room - Snape - was spotless and beautifully decorated with everything you could want during your stay.

Hot bedroom

Lovely hotel, breakfast good and restaurant and bar really nice. We enjoyed drinking in a relaxed bar and eating in the hotel restaurant. The food was delicious. The hotel room was great however a little hot even with the radiator turned off, however they did have a good fan unit already in the room. We would recommend this hotel and would return.

The mattress was a little uncomfortable and not very supportive and the double bed could have been a larger size given the size of the room (Woodbridge). The bedding was lovely though. The hairdryer in the room is useful, but the coiled cord made it difficult to pull away from the wall to actually dry your hair!

I like the location and the room decor and bathroom which were both extremely clean. The breakfast was superb and the staff extremely approachable and attentive.

The Bell has been beautifully refurbished and the food and staff excellent. We had a dog friendly room, and he was very well catered for too! Dog bed, bowl and treats at the bar!

Restaurant not fully open for dinner on a Monday night so had to travel but this is a common issue in this area in February and wasn't major as we had a car. Didn't like having to pay a £50 holding fee on check in when the room had already been paid for in advance of arrival and this is not mentioned anywhere on booking.com terms and conditions for this hotel. It was however promptly returned later in the day after checkout .

Booked the spacious room for one night. Beautiful room and bathroom with coffee and tea making facilities . Staff couldn't be faulted, very friendly and can't do enough for you . Parking was free a short distance from the hotel. Breakfast was excellent.Highly recommend.
