The six bells

Lovely little b n b in its great staff. Room was clean and comfy. We were going to a concert at Englefied house. Got an uber there. We were told by the bar staff that they would be open until midnight for our return so that we could have a drink before bed but in our return the lad behind the bar told us they had closed at 10-45pm and we couldn’t have one even although we had a tab and were staying there. In the morning the owner done our breakfast and he was a pleasure to deal with. All in all I would return and stay again but would triple check closing time of the bar

Not what I expected but ok for the price

Advertised to have the option to 'unwind at the bar or restaurant' - neither of which were serving food the night I stayed. Also advertised as having a 'cooked to order breakfast' - all that was available was 2 types of cereal in their boxes, some yoghurts and some berries, still in their plastic supermarket containers. The staff were lovely and despite my room not being ready due to a glitch with the cleaner, my stay was ok. The room was hot, the bed had a thick, feather duvet on it and only a small fan to keep cool.

Absolutely fantastic stay at the Six Bells in the lovely village of Beenham. Great staff and a friendly welcome. Decent clean rooms with en suite and a hot shower. Plenty of free on site parking. Great food and one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Great range of beers and spirits too. Would highly recommend.

For my short stay all was well. The menu was a little limited for my chosen diet. Great value for money with an included breakfast. Clean and tidy. ALL staff seemed happy and I was made very welcome. Parking is good too. A nice quiet country location with a lovely view from my window. Facilities very good and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend The Six Bell if asked.

No food available

Hotel was ok, room was up to a reasonable standard but was very dusty on furniture. Biggest problem was the restaurant is closed on a Monday and a Tuesday, this wasn't pointed out at time of booking. This resulted in a 5 mile drive to the nearest pub for food which was not ideal.

Couldn’t book in until 5pm which I think is quite late and had to be out by 10am. Room was far too hot even with the window open. No instructions in the room whatsoever regarding meals or checkout. Apparently breakfast had to be pre-ordered the day before at the bar so on the first morning when we went down for breakfast we waited 15 mins along with another guest for someone to come and were lead into the breakfast room via the kitchen. Service was slow. We left our breakfast details on the bar for the 2nd day but when we got there everywhere was locked up. We tried the mobile number on the door but know-body answered Really unorganised. The breakfast forms should have been in our room and there should have been a box for guests to put them into. Then when we came to leave there were no instructions of what to do with the room keys and there wasn’t anyone there to ask. Once again a box to deposit keys into is required. Such a shame -this hotel was a 5min drive from our sons home but we won’t be returning.

The owner was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for me. Room was comfortable and more than enough size for my needs. Got a bit confused with the TV as I couldn't get life tv but many apps were there to stream programs and films. Cooked breakfast was excellent.

The room was good, clean and just what we expected. When we arrived, mid afternoon, we were told that the pub was closing for a couple of hours. The restaurant side wasnt serving food either! We managed to book food at a pub about a mile away. So insted of just spending the afternoon and evening in one place we had to go to another pub to eat and drink. The pub and restaurant looked good of what we saw, so was a bit baffling why it wasnt opened. If we knew that before hand we wouldnt have booked to stay there. Very disappointed that we were not notified of this. It wasn't on the site we booked from.
