Hotel was great but on your website it said it had a restaurant but didn't say it's shut Mon and Tues but luckily they was expecting a group of runners and was doing chips for them so offered to do me a burger and chips (had no choice) the breakfast was supposed to be at 8 30am ( I was the only guest that night) but was down at 8 20am and waited till 9am and still nobody came so left the pup with no breakfast very disappointed apart from that every thing was ok except the £15.50 for the burger

Hidden gem with great food

Despite some minor challenges with sorting our check-in, Kordian (B&B owner/manager) more than made up for it with his warm & friendly welcome and making us feel right at home. The room was clean and very comfortable and the fry up in a bap for breakfast was impressive! Thanks for making our trip that bit more fun : )

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.
