stay was just what needed, nice comfy room, easy access to and from area needed to get back to. Food well cooked, this not my first stay here

Clean enough for us but not hotel standard. Small room so the slanted roof did make getting in bed slightly difficult. Towels, bedding, shampoo, shower gel and tea/coffee supplied. Staff were friendly. It is quiet loud in the evening with people outside and with traffic in the morning. They do not do breakfast despite it stating that they do on their website, inconvenient but we found a diner nearby. Large car park but was very full, we had to park elsewhere until pub was almost closing.

It was a comfortable 2 night stay. A better menu would have made for an excellent stay.

The inn is in the middle of nowhere but the rooms are cozy & the pub is great. Strong wifi signal adds a lot of value as well.

When the booking was made there was no indication on the website, that the pub didnt serve food apart from a basic pizza, or that the main road noise was constant throughout the night. It was really disappointing, but at least the room was comfortable.

A very convenient place to stay near Maidstone. Easy to find. My later arrival was easily accommodated and the stay was quiet and comfortable. A comfortable bed and a good shower highlighted my stay. Car parking is close and plentiful. Basic stay with NO breakfast but a food menu is available for the evening meal.

Staff were helpful & friendly. Rooms were at the back of the pub in a converted out building. Small, nicely decorated, bed comfortable but they must have a damp problem. The rooms really smell damp. Which is a shame as they were reasonably priced.

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, lovely pub. Some background traffic noise as near to a major road. Liquid soap and shower gel provided but why no small bar of soap for washing your hands.

Useful location for access to main routes. Room not large but comfy beds. Pub attached. Perfect for a one night travelling stop.

Was ok for a quick stay. People were nice. Smelt damp. Furniture was in strange order. Side light didn’t work. Just needed a deep cleaning.

Friendly welcome, helpful staff. Good food available in the pub at a reasonable price.

Perfect for an overnight stay. A glass and soap wouldn't go astray in the bathroom and a spring clean to remove all the cobwebs would help.

Amber was very welcoming with some welcome humour as well. As single rooms go, it was comfortable with everything you need and had a new carpet. The only downside was the plumbing was a bit noisy when other guests were using it.
The pub is convenient and the food & drink was very good. Would stay there again.

The staff were friendly and looked after us, they came in everyday and gave us clean towels and replaced teas, coffees, sugar, and generally cleaned the room. The beds were very comfortable, the only trouble was that there was damp in the bathroom and you could smell it and the fan in the bathroom was very noisy. Didn't get breakfast but they offered meals during the day, times varied when you got a meal. They were fine a bit expensive, and far too much and if you had eaten there a few times the menu didn't change. Would be fine for a couple of nights but no longer we stayed there for 2 weeks

Nice room, we had damp towels, very noisy as close to a busy road but nice hot shower, comfy bed

Overall not bad: friendly staff, clean room, convenient location. Downsides: radiator didn’t work - they had provided a tiny plug-in heater which did eventually heat the room, the free wi-fi was non-existent in the room (not sure about the pub itself), tv signal was very poor and the kettle was temperamental about actually boiling or just getting lukewarm and then shutting off. For the price, it was an ok place to stay if you just need a bed for the night but I’m not sure I’d like to stay more than one night at a time there

Looking good at first sight it was a bit disappointing. No breakfast, no interest in giving us a good experience. Lacks maintainance, cleaning and clearing which is a shame as it looks cute and has proven to be a good starting point for our trip to Wales.

The Lower Bell's location was perfect for where I needed to be.
The lady who showed me to my room was cheery and friendly, however en route to the room, the external area of the barn was a mess and would probably fail health and safety, as there were boilers and other bulky items cluttering the courtyard.
When I booked, I was aware of the main road however, I did not anticipate quite the amount of constant, heavy traffic throughout the night and so, if like myself, you are a light sleeper, then this accommodation will not suit you. Sadly, I didn't sleep at all throughout my stay.
I strongly recommend the mattress and pillows be replaced - that's all I'm going to say here!!
Whilst the ensuite was clean, there are things that need attention like the lever for the sink plug needs fixing; the shower doors were jamming and the 'rail' the doors slid along, were black with mould.
The wooden beams in both ensuite and bedroom were so dusty made the place 'feel' unclean, especially with bugs crawling around!
On the plus side, towels were clean and no noise from other visitors - apart from the odd snore ;-)
