Great breakfast. Nice building.

The Sunday roast still being served at 6 was very poor quality.

Size of room and decor. I loved the hotel in all it's quirkiness.

The room was large and airy.The breakfast was great!

One of our rooms had boiler problems and so we had no hot water at all. I was disappointed that the manager made no offer of a partial refund for this inconvenience, especially as we were on a cycling trip and needed to shower. Luckily, we had hot water to the second room, so all of us were able to use that shower.

The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The food was good too and reasonably priced.

The bathroom was very tired and in need of refurbishment but again, it was clean.

The reviews for this property are really surprising considering the actual state of the hotel. It was clean, comfortable and well located. Yes it was old fashioned but it’s an old hotel - I stayed here while walking the Northumberland coast path and this was definitely not the worst hotel I stayed in, but has the worst rating. My room was actually pretty beautiful with a four poster bed, character features like shutters on the windows, and it was really quiet despite being on the main square.

The curtains in the bedroom were so thin that by 5.30am the room was in daylight

Breakfast and evening meals were very good

The rooms need a good update the shower never worked as the water was far too hot, we never complained as only there for 3 days but maybe should have. Room 28 was very dusty in places and needed a good hoover under the units and the headboard was stained. Also storage was very limited

Staff very good but unfortunately they are short staffed so this had an impact on service but food was very nice and Morgana worked very hard

Very friendly staff but they were too over worked (not enough) so had to wait for attention.

It was quiet and comfortable and I met interesting people in the restaurant. The food was good.

We enjoyed our stay. Some might find it less than ideal that the hotel is an old building. The floors creaked in our room, the toilet dripped through the night. One of the beds was lumpy. But there was no pretention that the hotel was 5 star. It was comfortable and not too high priced.

The hotel was charming and historic. The dining rooms were pleasant to eat in. Lovely garden out back.

The location was very good and the staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly.

It’s difficult to criticise because part of its charm is the age of the place, but my room was a bit tired in decor and the bathroom was dated. This may not be the case throughout the hotel.

Staff were very helpful at breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble. The setting is lovely. I had stayed at the Blue Bell almost thirty years ago, with my family in the annex, so it was great to stay in the main part of the hotel.

Sadly there's an air of tiredness and a bit of neglect in line with other posts. Unfortunately, the toilet in our bathroom refused to flush although, once we able to report it next morning, there was an immediate offer to rectify. The room was a bit spartan, the TV was a bit of a mystery with no instructions, the beds and pillows in need of a refresh but the bedding was spotlessly clean.

Location and price for a single overnight stay. Centre of Belford, a few steps away from the church where we were attending a wedding. The hotel staff were helpful in arranging for us to access our rooms early so we could freshen up and change clothes. The staff were generally friendly and most helpful. The hotel is an old coaching Inn and, although the rooms are clean, there are in need of some tlc and updating. Breakfast was more than adequate.

For the price - nothing we didn't like - would stay again - and again - and again.

Super location. Friendly welcoming staff. Well kept Gardens. A very old building with a history. Our bedroom was a good size with coffee/tea making and TV. The room was a little 'tired' but clean and comfortable. Allowing dogs in all areas was really pleasing. Breakfast was 'hearty' and all in all very good value.
