"A lovely little stay at a nice property. Breakfast was very much appreciated. There is no washer/dryer facilities for laundry at this property, only washing drying of scuba suits."

"First visit here and very pleasantly surprised. We arrived about 7pm and immediately you could feel it had a very good ambience. It was busy with most people enjoying an eveing meal. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We hadn't booked a table for our evening meal as we weren't sure of our plans when booking the room. However, on arrival staff enquired if we wished to dine and a table was reserved for us at 8pm. The food here very good and generous. I had duck spring rolls which were fab and my husbands chicken supreme was equally great. Looking around I could see diners really enjoying the food. We stayed in the Bamburgh room which was very spacious, comfy bed and a really lovely en suite bathroom which was beautifully done out complete with rain shower. The room and bathroom were nice and warm. Bathroom towels were lovely, soft and scrumptious. The only downside was there was a sofa located at the bottom of the bed which was quite worn and probably should be replaced but other than that the room was lovely and tastefully decorated. As mentioned, very spacious. Breakfast was help yourself to tea, coffee soft drinks, 4 types of cereal, toast (toast it yourself in the toasting machine which was the best I've ever used!) plain yohurt, grapes and melon. Orders were taken for your cooked selection, full english etc. A really lovely place with great food. Will definitely return as a stop off on our journeys to Scotland as its a short drive from the A1."

"Fabulous thank you for a lovely stay, friendly, welcoming and a lovely place to stay"

"Our first time at the Blue Bell, but won’t be our last! Really comfortable beds and pillows in a nice room with a lovely new bathroom. Food was excellent and all the staff, from Keith , the landlord, down, are friendly, kind and helpful, and all were happy in their jobs. We will be back! "
