"this is a really great place to stay. our room was amazing that we had both front and back, a large bed and a nice bathroom. the beautiful touches in the room, such as orange juice, a bowl, a pan au chocolat and proper coffee! we ate breakfast in the hotel on both morning of our stay and could not have the quality and service of the eier benedikt was amazing! all the staff we met were extremely friendly and helpful. the location of this hotel makes it ideal for the beach and is just a short walk to the capital so that it is beautiful and quiet outside the peak season. my only little critique was the light on the staircase, which remains at night and screamed under the bedroom door. we could not find the switch to turn it off, so the kissen ended at the bottom of the door. It worked, but what better would be the installation of PIR lights."

"Having been a regular customer for over a decade to The Bell Inn, I was left very underwhelmed this time. Room was lovely and clean as usual, Tom on reception was fab. We chose to dine in the restaurant as normal and booked for 730pm so we had a nice long evening to enjoy eating and drinking. The menu is now very limited compared to previous years, we chose to have 4 starters to share and some rose wine with bread to start. Slight delay on bread, which came crammed on a small plate, which we had to ask for side plates after waiting for the waitress to reappear…the oil and balsamic was awful, there was so much oil chucked in the ramekin we had to ask for another, to pour some off to try and get to the vinegar. Food came out, and was put on table, again had to ask for side plates as we were sharing and still had bread on the other ones. No drinks check. Had to wait at bar to order more. Food was mediocre at best, we both have very good appetites especially after the harbour walk and some wine! but both ended up just picking at it. Ended up going to room with our wine very early, the only other table in the restaurant that was occupied had some sort of problem ordering due to “fryers being turned off” and got sandwiches and chips instead! Slept well as usual. Went for a quick dog walk before breakfast and narrowly avoided being hit by the chef arriving at 845am in the car park. Arrived on time for breakfast at 9am, lovely, lovely waitress served us, ordered full English and pot of tea, partner the same with coffee. Took a sip of the tea and it was barely lukewarm… spoke to waitress who was very apologetic and bought me a fresh one, turns out the rest of the room all had the same problem with tea and coffee as the urn hadn’t been turned on in time see chef comment food came out and was delicious and hot, and top quality as usual, we cleared our plates! Room was spotlessly clean, and the Tyneham hand wash/cream is so good! Overall disappointing as I know how good this place can be, and the first time I’ve ever encountered any problems. As stated before it was not busy in the slightest compared to previous years, so no excuse really. I will return as The Bell holds dear memories for me, I hope next year it will have ironed out these problems and be back to full glory!"

"Very disappointed! Booked online for service at 6:00pm. Had confirmation email and a reminder to confirm time and date. When we arrived at 5:50pm we were told that we could not be accommodated as our booking was for 7:30pm. Showed the staff the confirmatory email and there response was in my opinion underwhelming, and they did not understand what had gone wrong. The outcome was that we did not get a meal and had to alter our plans. We were looking forward to the meal as the menu looked very enticing. A pity we never got the chance to try it."

"we are just after an amazing evening in the swan for our 15th Wedding Jubilee,Staff, where so helpful and polite and had a lot of knowledge on the building. our room was stunning and a beautiful note was the inviting cake with happy annual day on. a free bottle of adnams gin and the wellness products where so nice to use. we had a wonderful view of the place with a window seat that was so beautiful to sit and watch the people. I booked a table in the quiet room and my quality, we were not disappointed, it was nicely presented staff, where very attentive and it dared fantastic. and another finishing touch was a teller with happy jubilee on it and a selection of mini cakes that was just so beautiful. we had an amazing night sleep, but to be fair, we have 2 year old twins and an 8 year old, so that always a full night sleep is always very welcome. breakfast was amazing with a selection of chalky juices even champagner, if u wanted a pick up from me from the night above all we had an amazing stay and sohope we can talk the big parents to have the kids again, so we can stay again. Many thanks that we had a nice time. the wilsons xxx"

"One of the best homemade meals in Suffolk can be found at this restaurant. Lia, Lisa, and Carla put in a lot of effort to serve delicious homemade dishes. I have been a regular customer for years and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful location in the old harbor, offering breathtaking views that have remained unchanged for decades. It is a hidden gem that is definitely worth seeking out."
