Six Bells Inn

We visited the pub due to the Dads Army connection in the hope that there would be some sort of memorabilia but not a thing! If I owned the place I would be jumping on the band wagon of it being used as a filming location for such a famous sitcom! Very disappointed really as such a fan of the show. That being said we only had a quick drink, the garden was beautiful, flower beds full of colour. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The letdown is definitely the interior, it definitely needs refreshing! Toilets were clean but also very tired. The food being handed to other customers smelled amazing! So I think we would return to try it.

We arrived not really sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised - the room was comfortable and clean - the bathroom was a little tired but adequate. The village is very pretty with an old mill and duck pond - enjoyed our walk. We ventured into the pub for a drink and then ordered our meal - the food was very good - I had whitebait followed by the prawn Thai curry and then a lovely lemon sundae with meringue and ice cream - We had a peaceful nights sleep. The breakfast was served by a lovely Thai lady called Rung - she was amazing and was also working the night before - we believe the Chef was the Landlord but this lady was definitely running the place ! We would happily stay again

I'm reviewing this on behalf of my father and his wife who had the misfortune of booking the six bells inn Bardwell for a stay. I am shocked and appalled at the experience they had at the hands of the proprietor of this establishment. They had an issue with the heating in their room, which if you look back at any of the negative reviews of this place it is still a recurrent issue. My dad's wife reported the heating issue to a woman who worked there. The woman reportedly tried to help resolve the situation. Instead of resolving the situation, the proprietor took it into his own hands to go up to the room and became verbally aggressive, swearing at my father and his wife. This disgrace of a man then proceeded to chuck my father and his wife out. This was at midnight!! Bearing in mind my father is in his 70s and had to drive back home, over 1.5 hours away. I cannot explain how disgusted I am in this so called proprietor of this kip of a place. He had no thought or care for the wellbeing of my father or his wife, kicking them out in the middle of the night. He is very lucky it wasn't me that he decided to get aggressive with as I would have had no hesitation in calling the police. Shameful behaviour from this man. I can only assume the proprietor was either drunk or mentally unstable to become aggressive with a couple in their 70s who only asked if the room could be made warmer! I would avoid this place and I would never let anyone I know book a stay here for fear that they would be left in a vulnerable situation, like my father was.

There were four couples and a single traveller from the wedding booked in from 1 night to 3 nights. Breakfast was lovely and staff very helpful. All rooms were in the converted stables. Speaking or is we were In the four poster room which was lovely - yes there were some Cobwebs but it’s a stable. Overall we had a very pleasant stay as did the other guests with us

We came here for a large family dinner (25 covers) and enjoyed good food and drinks. We were seated over 3 large tables (unable to sit in conservatory as too hot), but this didn't stop us have fun. I enjoyed the baked brie, beef casserole with mash and veg and followed this with a lemon meringue 'eton mess' style dessert. Husband enjoyed prawn cocktail, beef pie chips and veg and banoffee pie to finish. Great food and reasonably priced. Friendly staff who were happy to help!

Wonderful stay at this pretty little pub with delicious food and friendly staff. Lovely scenery and a short stroll to a local artisan bakery.
