It was a wonderful stay at the Bell Hotel. It was our first time at this hotel and we wanted to explore the coastal towns of Suffolk, the location was perfect. The room was excellent, very well decorated and furnished, the bed was very comfortable and the shower room was large and clean. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. We were able to chill out in the bar and enjoy an afternoon tea and read, there is also another lounge area in the next room. The food was excellent, we had wonderfully cooked breakfasts and evening meal, the Chef produces excellent creative food. We will be going back for another stay.

Superb dinner at the Bell for my Dad's birthday. The best gnocchi I have ever had, absolutely delicious flavours. Generous sized fish and chips for Dad. The food here is amazing! Such warm and welcoming staff, who went above and beyond to help my Dad feel special on his birthday. A really lovely place to come to. Thank you so much to all of the team - I can't emphasise enough how great the service was here - lovely lovely people.

My wife & I stayed for 1 night at The Bell on 6th November. This is a traditional Coaching Inn in the heart of Saxmundham which has been upgraded to very high standards whilst maintaining is original historic character & clientele. It was good to speak to the friendly local regulars in the cosy bar. Dinner was excellent & the staff helpful & attentive. Very comfortable room with great bed A first class breakfast on Thursday morning concluded an altogether very pleasant visit. We shall return!

My college and i dropped into The Bell Hotel for an early morning coffee at just after 07.00. Staff were happy to serve us with a nice cup of coffee and a biscuit on the side. We made ourselves comfy in the front lounge bar which was nicely laid out. A very nice experience.

The hotel is beautifully decorated throughout. The rooms are very comfortable but it’s the staff that make it. Every member of staff, especially the manager Callum, couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. The restaurant was really pretty and the food was delicious. We booked a spacious room which was the dog friendly room and there was a bowl and bed for him in the room. They also provided a camp bed for our teenage daughter which she said was very comfortable. There is a free car park just to the side of the hotel which is very convenient. No payment required. Saxmunden is well positioned to explore both the Suffolk coast and countryside. We will definitely come back and would recommend. If I had one minor criticism, it would be that our room was directly over the courtyard garden. Noise was not a problem for us because we visited in October and had the window to the room shut so the noise from guests wasn’t bad . Plus the hotel closes at 11pm so there was no noise after that. If you were staying in the summer months and like to go to sleep before 11pm I would suggest asking for a room at the front of the hotel instead.
