The Bell - Forest Heath

I stayed here for one night and was pleasantly surprised. I'm glad I didn't rely on the reviews because I found it to be great value for the money. The breakfast was delicious and I would definitely come back.

My husband and I stopped here for a drink. The minute we walked in, I felt uncomfortable. It was like walking into a snug bar. It was small, old fashioned and everyone knew each other, so when we walked in, two strangers, everyone looked round at us. Consequently we sat right near the door, away from the bar. Whilst we were sitting there, one of the regulars made a comment towards us, which made me even more uncomfortable, so we finished our drinks and left, never to return. If you're not a local, don't bother.

Once again, a great Sunday Roast was enjoyed, this time being a generous portion of my choice of roast beef (husband had beef pork) with an enormous, mountainous Yorkshire Pudding, roast potatoes and a large help yourself dish of perfectly cooked fresh vegetables left at the table, along with coupes of apple sauce and the most amazing zingy horseradish cream ever! The service is friendly and accommodating and very prompt and the cafetiere of good coffee and china pot of tea are both enjoyable and sensibly priced. There is always an extensive choice on the dessert menu, (each dish priced at £3.45, I believe), making the whole meal very affordable and a regular option for us. Our two roast dinners, a big jug of iced water with lemon slices the coffee cost £16.10. We 've enjoyed it before and will certainly be back again soon.

I recently enjoyed a pleasant overnight stay at this restaurant. The room was clean and comfortable with new owners. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and I found them to be very helpful. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

The room was disgusting and filthy, with a shocking bathroom. The floor tiles were cracked and fixed with duct tape, the toilet seat was broken, and all windows were screwed or painted shut. Overall, it was a horrible experience.
