The staff very helpful, the rooms very oldi worldie very spacious and comfortable, and clean, breakfast was very good and well worth the money, The lady's running the spa, where extremely helpful , the treatments where very enjoyable and a very reasonable price, would highly recommend . Thanks from Lynn & Carl

What is this place ? Adams family ?? Gave me the creeps, smelly, no one serving, looked like a derelict place. The song hotel California sprang to mind so we left immediately. Surprised it is not closed down.

Visited here with a family of 6 for a Saturday lunch. The staff were all very polite and professional. Good selection of drinks, served in clean glasses. Food was delicious and perfect for a light lunch. I had the soup and a sandwich option and the rest of the family went for the sandwich, chips and salad garnish option. All lovely. You could tell the meats were freshly carved, and that the coleslaw was homemade, as were the chunky chips! A really nice lunch trip, in a beautiful setting; just what we were looking for. Thank you to the staff of the pub and the kitchen.

We popped in as we saw the advert for tea and cake very reasonably priced .We used to go years ago the Sunday lunches were amazing

This place is disgusting, we’d give it ZERO if possible. Dirty rooms that haven’t been cleaned properly in forever. The room was full of dust & smelled musty. To top it off the window wouldn’t shut & we were freezing. We were so cold that we had to ask a member of staff to put the heating on for us but he didn’t know how to do it. Apparently none of the staff there did: we spend the remainder of the night shivering in bed trying to get warm. We complained to the Manager the next day & said we were not staying the second night we had booked. We were given our money back for that but no compensation for the first night which is disgusting, considering we didn’t get a wink of sleep as we were absolutely frozen. Why would you put guests in a room that’s dirty & the window doesn’t close fully? Absolutely shocking. We will be contacting Best Western as we're not happy about being charged for a room where we couldn’t even sleep in because it was so cold.

We decided to go here for afternoon tea after having a spa day in the connected spa - should have got lunch in there like most people do! The place was run down and a bit dirty, and our food had obviously been prepared much earlier and put in the fridge until we arrived from the staleness of the bread on the tops of the sandwiches. Noticed a large mould spot on one of the macaroons, which was also on another of them, and there were a few stray hairs/fluff on food too. Food was absolutely NOT worth all that, so definitely wouldn’t recommend!! Steer clear haha, hopefully they get the place sorted

Me & my partner arrived for Sunday lunch, being aware of this hotel's prior good reputation. At £11.00 for a regular carvery, we felt the quality did not match the pleasant surroundings & that an average pub lunch would represent better value. The range of vegetables was good & they were well cooked, but the stuffing was hard & dry. The roast pork was too thickly carved & tough. The Yorkshire pudding however, was cooked just right & appeared to have been freshly prepared. We were also surprised that the only choice was the carvery. Don't bother going here, it doesn't live up to its image & prior reputation, just find an average pub that does serves food!

Who runs this place ? The Adamms family. OK, they are nice, but the old guy sat with his paper is just so Lurch.....nice though. It's like going back 100 years, and quite fusty. Food was OK and the barmaid was rather cute.

We had an excellent post Christmas family meal. Friendly and helpful staff and “home cooked “ meal. We have been here many times and have never been disappointed.

Xmas menu. Not freshly or properly cooked. Couldn’t eat most of it Untrained staff. Surly attitude..

We found this hotel to be beautiful. It had lots of wonderful pieces of furniture etc which were interesting and traditional. The hotel has an old world relaxing atmosphere, not be be confused with dated or old fashioned! Very quirky and staff were extremely friendly and polite. The breakfast array was lovely and good quality. Our room was large and clean and we have already booked to go again!

Lovely Sunday Lunch today at the Bell Hotel, everything tasty and freshly cooked. Lovely to see so many eating in the restaurant. Friendly and efficient staff not forgetting the welcome you receive from Rita and George.

having witnessed a very public verbal attack on a very elderly gentleman (some weeks back) by the owner in full view of the bar area this was the last straw for us as customers. Won"t be giving this place any more visits.

dont go any where near if you want a drink management not interested in local patrons as they are completely uninterested in supporting the bar area

Came here for lunch as part of a group. Staff were very attentive, but not overly. Food was wonderful. The venue had a certain old world charm and the Christmas settings of the table were a very pleasant surprise

My friend and I visited the Bell Hotel in Driffield today (10th November) for Sunday lunch. We love this place, especially around Christmas time as it is quirky and old fashioned in the best possible way. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive as I read a few negative comments for the carvery on this site, but as we’ve visited several times over the years and always enjoyed lovely food we went anyway. I needn’t have worried. The food was excellent as always. Beautiful meats with a huge selection of fresh vegetables and friendly efficient service. BTW, the pigs in blankets here are gorgeous! Roast potatoes are to die for. With 3 sizes of carvery to choose from, what more could you ask for? I wholeheartedly recommend the Bell Hotel food, and we’ll be back again soon!

Sorry to say went to the Bell hotel yesterday for sunday lunch it was not very nice at all. hoping its a one off, but there was beef, pork, turkey and lamb on offer. i had pork & lamb and my hubby had beef and turkey and all four were tough as old boots. wether it was a different chef i dont know but we were very disappointed.

We were visiting Driffield for a family wedding. Came across this lovely pub and spent quite a bit of time here. Drinks are so cheap. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Will be coming back soon

Visited to take advantage of the steam engine special on Saturday 2 for £15 . great value and good quality .Perhaps the bar could do with some improvements to its air conditioning /cooling on a hot humid evening .

I cant comment on the hotel only the restaurant the carvery is to be avoided we were a party of four and we all left most of the meal. They do have menu with other food and a large variety that may be very nice.

I brought my husband here as he is always keen to have a drinks break when out and about. Just in time for the coffee and scone offer, we relaxed in the seating near the bar. Good coffee, freshly made, with a scone to accompany it. Worth a visit to enjoy the atmosphere and catch up.

I stayed here for two nights to attended a friends wedding nearby. Booking a Best Western you’d expect it to at least resemble a large chain hotel. The hotel is very Victorian, on first glance this is quite charming but when you actually take a second look, the hotel is rickety, dated and not very clean. Upon arrival there was no one manning the reception, we waited a few minutes and then rang the bell for assistance. An employee who was working the bar came to assist us and told us he was the only one working. He checked us in no problems and showed us up to our room. The room was large, it even had another room attached to it that serves as a living room. The whole room had an usual smell about it, it was clean smell, but very strong. The room is well equipped with hair dryer, iron and a kettle. The bedding had some stains on the pillows. The windows have an aftermarket double glazing panel on them meaning it’s pretty difficult to open the window, which you would need to do because the rooms are very warm even when the heating turns off. The dressing gowns provided clearly used to be white and now were a yellowish colour. The bathroom is very dated like the rest of the room, but it does the job. In general the entire place could be cleaner. Breakfast wasn’t included in our room but for £10 each we could have had a buffet or a cooked to order breakfast. Neither of which looked appetising and the atmosphere in the dingy room where breakfast is served is worse than that of a wake. The staff in general were all friendly and helpful. Overall, I wouldn’t pay to stay again but it did the job of a place to sleep adequately.

Racket stopped at 21.07 but started again at 21.35 this time even louder and accompanied by a droning voice going on until 22.05. Unbelievable! Thinks it's over. So much for some time to relax and an early night in bed before an early start in the morning. Who on earth decides to organise something like this during the week and don't they realise a booming bass trumpet isn't to everyone's liking?Just to give an idea of the time period you'll be stepping back into I've included a photo of the bathroom complete with bath taps that don't work. Prepare for extra squeaky floorboards throughout as well.

Visited with husband & daughter for lunch. The staff were polite the atmosphere was good & the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend.a lovely coaching inn.

The hotel itself is a lovely old hotel with loads of original features. We ended up

Thank you for a fab baby shower In the spa . A lovely lady looked after us , she got all our drinks for us . The service was fantastic. And the afternoon tea was such good value for money . wow you must try it .

Visitamos a media mañana para tomar café y bollos. Un café excelente, el personal es encantador, scones super no gran cosas que arruinar su almuerzo. Muy sabroso y con mantequilla, nata y mermelada, como debería ser. Un entorno muy agradable. Todo es como debe ser para un descanso relajante.

I've been going here for twenty years and, even though it is now owned by a multi-national rather than a local man, I still think its one of the best pubs in Driffield.

Popped into the bell and had Yorkshire puddings and onion gravy. Very nice and tasty. Staff very pleasant and helpful too.

No un menú enorme, pero la comida era deliciosa. Tuve un arranque tontos de gambas, que habría sido suficiente para mí. Esto fue seguido por su famoso pastel de carne con cerveza. No me sorprende que es una especialidad de la casa, estaba delicioso. Tenemos ganas de comer aquí regularmente cuando pasemos al norte.

Un cliente me había reservado el Best Western Bell Hotel en Driffield mientras trabajan localmente. No es un lugar en el que me he reservado de las fotos para ser justos. Las habitaciones y las zonas comunes estaban muy de moda (y no me refiero...

La campana se está convirtiendo rápidamente en el lugar para una cena elegante en Driffield, como hotel best western hay un spa y también de habitaciones suite de funciones. que siempre está lleno. El restaurante es muy agradable y la comida es buena, el té...

cena de cumpleaños de amigos así que probamos el restaurante esta vez. Mismo menú que las comidas de bar. El personal es un poco caótico, ya que parecen haber tenido un día ajetreado. La comida no está mal pero tampoco es una maravilla. La mesa...

In Driffield today and hungry - The Bell on the main street looked inviting and the lunches seemed good value so we went in - and received a friendly welcome as we ordered a glass of rioja and half a lager - It is well worth a look around before you find a table - a well stocked bar and some old and some very quirky photos on the walls - we went to order two duck legs in sauce for about £14 only to be told no duck legs would duck breasts be okay- bonus 1 - 2 full duck breasts arrived with a further bonusroast and new potatoes, broccoli , peppers , carrots and swede and no frozen peas.The total bill with drinks less than £20-00.All the staff were very helpful - we shall certainly return

Myself and sister stayed over on one of the nights they had a music event on. We had full access to the spa (wet side) which was great. The staff went over and beyond to cater to our needs. Could not fault the bell. The breakfast in the morning was really good and they had a lovely choice of food on offer. Our room catered for all our needs. Could not find fault with anything. Well done!

Spotted this bargain for morning coffee, and was not disappointed. The scones were perfect and very fresh. There is a very warm and cosy atmosphere in the bar area. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. When back in Driffield will be back to try out the msin meals.

A group of 4 friends visited for afternoon tea and the spa for a birthday treat. Firstly the staff room about 10 minutes to acknowledge us. Then "had to" bring the tea out even though we were still waiting for one person to arrive. When we asked for more milk took 15 minutes. Upon entering the spa we were told there were no treatment slots available (even though we were the only ones in the spa!) staff took us to changing rooms and returned 5 minutes later, tutting when we weren't ready! The pool was good as was the steam room but sauna was too dry and no water bucket available like you would normally have. All in all staff let the place down due to laziness and being unprofessional. Wouldn't return.

We visited here for my mums birthday. we had a groupon for 4 of us to use all of the facilities and have the afternoon tea. the facilities and staff were amazing, but the afternoon tea was a bit of a let down. i had rang to organise a bottle of champagne to be served with the tea, but it wasnt ready and the staff didnt know about it which ment we got the wrong one. also the cream was not fresh whipped which would have made it that bit better. over all it was a good day and good value for money, but i wouldnt pay full price for it.

£100/night for a double room when a twin was booked. Creaky old bed, too was boiling even with the windows open.Very dated
