Only open when there are sufficient staff on duty, it is a small cafe (which can get overcrowded) but there's plenty of seating outside with good views of Bodiam Castle. The staff are friendly and helpful and the coffee was up to the usual good National Trust standard.

Lovely cafe with lots of seating outside. However during lunchtime extremely overcrowded. The queue to the till was so long people had to wait outside. I can recommend trying carrot and orange soup. Very delicious!

Situated adjacent to "The Story of Bodiam" display and conservation suite (closed on the day we where there due to Covid restrictions), the Castle View Cafe is ideally situated for a drink or snack after you have walked up from the car park and before you go into the castle itself (or, after you have walked round the castle, before you go back to the car park). It's Covid safe. There's hand sanitiser available as you enter the building, the floor is marked for social distancing, there is a one way system in operation and masks must be worn. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the snacks, though limited in range, are adequate. It is dog friendly and, outside, there are socially distanced seats with lovely views of the castle.

To be honest I had no real idea of what The Bell would be like when I booked it. The location was convenient for a function we were attending elsewhere. What a revelation, this place is amazing. You have to consider that the "project " is ongoing, but this doesn't impact on anything. The standards are great. Service, welcome and the whole experience was amazing. While entering the bedroom, the standard of which it had been decorated and furnished to was just way above what you could have expected. Only down side was that we were only staying the one night.

Food lovely as always , service was slow and felt like the dining area was kind of left as they were running an event that night so they were super busy. would of been better if they had more staff on with one dedicated to the dining area . Staff lovely even though they were busy. Great live band playing outside .

Excellent food bit if a wait but was worth it. Only slight criticism the veg was slightly over cooked for me. But service excellent.

Just had the buffet and was so surprised that it was so good. Have been to nearly all in Hastings and Bexhill and this is the best. Well done to all od front of house staff and especially those in the kitchen 👏
