The Bell Motel in North Hertfordshire

We were going to a party nearby and opted to stay over at The Bull, for a Village Pub with rooms, it is very clean and comfortable with ample parking. The staff in the pub were warm and welcoming, the “on site chip shop” meant we could have a quick bite before heading to the party and they kindly ordered a cab and provided the number to contact for the cab back. Breakfast was very good and served with a smile. This is just what it says on the tin, with the addition of friendly staff.

La ubicación es muy buena para acceder a la zona, pero lamento decir que el alojamiento era un poco básico. De hecho me recuerda a algunos moteles menos deseables que he vivido en estados unidos, en la equidad en el pub/motel no decir que iban a través de un programa de reformas pero claramente no tenía llegar a mi habitación. El desayuno era excelente y el servicio es correcto para un pub del pueblo. Es un precio muy razonable para una estancia de una noche pero si vas asegúrate de conseguir una habitación reformada

No hay mucho ambiente en el restaurante y el servicio era muy lento para empezar, pero bien tarde menú es diferente que en su sitio web. Tempura langostinos frescos. Excelente Carne de pollo estaba bien pero en brocheta con parches negros en vez recargado y no cordero. Demasiado en ensalada.

Una estancia maravillosa en el corazón de Codicote. La comida era estupenda, un montón de bebidas del bar para elegir, personal amable, buena tv (cobertura brillante de deportes), la habitación también estaba bien presentado, con toallas limpias y té y café de cortesía. Recomiendo altamente alojarse aquí!!

Stayed at the bell motel as myself and my partner had got tickets to see Jim Davidson live at the arts theatre in Stevenage on the Sat night.so thought we would make a weekend of it.found the motel online it looked OK so we booked it to stay over on the Sat night after the show.it was a basic room but as it was October it was a bit chilly and the heating was just a wall heater which we had to switch on when we arrived.I would say the best bit of the stay was the breakfast on the Sunday morning.I thought the room was a bit overly priced.

Amazing food although a little pricey. Friendly staff but sometimes slow. Took one girl ten minutes to pour a glass of cola as is was 'really fizzy'. If you ask for a cola make sure you say from tap otherwise you get a can. Lovely garden/park round the back with slide and toys and a bouncy castle.

Stayed at this motel Friday 8th July 2016 after reading some 'horror Stories' regarding people's stay, to my surprise I found welcoming friendly staff. And the room was lovely and clean, fresh towels left out for us and tea coffee and biscuits :) lovely clean floors. Had a lovely sleep in the comfy bed and in the morning went into the restaurant which was nice for a full English breakfast. I will defiantly be returning there very soon. Well done staff at the bell motel keep up the good work. Mr and Mrs smith

I was surprised when i pulled up as i was expecting a pub B&B style room, i was was greeted by small little shally style attached mini bungalow's, the room i had was very clean and tidy i shall admit the whole place could do with a make over and referb as it's looking tied the staff where fantastic and friendly they seem to cater for family's too as the was a small play area for them with a bouncy castle during the day and the food food menu was good well worth a stay if your looking for a good place to stay and eat

If you need a basic place to stay which is clean and value for money then this should be on your list. A good, honest motel which I'd stay at again. Wifi needs improvement though!

We stayed at the bell as a party of 4 adults and one child. This motel offers great value for money,and is in a very peaceful location a great getaway. The rooms are clean and a good size even with a travel cot.. the staff went above and beyond to make our stay very enjoyable and they could not have done any more for US. The breakfast was very enjoyable and cooked to order. We ate meals in the pub over the course of the weekend from the bar snacks to a delicious meat and cheese sharing board that was enough to have fed 3 to 4 people. As our stay ended we had the carvery which was excellent food and fantastic value for money. The staff were very kind and pleasant and put up the bouncy castle for the little one to play one and the children's play area was large and contained. We will defiantly be returning to the bell for another relaxing get away. Thanks to all that made our weekend very enjoyable

See my review of the motel The menu is very 1970's the music matches and the food bland. The service was average with bar staff serving on. With no other customers other than our small party of 8 the dining room had no atmosphere

It is just hopeless, if you are looking for quality forget it.The pub was full of loud ignorant opiniopated unpleasant people.

went with friends, we sat outside, and the friends' granchildren enjoyed the bouncy castle. Only one beer available that night. Fish and chips was ok.

Close to our event so a short drive after open air theatre at Shaws Corner. Good, clean spacious room with everything we needed. Staff helpful and efficient. We will certainly come here again.

20 of us went to the Bell Motel for lunch after a 6 mile ramble in the surrounding countryside. Although the dining area doesn't look that special, our visit was a great success. We did order our food before we set off on the ramble but even with this warning experience has shown us that not all restaurants can produce well prepared meals served on time. The Bell did just that, all of our group were served promptly and all agreed that the meals were delicious.

I felt sad during my stay at The Bell Motel mainly because, to me, it had the feeling of a place that was struggling to make ends meet with owners who had lost heart. I may be wrong and it may just be that I...

Lunch here and chose ham,egg and chips which was going to be good as it was £11. Oh no! I was expecting really good quality ham, not the two slices from pre rolled and with very little taste. Ambiance nil staff friendly.

We chose to eat out because we were working late and needed a break from cooking. This pub is our nearest eatery, so I wish it was a more enjoyable experience. The pub always seems to feel cold and is not comfortable. The ambience could...

We needed a meal as our kitchen was out of action. The food is good, in fact the portions are almost too large, even when the one main was served without any potatoes and vegetables and we had to then ask for them. Later, I...

Great pub and hotel, very reasonable in price, breakfast excellent, Paul the manager was very welcoming and a credit to the Motel,

Ignore the desserts board on the wall, they don't do those on a Friday. Oh, and the kitchen had closed at 2:30 when I tried to order a dessert to follow our main courses. Why didn't anyone tell us the quirks of the place when...

Stayed recently as part of a visit to Sonisphere. We paid massively over the odds but I guess that is what happens when there is a big event locally and rooms are hard to come by. The bar was fine and the breakfast good. As...

It looks good on the internet but we found it shabby and dirty and smelly. the floor in our room had rotted away and was only held together by the sagging lino. Bathroom mouldy with a dodgy shower. We could not eat as planned at...

no frills restaurant, generous sized portions , good food , ambiance is more a pub than a restaurant. very good for the price .

The bathroom was not clean, there were soap dregs in the sink which had dried up from the previous occupants and the walls in the shower were not clean. The overall impression was dirty and the whole place was tired and worn. The food at...

We stayed at The Bell end of August.. I didnt like the first room but this was no problem we were given the keys to room 9, It is a great place to stay Paul and all staff are very helpful and friendly....We had to...

We went along to support our friends' band but would definitely go again based purely on the motel! Very friendly staff and owner, from the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and taken care of. Dinner was just what we needed; high quality, great prices...

Not the best pub in the village and the restaurant continues to dissapoint. A large building with little atmosphere but probably fine if you are on the road. The rooms are said to be good.

Stayed here for four nights on a business trip to nearby Stevenage. The food was fine and big portions, as were the breakfasts, but the rest was poor. The accommodation is very tired and needs freshening up, but that's ok, however neither of the built-in...

Having driven back from Faversham and finding every eating house packed we drove into The Bell. The car park was nearly empty and it was 1.45pm on a Sunday? Entering the bar there were half a dozen blokes watching football and a few obvious regulars...

On our way home from another shopping trip we called into The Bell Motel for a snack. We did see the large number of chalets to let at the rear which looked well maintained. The large bar with a mixture of leather furniture and wooden...
