The Blue Bell Inn in Ryedale

Breakfast, Outstanding, Perfectly cooked to our requirements 5stars

The place was great. The standard of food and service was amazing. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Absolutely fantastic food and service

Just home from yet another visit to the Blue Bell and we were not disappointed. During this stay our dog was unwell and they couldn't have been more helpful, even offering to cook her chicken and rice which was really appreciated. It is the little touches that matter. The food was excellent as usual. We love the Blue Bell as we relax within minutes of arriving hence we return again and again. The hot tub and the log burner with the piece and quiet topped with the dog friendly pub and excellent food is a no brainer. We will be back.....again x

We stopped and had a lunch here it was fabulous and the lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and great service.

Lovely lunch. Made us feel very welcome. Fire lit so very warm and cosy. Food and service excellent - thank you

Absolutely brilliant Sunday lunch in a great setting with a wonderful atmosphere. The food was delicious beautifully cooked and incredible presentation. Nothing was too much trouble and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. Hosts Julia and Karl are just amazing 👏 Special thanks to Joe who went out of his way to make it special for us all.

Stayed overnight when visiting family. Lovely. Warm, friendly and good food. The bed was comfortable, and the room well decorated.

Overnight stay in one of the two junior champagne suites - the other (the room we got same time the previous year) has a large parasol/umbrella for use with the hot tub, ours did not... both rooms cost the same. Enquired about this and was informed that it had been broken by a previous guest and never replaced or repaired. So no privacy from the other apartments overlooking the hot tub or other guests using the adjacent access alleyway, and no way to keep the rain off. On previous stay the year before, disposable flip-flops were provided for getting to and from the hot tub, which is surrounded by loose stones; however these are no longer provided. Instead, square black plastic stepping stone tiles are left next to the hot tub - but no external lighting is present, so it's difficult to see where you're stepping and quite hazardous. Loose flagstone on step down to hot tub, with a traffic cone plonked on top of it. Loose screws on interior door handle on the access door from the room to the courtyard containing the hot tub, meaning it comes away from the door no matter how carefully/gently you pull it. The bed, wood-burning stove, and bathroom were all lovely, and the contact we had with the staff was fine in terms of customer service. However, the lack of upkeep and maintenance was disappointing considering the price of the room.

Only called on for a pint, nice beer, very welcoming.

Stayed here on NYE with hubby and our pooch. What an absolute gem of a place. Proper country pub. Charming, cosy and beautifully decorated for Christmas. We received the warmest welcome from the super friendly staff and were made to feel completely at home. Our double room was perfect and dinner and breakfast were delicious. Attention to detail was second to none and the complimentary glass of champagne to ring in the New Year was a lovely touch. Our stay was perfect and we loved how dog friendly everyone was. Thank you for having us. We will be back x

I'd just like to thank Karl, Julia and all of the staff for a great stay on New Year's Eve. The hospitality shown to us was wonderful. Our room was warm,cozy and comfortable. Our evening meals were delicious. We'll be back XX

Karl and Julia Norton run a very relaxed and homely Inn. The food is very well presented and delicious. A group of us stayed for a couple of nights and couldn't fault any part of our stay

What a meal! Food was great, coupled with friendly service! We tried a variety of dishes and returned the plates clean! Highly recommend this place! Thank you!

Excellent nights stay in comfortable and quiet rooms whilst in the area visiting family. Only used the restaurant for breakfast but this was excellent. Main reason for choosing The Blue Bell was because they allow dogs to stay. We were made very welcome when we had ours with us in the bar in the evening. Will definitely consider staying again in the future.

A ladies Christmas evening, what can I say… the place looks absolutely amazing so Christmassy! Lights, real tree and roaring fire! A very very good festive feel to it. The food was absolutely fantastic not only did it look stunning it tasted divine! Best turkey I’ve ever tasted so so juicy and cooked to absolute perfection!

Very cosy and friendly ,good food,very convenient for ganton golf club and the beautiful countryside.

Fantastic, efficient, understanding service. Unusually for a review, I’ve not actually stayed at or visited the hotel but, after our vehicle struggled in the snow, we called Julia and her team to beg for a room for the night, and they very kindly began to ready one at ten to midnight. We couldn’t turn down the road to the hotel because it was blocked and, by the time we navigated through the snow, reached main roads. I called Julia to let her know and she couldn’t have been more understanding or kind. I will make a point of visiting for a drink or a meal at some stage! Thank you!!!!

I picked out this pub as convenient for Castle Howard and Bridlington, our two destinations. We were staying overnight and were in the Laurent Perrier room, which is across the car park in a separate building. A very comfortable and large room. The facilities were good and the bed comfortable. Large car park and extra outside the cottages where we stayed, plus more outside the pub. We'd booked for evening meal which was in the bar, and conveniently situated near an open fire as it was a cold night. A range of food options. The food was good. Slightly more expensive than an average pub. Breakfast next day was in the restaurant. Help yourself cereals and a cooked breakfast with toast. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. It has a nice atmosphere and character. Will definitely stay again if in the area.

Excellent breakfast, very warm and welcoming hosts due to flexibility on time to accommodate our needs.

Well where do I even begin to start me and my husband stayed over night in one of the blue bells luxurious suits and all I can say is you will not be disappointed. From the moment we walked in the bar we where made to feel so welcome paula who greeted us gave us the best welcome ever she was very attentive and nothing was to much trouble there was a beautiful open fire burning which was so cosy, and as for the three course meal well that was just superb and so was breakfast the next day, I've not stopped raving about this fabulous place we will be back thank you paula and the owners for making our stay truly wonderful.

From the moment we walked through inn door everything has been 5 star the service provided by the staff our champagne room was excellent and the food first class all in all felt very homely thank you for a wonderful couple of days

On Saturday 11th November we had the pleasure of visiting the Blue Bell Inn at Weaverthorpe for lunch. At the time of booking we advised the very helpful and courteous Manager who gave her name as Paula that my wife is a wheelchair user and would be better seated nearer to the door for ease of access, I was assured this wasn’t a problem. On arrival we were greeted and taken to our table which was set out beautifully as requested. Once settled we were offered drinks and my wife Helen was guided expertly through the huge selection of Gins. We had studied the menu online and was advised on the day of the specials available and was asked if any of us had any allergies. The food was outstanding and for the record I had scallops to start followed by halibut and Helen had cream of mushrooms and fillet steak. Helen has MS and struggles to cut her food which I do for her, and when Paula came to see if everything was ok she had realised that Helen takes a while to eat. We were then asked if we would like a little longer between courses and would Helen like her steak cutting up in the kitchen so we could both eat our meals together whilst still hot, how lovely? So there we were beautiful food, roaring fire and excellent attentive service, what more could one ask for? Days like these for many of us have become even more of a treat with spiralling costs on almost everything and as it stands I couldn’t find a better place to invest your money. Everything was seamless between the kitchen and front of house and what I fail to understand is why so many eateries struggle with the basics of providing good produce and customer service. Not here though! We would highly recommend the Blue Bell Inn to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life and is actually delivering on it. Just before leaving the owner Karl introduced himself to us and I advised him my only problem is you have Yorkshire Blonde on draft and I have to Drive!! Keep up the great work guys and we will be back Steve and Helen Rowbottom

We stayed for my husbands birthday. Sunday lunch was delicious as always. Staff are friendly but also very professional. Busy restaurant with a great atmosphere and a lovely fire !! We stayed in the champagne suite which was beautifully decorated and everything we could have needed was there. Log burner already to light, hot tub, great tea and coffee facilities, bathrobes, comfortable bed. Breakfast excellent too. We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!! Can’t wait to return. Many thanks

Nice pub, good atmosphere & Sunday lunch was very nice. Would recommend.

We came across this little gem whilst looking for somewhere to stay as we had an early funeral the next morning and it was close by. The rooms were extremely comfortable with all facilities, a very cosy dining area with open fire, friendly banter and an excellent meal with extremely moreish Pinot Blush. Its just a shame we were there for a funeral.. Will definitely be back under more pleasurable circumstances. I can definitely recommend the Fillet, compliments to the Chef.

Comfortable stay in a small double and twin room for one night. Clean rooms and en suites, tasty breakfast and attentive restaurant staff. The Inn is presented more as a restaurant with rooms, rather than having a pub area for general drinking. We were fed by family on the evening we were in Weaverthorpe so unable to comment on the dinner menu but the photos available looked amazing. We would book to stay again.

Just returned from a nights stay at this little gem. We booked the Champagne Junior Suite which came complete with hot tub and log burning fire. We knew we’d booked a winner from the moment we arrived and was greeted like old friends. The staff here are an absolute credit. Warm and welcoming and always on hand to help. Our room was clean, warm and cosy. The high beamed ceilings made it very spacious and the furnishings complemented it further. We had our evening meal at the Inn and… just wow ! Tempura prawn starters were to die for, a lovely touch of a palate cleansing lemon sorbet and then the main. We both chose steak and they just melted in the mouth. The JD sauce was worth the visit alone. The hot tub was everything you’d imagine and very roomy. We ended our night in the comfortable bed with the roaring log fire. Next morning, the included breakfast was just as delicious with juice, cereal and toast all available to help yourself before a cooked breakfast. To end a long winded review, we absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back.

The Blue Bell at Weaverfhorpe is a superb country retreat away from the hustle and bustle! You are welcomed by Karl and Julia and their pooches Maggie and Max! We stayed in the cosy champagne suite with a roaring log burner and hot tub which is a real treat! The Blue Bell restaurant offers a superb menu and the food is always amazing! We woud highly recommend to anyone and look fwd to our next stay next month!

The Inn is tired not very attractive we had booked in for 3 nights but left the same day bed was damp attitude of hosts appalling Bar area and restaurant not very appealing and surrounding area looks very run down

This was second visit to this pub/restaurant and it did not disappoint. You can always guarantee three things in this fine establishment; the service, the food and wine. What more could you ask for? The staff are absolutely incredible and there is nothing that they will not try to do to make your experience even more incredible. The food is phenomenal and I can promise you will not be disappointed! If you are reading this, do not hesitate to book in here. We had Belly pork and Duck…. X

This was a birthday weekend for my wife. Lovely relaxing environment, wonderful attentive staff. Food was excellent and freshly cooked. Fantastic place to visit or stay. Rob Wakefield

Long weekend away as a family of three. The room was clean, very well equipped and spacious enough for the extra bed. Breakfast options were plentiful and always freshly cooked. Had dinner the first night, which was absolutely gorgeous and my partner was very much taken by the superb wine menu. Well worth a visit.

Nice cosy rooms excellent food and service especially gluten free not much around but worth a trip for the food alone only critism hotel could do with updating 😀

Yet again another great experience of the Blue Bell. Fantastic food (would recommend the belly pork). The champagne themed rooms certainly add to the experience. If you haven't tried the Blue Bell yet I would thoroughly recommend it for food and accommodation. Thank you Karl...

Stayed in one of the stunning suites, after relaxing in the hot tub ( hot tub a nice touch), enjoyed another fabulous meal, karl and the rest of the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Lovely cozy (and most importantly warm) place to stay. The breakfast porridge was delicious with a surprising but very nice wild berry coulis and the evening meal was also fantastically cooked and presented. Smart TV in the room was also a nice touch.

We were recommended the Blue Bell last year by a good friend, so thought we would book the nearest Saturday to Valentines day. We are not the sort of people who watch the countless cooking programmes on TV and believe we are expert critiques or...
