It's 45 miles from home but well worth the visit. Superb dining room with opening doors for a breath of Air on a hot day. A small but adequate menu. The food was good quality and the service excellent As it's a few days back and we've been celebrating my wife's birthday I've eaten lots of meals since then and my old memory cannot pin down what I ate. Suffice it to say that my bad memory must not detract from the quality of the food. My tip reflected that. So eat there with confidence. You won't regret it. Our 4th visit. If I ever get a bad meal I don't return. I will be returning here no doubt. **Review: Spa at Ye Olde Bell Hotel** Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Spa at Ye Olde Bell is an exceptional retreat that offers a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation. My there was nothing short of spectacular, meriting a well-deserved five-star rating. One of the spa's standout features is its diverse range of sauna rooms, including a salt room and a steam room. Each room offers a unique experience, allowing for a comprehensive spa journey. The shower and the particularly intriguing ice shower, simulating a storm with falling ice, provide an exhilarating contrast to the warmth of the saunas. The pool area, complete with various water jets, is perfect for a soothing soak. It's designed not just for relaxation but also for therapeutic benefits, with the jets targeting different muscle groups. The thoughtful inclusion of a seating area next to a flame, complete with blankets, ensures comfort and warmth in between treatments. The food at the spa was impressive. Although they served a peculiar single piece of apple as a snack, it turned out to be a delightful little treat. The lunch, while small in portion, was delicious and satisfying, perfectly complementing the day's serene theme. The provision of free water and tea, with unlimited refills, is a commendable touch. It shows the spa's commitment to ensuring guests stay hydrated and comfortable throughout their visit. I spent an entire day at the spa, indulging in the various rooms and alternating between hot and cold experiences. This rhythm not only enhanced the relaxation but also left me feeling thoroughly refreshed. In summary, the Spa at Ye Olde Bell is a haven for those seeking a day of indulgence and relaxation. The variety of facilities, coupled with excellent food and thoughtful touches, make for an unforgettable spa experience. Whether you're looking to unwind for a few hours or spend an entire day being pampered, this spa is the perfect destination. Absolute gem of a hotel/Spa. Highly recommend staying in the lodge (there are 2 I think). We had a full day spa (which included lunch), an overnight stay in the lodge and breakfast included for a very reasonable price! The spa is perfect. Well kept, with friendly and helpful staff. There are drinks available or you can get alcohol etc brought to you. Loads of space in the spa and a great selection of saunas/steam rooms etc. We didn't have any treatments but they are available. Lunch was superb. Absolutely fantastic. The lodge was stunning. Very well presented and feels very special. There is a basic kitchen area so you could prepare things like baby bottles and a snack etc. The evening meal is the only aspect that we had any issue with, but this was minor and quickly addressed (to our satisfaction) by a very polite and apologetic person. The food was lovely though and again, reasonably priced! All in all, a place well worth a visit for that special occasion! I had an exceptional here. Did the split spa stay with my partner for my birthday and had the best time! The treatments are amazing, and the are second to none! The were so helpful and kind! To top it off, the food and drinks were also top-notch! I would highly recommend it! Me, mum and sister booked a mini me 5hr spa day and had the best time ever. Spotlessly kept with Devine 3 course lunch. We were so impressed from start to finish and the and spa butlers were amazing and very attentive / can’t wait to book again Very clean facilities, are friendly and always ready to help, heated pool. Fully equipped spa and food was amazing. Loved the massage My husband & I have just returned from a fabulous spa day at Ye Olde Bell. Everything from the food to the service, from the spa and treatments, were really very good. We live locally & this is our first time to the spa but we will definitely be returning. We liked the smaller spa environment & that it isn't overbooked as some larger spas can be, which can ruin the ambiance. Reception made it really easy to book over the phone too & were very welcoming & informative providing us with all the information we needed both before, on the morning & as we checked out. I have noticed some negative reviews about responding to larger groups & noise as I go to post this. It's a spa & should be a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere. I was very happy that this is upheld by members. Some specific notes - The 2 course lunch was absolutely delicious as were the cocktails we had. I personally had a Winter Warmer treatment & was really impressed with the therapist & the treatment I received. Everything is very clean, new & tidy & are on hand at all times to keep it that way. TY for a lovely day - See you soon! :) Absolutely stunning spa! Delicious food, relaxing massage, lovely saunas, and a beautifully decorated outdoor area. Everything was perfect from start to finish. This spa was great, the vibe was perfect for what we wanted. Neil went above and beyond to make sure we had every thing we needed and was friendly, funny and very approachable. I would recommend this to others and Neil is a real credit to your team! An exceptional escape into luxury. The are flawless—elegant, serene, and impeccably maintained. However, it’s the who elevate the to something truly special. Their attentiveness and dedication to detail are unparalleled. A heartfelt thank you to Kylie, whose warmth and professionalism made the unforgettable. A sanctuary of pure indulgence—highly recommended. Loved it, wonderful staff, lovely treatments and beautiful surroundings! Not too busy, was a few hours of bliss after an event the night before at the hotel (also brilliant!) ...I am looking forward to my next visit already! Thanks all x The spa day that I recently had at Ye Olde Bell was to celebrate my mums 70th birthday. It really was a wonderful experience. The were wonderful, friendly and couldn't help us enough. From the around the pool, bar staff, waiting and reception, just a fabulous experience. The food was just beautiful too, aswell as all the facilities. It really was a lovely relaxing day, and one to remember. I would definitely recommend Ye Olde Bell spa and will be visiting again soon hopefully. Absolutely fantastic experience! Me and a friend went for an afternoon to celebrate her turning 40! The spa was beautiful , plenty to do and it was clean , tidy and the butler service was great ! Defo booking another trip ! I’ve been to Ye Olde Bell Spa and absolutely loved it! The were amazing – so friendly and attentive – and the spa itself is gorgeous. I really like the idea of the split spa, where you have an afternoon stay over and then the morning to relax, it made the whole feel even more enjoyable and unhurried. The only small downside is that they don’t currently offer smoothies, which I think would be a great addition to the menu, but hopefully that’s something they’ll introduce in the future. Overall, a wonderful and I’d definitely recommend!
