Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Bell Inn, Stilton, Cambridgeshire - The Coaching Inn Group from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the well-decorated and comfortable rooms at The Bell Inn, many of which are garden rooms providing easy access to green spaces, ideal for guests with dogs, and some have noted that the rooms are dog-friendly but don't smell of pets, instead smelling like a spa. Breakfast is a highlight, often described as incredible and plentiful, sometimes offering a freshly cooked experience instead of a buffet. While some have mentioned experiencing minor issues such as items missing from their plate at breakfast, the hotel's proximity to the Nene Park nature reserve, combined with amenities like EV charging points and coffee machines in the rooms, makes it a convenient and enjoyable stay, easily accessible from the A1M.

Wonderful Historic Stay

convenient parkinghelpful staffdelicious dishespoor soundproofing
I appreciated the convenient car parking available behind the building. Front of house staff were helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Chefs made delicious dishes cooked to order, and table service was both timely and professional.
I noticed a lack of soundproofing between rooms. Noise from neighboring guests occasionally disturbed the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.

The building offers a good location near the A1. Finding the hotel was easy, and it has proximity to key routes. The grounds present a flat car park that is out of view from the main road.

attentive staffgreat servicenoisy courtyardfaulty shower
i found the staff in the bar quite attentive. the manager was also very helpful upon my arrival. she even found me a place to sit while checking if my room was ready. i thought this was a great service.
The room i stayed in overlooked the courtyard. I was often disturbed during the night. guests were sitting outside chatting loudly. it made it difficult to sleep well before a day of meetings. also, the shower sprayed water more from the back than the front, causing water to pool on the floor.

The breakfast was great. I especially liked that the brekkie was freshly cooked, not the usual buffet. I also appreciated the coffee bags in the room. I prefer a kettle and good quality coffee bag. The room and furnishings were excellent.
My awful night's sleep was not what I needed. The shower had more water coming out of the back than from the front. This made the floor very wet. It was difficult to get a consistent temperature of water in the shower. It was either too cold or too hot.

the staff at the bar were great. the manager on duty when i arrived on january 25, 2025, was helpful (found me a seat while my room was prepared). the room was large and warm, so i adjusted the radiator. i appreciated the heated bathroom floor and easy access to the dog-friendly garden rooms.
connecting to the wifi took some time. i think this was because of the distance from the router. i used the wifi to see family.
