Historic inn with on-site dining and themed dinner nights in Horndon-on-the-Hill
Dining
The Bell Inn houses two on-site restaurants: The Bell restaurant, which serves British cuisine with a diverse daily menu, and Ostlers, which offers a continental and cooked breakfast menu along with freshly brewed coffees and teas. The hotel hosts themed dinner nights that provide a unique dining experience separate from standard pub meals. Bar snacks such as sausage rolls, scotch eggs, and honey and mustard sausages are available at the two on-site lounges.
Rooms
Guest rooms are located either in the historic 16th-century coaching inn itself or in the modernised Georgian/Victorian building known as High House. Room names include the Anne Boleyn suite, the Lady Hamilton suite, and the Comfy Plus Superior Double Room, each featuring a private bathroom with quality toiletries. All rooms are accessible via stairs only, as the historic buildings do not have lifts.
