4-star historic coaching inn with Guinness World Record gin collection in Saddleworth village of Delph
Gin Emporium and Historic Setting
The Old Bell Inn holds a Guinness World Record for the largest number of gins commercially available, with over 1,500 varieties lining the bar walls. This 18th-century coaching inn in the Saddleworth village of Delph retains original features such as exposed beams and open fires in the restaurant. A lively bar offers fine wines and ales alongside the extensive gin selection, making it a destination for spirit enthusiasts.
Dining and Local Produce
The on-site restaurant serves a seasonal menu that changes regularly, using fresh locally sourced produce from the surrounding area. A cooked English breakfast is included in the stay, with options such as smoked salmon eggs benedict and a full English. The bar also provides a lighter dining menu, with outdoor seating available for relaxed meals in warmer weather.
Accommodations and Comfort
The 18 individually decorated rooms include some with original features like exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings, each equipped with a flat-screen TV and private modern bathroom with free toiletries. Bed sizes range from small doubles to superior doubles, and selected rooms offer views of the surrounding Saddleworth countryside. All rooms provide tea and coffee facilities, a comfortable bed, and underfloor heating in some bathrooms.
Location and Nearby Attractions
The hotel sits 3 miles from the Peak District National Park, giving guests direct access to walking trails at Dove Stone Reservoir and the wider park. Free on-site parking is available for all guests, and Manchester city centre is a 25-minute drive away. Nearby cultural sites include Clayton Hall Museum and the historic village of Uppermill is a short taxi or bus ride from Delph.
