So-so
Room was standard but walls are thin. Could hear snoring from next door and people talking/walking in the corridor. The central heating was very noisy. So all in all not conducive to sleep.
Our room had a bath but reception staff advised beforehand it only had a shower.
Food in the restaurant was good and there was plenty of room for our family gathering.
It is a very convenient place to stay if you're exploring the local sights, such as Puzzlewood and Symonds Yat, which were both worth a visit.

Lovely setting and close to Cleawell Castle where we had a wedding to go to. Quiet hotel even though busy. Lovely breakfast in the clubhouse and service excellent.

Wouldn’t bother staying here
The room was ok. There was no shower gel in the room, the bed was squeaky and you could feel a spring in it. The door lock broke on the room, apparently the battery went in it but when the guy came to fix it he said that it had only happened the week before! The breakfast was average. Frankfurter rather than proper sausages and when I asked for the pain au chocolats they said that I’d have to wait for 20 mins! Ok, they would be fresh but surely they should be replenishing them when they run out?! Also the coffee machine at breakfast had run out.

Lovely hotel
Lovely, relaxing stay, nice setting, gym was very clean and up to date equipment.
Only issue we had was we could hear next door talking. Very thin walls.

Disappointed
I wasn't expecting much for 70 pounds a night but I was still disappointed! Terrible rooms, dated and poorly maintained. Bathroom was awful and the rooms had paper thin walls somwas impossible to get a good night's sleep due to noise from next doors bathroom. I will not be coming back ever.

Pleasant weekend getaway base
Bell's provided a good base for a pleasant weekend getaway to The Forest of Dean. The room was clean and comfortable - but down to earth; it's probably not the place for those looking for international chain uniformity or city swank, but for our purposes it was fine.

Great base to explore the Wye Valley
It’s more than a Golf hotel. The club house provides a decent bar food menu from Breakfast at 7.00 through to last orders at 9pm. Very nice staff the golf look Ok and there is bike hire on site also. Overall a great place for our two day bike adventure. 5 stars

Bathroom could have been cleaner. Whole place looked a little ‘tired’. Needs a lick of paint.
