The Bell in Ticehurst

De kamer was geweldig. We zaten in de Bird House, wat heerlijk over de top was (met een vogelkooi op het dak en een glas-in-lood raam tussen de kamer en de badkamer en heel veel andere vogel-details). Toch vond ik het een relaxte kamer om in te zijn. Er was veel ruimte voor bagage, met een kleine inloopkast. De douche was super. Ook buiten en in de pub waren veel gekke beelden, schilderijtjes en andere leuke details. Een feest om rond te kijken! Het personeel was super vriendelijk en meedenkend. Het ontbijt uitgebreid en lekker. We zijn er maar 1 nacht geweest, maar wat een toffe plek.

Het tweepersoonsbed is iets aan de krappe kant, maar voor Engeland geen gekke maat.

The restaurant staff were fantastic. The food was excellent. When the breakfast took an age to arrive they were very polite, professional and apologetic.

What I dont like is getting ripped off. I booked a classic double room. The room (Its name was Art) we were given had no windows, was claustrophobic with a bathroom that was so small that I struggled to sit on the loo without my knees getting wedged against the opposite wall. Admittedly the shower was good and had lashings of hot water. Breakfast was a complete saga. The queue for the ridiculous conveyor belt toaster irritated everyone, especially as after filling it with bread and the nauseating wait it came out as.......bread. Perhaps they should take the self service principle one step further and have their guests cook their own eggs and sausages? The price for the room (I'd sooner call it a Farrow and Ball clad shed) was £245 for the night. Together with dinner, wine, breakfast and the £15.39 service charge that was automatically added to my bill, I ended up with the night costing me just shy of £450 for the two of us. At the end of the day this place is a noisy, albeit fun pub with some funky rooms, minute car park and an incredibly snotty attitude from the lady I raised these points with when checking out.

Beautiful building and location. Food and atmosphere was great and staying overnight was wonderful.

Decor and good

Atmosphere, quirkiness, food, customer service, comfort and cleanliness all excellent
