Perfect venue for our special day!

Alex and the entire team at The Old Bell Hotel were so incredibly supportive throughout the process of planning our intimate wedding reception. The wide range of food on offer (which was all exquisite) and the options for different locations within the hotel to cater for different sized celebrations were great and what helped us to decide that The Old Bell was the place for us.
