What can you expect from Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa?
Surrounded by picturesque countryside, the extensive gardens at Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa feature the fairytale Oak Pavilion and contemporary Mediterranean-style Garden Terrace Bar. Dating back to the 17th century, the venue blends classic and contemporary touches for a quintessentially English venue in every season.

The hotel combines traditional features such as oak panelling, open fires and chandeliers with contemporary finishes. There are numerous function spaces, 59 bedrooms, suites and luxury lodges, two dining venues and a luxury multi-million-pound spa.

Time to celebrate!
All sizes of events are catered for here, from an intimate celebration for two to a grand affair for up to 250 people. Outside, couples can choose from the fairytale Oak Pavilion (30 guests) with its pretty box-hedge aisle or the gardens for bigger outdoor events.

The Bradgate and Wiseton Suites (180 guests) boast ornate moulded ceilings, oak panelling and fifteen twinkling chandeliers. With direct access to the gardens it brings the outdoors in. The Nielsen and Levack Suites (120 guests) are bright elegant spaces, while smaller gatherings will suit the Restaurant Bar 1650 (40 guests) or the very intimate Victoria Suite (14 guests), which is named after the young queen who visited during her reign.

We love...
Wedding-night accommodation is complimentary for newlyweds and they'll also receive a free 30-minute facial each.
