We were planning to meet up with some friends in Essex and decided to make it an overnight stay so we could have a few drinks, we looked for the nearest Hotel to where we were meeting and found an absolute golden treasure with The Bell Hotel in Horndon on the Hill Essex, The Hotel is very cleverly set out with the Bell Pub a beautiful cosy country pub with a lovely garden area for enjoying the last of the summer days while sampling a couple of beers, the reception for the Hotel is located next to the Pub, with a communal yard, the reception staff were very welcoming, pleasant and professional, explaining the hotel rooms are a few building further down and called the Ostlers, which is also where you can get an amazing breakfast if required, the lady on reception physically took us to our room, even asking if we needed help with our luggage, The room was nothing short of amazing, it is advertised as a large cosy double room, which does not do it anywhere near justice, it certainly is cosy but every details is catered for, very spacious, the bathroom has to be seen to be believed, it is the largest bathroom I have ever had with a hotel room, set out as a gorgeous toilet shower room. All the staff we interacted with from receptionist, to bar staff to breakfast serving staff, were all so pleasant, polite, accommodating, very tentative while being totally professional. Our thanks go to all the staff and Management who make The Bell Hotel the success that it is as you have got everything right, we will be back. One happy customer Kevin. …
