Ye Olde Bell Hotel are committed to providing an appropriate service for prospective guests with disabilities.
As Ye Olde Bell has no lift or ground floor bedrooms we do lack facilities for guests with severe mobility limitations but we make every effort to make our hotel as accessible as possible.
We welcome any enquiries from guests with disabilities so we can discuss their requirements and all reasonable attempts will be made to meet these.
