Bell Inn, Peterborough

The Bell Inn, historically an important stop on the Great North Road between London and York, is one of the finest surviving examples of a 17th century Coach House in the country.

Renowned as the birthplace of Stilton Cheese and situated in the village of Stilton, The Bell has stood on its present site since 1500, though earlier incarnations, (as long ago as 1437) have been recorded.
The current buildings date from 1642.

"There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn."
- Samuel Johnson

Built around the old courtyard, these rooms have been skilfully blended into ageless stonework offering olde world charm, relaxing comfort and the most modern facilities.

We have 22 en-suite bedrooms including 2 four posters and several with jacuzzi baths. All have recently been refurbished and offer a pleasing, comfortable setting for your visit.

We also have 3 ground floor rooms which have been designed specifically with our disabled guests in mind offering easy access and user friendly facilities.

Each bedroom at the inn has been individually furnished in keeping with the style of this charming building. All bedrooms feature colour television with full channel reception, including Sky Channels - (excluding Garden rooms), direct dial telephone system, tea and coffee making facilities and en suite bathrooms. In addition we offer deluxe rooms with whirlpool baths and four poster beds....

Our Kitchen brigade take great care and pride in the preparation of all dishes which are beautifully presented and consist as far as possible of locally sourced produce. The Bell is recommended in both the Michelin Guide and Good Pub Guide.

The Bistro welcomes both diners and non-diners. Low ceilings and exposed beams are complemented by soft up lighting; contemporary art gives the bistro its distinctive feel. Offering both traditional favourites, as well as internationally influenced dishes.

The Bistro was opened in 2003 and created an alternative to the usual pub surroundings. Seating around fifty, this intimate eatery ensures quality, value, with personal service - quiet and unhurried.

This bustling Bistro has the perfect ambiance whether you are enjoying a romantic dinner for two or a larger celebration with friends or colleagues.
