Fabulous overnight stay!

Jun 2025 – Tripadvisor review

Overnight stay to break our journey from the Midlands to Southern Cornwall did not disappoint. Lovely room, very comfortable bed, slept like logs with our furry Cockapoo companion. Evening meal was delicious in cosy surroundings. Gorgeous walks around the pub with very little traffic … real away from it all feel. Not to be missed!

A delicious Sunday Lunch

Oct 2025 – Tripadvisor review

The Ring Of Bells is a gorgeous, cosy old building, which has been restored in a contemporary but original style. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our food was delicious and both food and drinks were served quickly. Also dog friendly, which is a bonus. We would highly recommend this pub.

Ring of Bells Inn was hands down one of the best places we stayed during our England trip! The village and surrounding area are straight out of a postcard—so picturesque and charming. The inn itself is beautifully kept, and our room was spacious, modern, and incredibly cozy. The restaurant is top-notch. [Edited]
