Information For Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa
Ye Olde Bell Hotel has been established for almost 400 years and genuine, warm hospitality is at our very core with a consummate team of professionals just waiting to be of service to you.
An impressive 17th Century landmark, Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa is one of the region’s most romantic and best-loved wedding venues. Cherished by its local owners and dedicated team, this four star hotel has been lovingly restored throughout, respecting its heritage whilst bringing it firmly into the 21st Century.
Located on the borders of Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, this stylish and quintessentially English hotel is where the magic truly begins.
Lavishly furnished with antiques, adorned with stunning drapes, rich carpets and sparkling chandeliers, all complemented by the modern luxuries expected by today’s discerning guests.
Our approach to food is simple yet exceptional. Fabulous food prepared with flair, care and creativity and above all we promise flexibility.
A team of talented chefs with years of experience complemented by youthful chefs combine the traditional with a contemporary twist to create a memorable Wedding Breakfast.
Delve into our wine cellar for an amazing selection of ‘top shelf’ Champagnes, new and old world wine plus an array of exciting cocktails.
We have plenty of suggestions to guide you or you’re welcome to take the lead and let your imagination run wild.
Ye Olde Bell is truly a venue for all seasons. In spring or gardens are a carpet of snowdrops, bluebells and daffodils followed by summer sunshine with scented roses and hydrangeas. Autumn leaves are ablaze with rich colours whilst a ‘Winter Wonderland’ wedding brings romantic log fires and mulled wine, crisp frosts and maybe a flurry of snow.
Come and see us and let us create an unforgettable, magical and truly exceptional start to your life together.

Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa Reviews


To be honest there are no words that would reflect their high standards of professionalism; ability to meet our personal and individual needs; willingness to go that extra mile; every member of staff being so friendly and approachable; honourably advising of appropriateness and no evidence of wanting to make unrealistic profit from our special day; the high standard and the quality of the food; the rooms ... we had the Victoria Bridal Suite ... just wow.
Due to the teams attention to detail, you very quickly realise all the hard work from behind the scenes results in all your hopes and dreams becoming a reality on your special day.
Our thanks go out to every single staff member for helping us achieve the most perfect day filled with the most magical memories which will last us a lifetime.
We couldn't recommend Ye Old Bell highly enough.
Thankyou
