Write a review
Step back in time without sacrificing comfort at The Bell Inn Stilton Cambridgeshire. This inviting 17th-century coaching house is tucked in the heart of the picturesque village of Stilton, just a short drive from Peterborough and with easy access to Cambridge. With its centuries-old beams, courtyard rooms, and cozy pub atmosphere, it’s the kind of place that combines historic character with modern convenience.
If you're heading to a show in Peterborough or the surrounding area, this hotel hits the sweet spot. Just a 15-minute drive from Peterborough's top venues, The Bell Inn offers a peaceful retreat after a high-energy night. Free parking and direct access to the A1 make late-night returns easy. The village location ensures a quiet night's sleep, and the flexible check-in from 3 PM and check-out by 11 AM means you can rest easy, even after a late encore.
The hotel serves up a full English breakfast—ideal after a late night. The on-site Galleried Restaurant showcases seasonal local produce in a stylish setting, while the Bistro and Village Bar offer traditional British and international dishes. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site options are delicious and just steps from your room.
While the village itself is quiet, The Bell Inn’s bar is a cozy spot to raise a glass post-concert. For those looking to keep the night going, nearby Peterborough offers pubs, cocktail bars, and live music spots just a short drive or taxi ride away.
Because it’s a historic property, some rooms may feel a bit quirky in layout, and hot water pressure can vary slightly. Also, while the village charm is a plus for many, those wanting to walk to late-night bars might find it a bit too peaceful after dark.
If you're after a charming, quiet, and well-located stay for your next concert trip, The Bell Inn Stilton Cambridgeshire hits all the right notes.

Lovely historic building, excellent location...
Liked: Lovely historic building. Good location close to the A1(M); only 2 minutes away and easy to find. Booked 2 single rooms; 1 was lovely with good proportions. Car park was flat which is always helpful when travelling on motorcycles, and out of view if the main road.
Disliked: Shower knob was broken, had to walk down to reception because the room phone didn’t work, however staff came up to the room to sort out a quick fix so I could use the shower. Second single room booked was small and cramped.

Lovely historic hotel with great...
Liked: Beautifully appointed room in a very nice hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean.They have a great little courtyard which is perfect for dining out in when the weather is good. All of our meals were excellent. The hotel is dog friendly which is great.
Disliked: For a Superior Double Room, we thought that the room and especially the bathroom were a bit on the small side.On the second night the radio appeared to have been left on in the dining area, which was next to our room. Whilst it wasn't very loud, it was audible and did disturb our sleep.

Perfect for a short stay
Liked: Lovely traditional feel, with excellent food and spacious rooms
Disliked: Room was hot due to being much hotter weather than normal - a small fan helped a bit in the room. Air conditioning would have been great but we realise this not possible in such an old property
