The Blue Bell at Arkendale

Superb

The staff felt like family.

Liked: Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The location was peaceful but not remote. We particularly appreciated the dedicated parking space and complimentary drink on arrival.
Disliked: Everything was just fine. We had the best time.

Perfection & extremely attentive staff

Liked: From welcome drink, to homemade cakes each day in our room & staff who go above and beyond if something isn’t right or you need something. Outstanding customer service. The property was central to our locations to visit. Allocated car parking for residents. Well kept property & grounds, with spacious rooms & areas. The aroma scents in the ladies toilets are divine. Vivienne & Amber stood out to us with their customer service. Breakfast & evening meals were faultless & clearly use local produce “exceptional food!”

Exceptional

Superb

Liked: our stay was well-planned/thought out by the staff; we enjoyed a designated parking place, great breakfast, comfortable bed, clean room, large bathroom and lovely walk-out balcony, we only wish it had been warmer and that we could have stayed longer to enjoy more!
