Your Suffolk Retreat

Rated one of the 'Hottest New Hotels in the UK' by The Independent newspaper

Welcome to the Bell Hotel Saxmundham

Situated in the heart of coastal Suffolk, our Grade II listed hotel, bar and restaurant is steeped in history. We’ve even entertained royalty, with King George II resting his head here in 1737. Today, when you stay in one of our unique, coastal heritage themed rooms, you can expect a royal welcome of your own from our guest services team.

We’re ideally situated for exploring Suffolk’s beautiful maritime heartland, with resorts like Aldeburgh and Southwold nearby. You’ll also find Framlingham Castle, many historic market towns and countless beauty spots within easy reach when you make The Bell Hotel Saxmundham your luxury base for an unforgettable Suffolk coastal visit.

UNWIND IN OUR QUINTESSENTIAL BAR

Looking to relax and replenish after a day’s sightseeing, unwind after a business trip, or simply passing through? Then pull up a stool at the bar, recline with friends in one of our cosy nooks, and make yourself at home – there’s space for everyone here, and we can’t wait to see you.

Bring your dog when you stay at the Bell Hotel Saxmundham

We know it can be difficult finding a dog-friendly hotel that also offers a luxurious guest experience. Fortunately, here at the Bell Hotel, we love dogs so much that we’ve created two dog-friendly hotel rooms for you and your four-legged friend to enjoy. After all, there’s so many walks around here, it would be a pity not to bring your pooch along.
