The Bell Hotel Saxmundham has a rich past filled with local folklore and national history. In Georgian times it was the hub of the local community, and a place for travellers – and sometimes kings – to park their coaches and rest their weary heads. Now, having restored the hotel to its full glory, we invite a new generation of travellers, sightseers, and lovers of local food and drink into our warm and welcoming interior.

Our hotel’s ground floor is completely wheelchair accessible, ensuring convenience for our disabled guests. Additionally, we offer a lift that grants access to the bedrooms located on our first floor.
You’ll find us just off the A12, meaning the region’s attractions, coastal beauty and industrial links are all within easy reach. For guests travelling in by train, we’re just a minute’s walk from Saxmundham station, which has a direct line to Ipswich and Liverpool Street Station in London.
We have three lockable bike racks on the terrace, which are very useful for cyclists who visit us by train and then explore the area by bike.
Throughout our thorough renovation process, one of our key objectives was to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their abilities. In the initial phase, we added a wheelchair-accessible ramp to our rear entrance, ensuring that the entire ground floor is now easily accessible to all. In the subsequent phase, we introduced a lift, and we are delighted that we now offer multiple accessible rooms on our first floor.
Our commitment to ensuring the comfort and well-being of all our guests, remains unwavering.
Thanks to our great road and rail links, The Bell Hotel Saxmundham is ideal for business travellers looking to reach the major industrial hubs located around Suffolk’s coastal region. With wi-fi you can rely on, and a great restaurant for entertaining colleagues and clients, you will be able to work, relax and entertain during your stay.
We take our responsibility towards the environment seriously. Our dedicated efforts to minimise our environmental impact are at the core of our values.

Responsible waste management
We understand the importance of reducing waste and managing it responsibly. Our waste management practices ensure that we minimise landfill contributions, recycle materials whenever possible, and adhere to eco-friendly disposal methods.
Energy conservation
Conserving energy is not only good for the planet but also for our guests’ comfort. We have implemented energy-efficient technologies throughout the hotel, from LED lighting to smart thermostats. By doing so, we not only reduce our carbon footprint but also provide a more sustainable and enjoyable experience for our guests.
Local suppliers, global impact
We believe in the power of supporting local businesses. By sourcing our products from nearby suppliers, we not only bolster the local economy but also reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation. This not only helps us connect with the community but also aligns with our broader commitment to the environment.
