About The Lower Bell

The Lower Bell puts its bar and restaurant at the centre of things, with a menu, breakfast service and outdoor seating giving guests a proper pub base rather than just a place to sleep. Drinks can also be brought up to the room, and the outdoor seating area makes for a relaxed spot to eat or have a pint when the weather allows.

Above the pub sit four en-suite rooms, straightforward and comfortable rather than elaborate, with free WiFi included. The property also handles more than overnight stays, with meeting rooms and a wedding venue on site, plus business services, luggage storage and valet parking for those passing through Aylesford on other business.

The Kent setting means a golf course, other pubs and restaurants, and local entertainment are all within easy reach, making The Lower Bell a convenient stop for exploring the area. Free on-site parking is provided throughout.
