About The Bell Inn
The High Road through Stanford-le-Hope sets the scene for The Bell Inn, a long-standing coaching inn with 26 rooms in the heart of the Essex town. It's the kind of setting where local life passes the front door, with the surrounding countryside and Festival Leisure Park within easy reach for anyone wanting to venture further afield.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi and drinks available in room, giving guests the basics done properly rather than any unnecessary frills. The inn itself is built around its restaurant and bar, with breakfast served on site and a garden for quieter moments outdoors. It also functions as a wedding venue and has meeting rooms, so it sees a fair mix of guests beyond overnight stays.
Practical touches include luggage storage, a laundry service and free on-site parking, useful for anyone arriving by car or breaking up a longer journey. Pets are welcome, and a golf course, along with further pubs and restaurants, can be found nearby. It's a straightforward base in Stanford-le-Hope for exploring this part of Essex.
