Great Location

Totally surrounded by countryside, it offers total peace and tranquillity, great food and a country atmosphere. Yet due to good major roads links of the M11/A11 & A14 it is a surprisingly easy drive from anywhere in the country.

About Us

The Six Bells is a perfect country escape set on the edge of the village green, near the duck pond in the pretty Suffolk village of Bardwell. Originating in the late 1500s, the Inn was enlarged in the 19th century and more recently by ourselves. It now offers a characterful blend of old and new. Totally surrounded by countryside, it offers total peace and tranquillity, great food and a country atmosphere.

Nice and lovely stuff, very welcoming. The area itself is very quite and peaceful, nicely looked after. Lots of trees and flowers, if you like being surrounded by nature the place is for you. The room wasn't very isolated from the sound, you can hear people talking in the next room and their TV being on, all evening and early in the morning.... 😅😅 Also, because the room doors are so old, the lock is not working very well and you can hear everything from outside too, but I liked the birds chirping in the evening... 💖 Breakfast was lovely. In summary I'd love to come back here for sure, I didn't really mind the little things, just making people aware. 🙏
