About us
In the rural countryside village of Barnby Moor near Retford Nottinghamshire, Ye Olde Bell dates back to the days of stagecoaches and highwaymen when it first provided a comfortable stopover on the original Great North Road! We now have 49 fabulous rooms to choose from! Ranging from singles to family rooms and stunning suites, all have been individually styled by Hilary herself with great passion and enthusiasm. We have six function rooms from a smart boardroom for 10 to a grand suite accommodating up to 250 delegates theatre style. Whether it is a conference, meeting or event, we offer the finest traditions of a country house hotel combined with modern technology, and our extensive grounds are ideal for team building events.
