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, the hotel invites a new generation of travellers, sightseers, and lovers of local food and drink into the warm and welcoming interior.
