The Bluebell Inn has garnered various dining experiences, showcasing both delight and disappointment. While some diners praised the exquisite menu and attentive service, others recounted struggles with tough steak dishes and dismissive staff. Several appreciated the vibrant atmosphere and well-prepared meals, particularly highlighting the charcuterie board and beef pie. However, issues like long wait times and abrupt service led to dissatisfaction among a few guests. Despite these mixed reviews, the overall ambiance, thoughtful presentations, and commitment to accommodating dietary needs leave room for potential return visits. A visit may depend more on luck than legacy.

This hotel is nice enough but a one hour wait for a beef stew for lunch is totally unacceptable. Guest should be warned of such a wait.
