− Car parking system. Does not work putting name against a slot that someone has already taken because they probably do not realise that it is reserved.

+ The Blue Bell at Arkendale is a really attractive inn, with a beautifully appointed restaurant and bar area and equally well-furnished and comfortable bedrooms. Our evening meal was faultless, both in terms of the quality of the food and the standard of service. What particularly impressed us was the number of staff on duty – there must have been five or six young ladies looking after the bar and restaurant. The result was attentive, efficient and wonderfully relaxed service. No struggling to catch someone's attention or being told that only a particular member of staff could look after your table. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to help. A particularly lovely touch came when our son decided to order a dessert. We casually mentioned, rather jokingly, that as it was his birthday, he could treat himself. A few minutes later, his dessert arrived complete with a birthday candle, accompanied by a chorus of Happy Birthday from the staff! Such a thoughtful and spontaneous gesture, and one that made the evening particularly memorable. Above all, what really stood out was the staff. Not only were they thoroughly professional and attentive, but there was a genuine sense that they enjoyed their work and being part of the team. That makes an enormous difference to the atmosphere of any establishment. Congratulations to everyone at The Blue Bell. There is absolutely no question that we will return the next time we are in the area. Highly recommended.
− If there is one very minor suggestion, it would be that our double bedroom would have benefited from a second easy chair rather than just the one.
