Accessibility Guide for The Blue Bell Inn

Welcome

We are a family run award winning hotel and restaurant located in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds in the gorgeous village of Weaverthorpe overlooking the village green, surrounded by open fields and woodland.

Originally a 19th Century thatched inn, our country retreat retains many of it's rustic and defining features, and offers guests the ideal getaway...

We are a stones throw away from the stunning Yorkshire coastm and are also close to Castel Howard, Sledmere House, Dalby Forrest, The Wolds Way and Flamingo Land. It is only a short drive to Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington and Malton made famous by it's markets and festivals.

We look forward to welcoming you.
