What a nice place! A lovely old stone pub/restaurant with loads of character in an equally lovely stone built village. The staff were super-friendly and attentive. The room was an old coach-shed conversion - very tastefully done with very good facilities and a comfortable bed. The food was first class and promptly served. The chef's pies (I had a Steak & Ale and a Lamb & Mint) were superb and beautifully served on a bed of delicious local veg. Recommended! I also had a chicken curry which was very good.

The Bluebell is working well as the village pub for Helpston, but is equally welcoming to tourists wishing to stay in the area. It is located approximately 20mins drive from Burghley House and Stamford, but is in a peaceful location, offering high quality accommodation and great value food and drink. The staff team were excellent, both courteous and helpful. It would be lovely to stay there again.

Great pub in very pretty village handy for Stamford, Peterborough and The Deepings. Staff were excellent, room suited our purpose very well - ground floor, walk in shower and king size bed. Great for an overnighter. Lovely unexpected touches for a pub stay - slice of lemon drizzle in the fridge, along with water and fresh milk; bath robes, fresh coffee; books and games.

Extremely clean and well thought out accommodation - practical touches like a hand held magnifying mirror extremely useful for ladies applying makeup 😉 Fresh milk in the fridge and a good selection of beverages in the room.Owners are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent breakfast with plenty of coffee and 'proper' size cups.

We were able to park behind the pub where there is a gate to the rooms. It was a small studio courtyard room with nice extra touches like bathrobes and a fridge with cake & fresh milk. Bed was quite comfy, the linens were nice, but the pillows very flat. Unfortunately there was an awful smell coming from the bathroom, which didn't seem to be the loo & more the shower drain, so we kept the door closed & the light/fan on, which lessened the smell. Dinner was very tasty, as was breakfast, although the chef was left alone to cook & serve the breakfast, so it made it a little awkward & took some time. Obviously the missing staff member could have had an emergency, so hopefully they are ok. All in all & nice stay.

Friendly busy traditional pub serving good food, with beautifully (newly) appointed rooms in the courtyard. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fresh milk, kettle all provided in the rooms which were well fitted out and comfortable. A very responsive landlady (Elena) who made us feel most welcome. Food service was a little slow on Saturday night, but it was very busy with a couple of large parties and they were a couple of staff down. They did their best under the circumstances, and the food was good when it came. It’s good to see a pub in a small village so well supported.

Everything! Staff and service were excellent from the moment we got there until we left! The deluxe room was beautiful- spotlessly clean with some lovely extras like fresh milk and cake as well as delicious coffee. The food can only be described as amazing, with generous portions served both at breakfast and our evening meal- so much so, there was no room for pudding! The Bluebell was genuinely dog friendly- our dog was made to feel very welcome. I cannot recommend this place highly enough both for quality and value for money! We will definitely go back!

Excellent food, we enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner all of which were varied and of a high standard coupled with really friendly service plus at lunch/dinner some great beers .... and a great red Rioja which punches way above its price point! I particularly liked the fact that I was able to take my dog with me who was also made very welcome and even given recommendations for places to take her for a walk! My Mate was delighted as while quietly watching football on his iPad it was spotted by one of the Team and the TV switched on for him to see it on the bigger screen👍

Breakfast was exceptionally well cooked on both mornings and served promptly and with a smile. I was made to feel like a valued customer. My room was perfect. I was able to park right outside my door so felt that my vehicle was safe and it was easy for me to unload. I was left with milk in a bottle in the fridge and enough tea and coffee for far longer than I was staying. I was also left water and fresh orange juice in the fridge along with cake and shortbread. Even the hair dryer had a long lead so I could actually look in the mirror when I used it. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a good sized shower with hair and body gel provided. I had lasagne for my first dinner which was home cooked and absolutely delicious and the steak I had on the second evening was cooked (rare) to perfection.

This old pub has such history, which is nicely celebrated by the owners. Its location and connections with the poet John Clare make it a destination for those interested in his life and history. The pub is friendly, and the evening menu is very good, catering for all tastes and delicious.
