This former coaching inn dates from the 17th century, and enjoy an excellent reputation for good home cooked food and award winning beers and ales. In the late 1880s and early 1900s, having travelled on the Horndean light railway, visitors to the Ship & Bell would have seen a very similar exterior to today. The interior has changed several times, including the addition of 14 en suite bedrooms. Ship & Bell is the perfect location for business or leisure, always offering a warm welcome.
