Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We are local to this pub and go weekly when possible. Gary is a great host and this is an ideal place to stop for drinks when out walking up Halkyn.

Since we were last in the Blue Bell Inn it as changed ownership, The new landlord and is Partner were very friendly and made you feel at home. The Inn is still as cosy as ever which is a good thing considering it as been 8 years since being last there. And when ever we are in North Wales again we will call in for a drink or two

Nice cosy pub with good selection of real ales, popped in for a couple of drinks on a Saturday evening. Unfortunately they only seem to do baguettes and not meals, but if they did, could easily spend the night there.

Myself and the sister and her family went for a couple of drinks and what a lovely idea it was! The BR man Gary is a total gent and a good laugh! Also he had music on on the Friday and even the nephew knew a couple of songs and joined in with us! Lol 😂 Couldn't ask for a nice place with great people to go to have a beer or in my case a coffee!! I highly recommend a visit!
Thank Gary From Paula Blythen you made our night a great night! X

Hi, we're a traditional pub and don't do food, we focus on good quality drinks (hot, cold) atmosphere and events. We've got some good contacts for food nearby though,
