Ring O' Bells — Restaurant in Calderdale

Phoned before I booked to check i could have a quiet room, not overlooking a road. Told yes, most rooms at the back Arrived and given room at the front, over looking road and train line which you could clearly hear.. About 7 guys right under my window really loud as seats under my window outside front of pub and one window didnt close. Went to ask about changing the room and also about WiFi. But felt odd as when walking to bar, everyone turns, stops talking, listening in. So just asked for WiFi password for now. Went back to the room. 3 different options for pub WiFi. Not one of them worked. Went back down to ask again and asked my guys at the bar if I was from London as complaining. Steve, the guy managing the place said he had no idea about Internet and couldn't help. Still didnt ask about the room as felt I couldn't right then.

When pub closed, I asked to change room. Finally gave me a room at the back. Then said he was closing up and going home. I asked who else was in the building. He said noone except me as noone lives or works on premises over night. I would never have booked if I had known I would be the only person there from pub closing time.

I asked who to contact if a problem and he said he didnt know. Then said he would give me his mobile no. 5 mins later I contacted him as still no WiFi and no TV remote. No response. Also I asked him when in new room, where a locked door in my room led too as was really worried someone could enter from the other side. He said he had no idea. No response when I contacted him. I felt completely vulnerable there and just after 11pm I left and found another place. The next day I got a message from him saying "sorry, I went home to bed". - but I had contacted 5 mins after he gave me the key to the new room. And also - gave me a number noone was going to answer even if I really needed to.

I dont know about food as...

Ring O' Bells is a proper pub which oozes its 400 year old legacy. You'll find an equally warm welcome from both bar staff and regular patrons. Nestled on the outskirts of the town with the historic Halifax Minster as a most atmospheric backdrop, The Ring O' Bells is a real ale drinkers paradise with a constant variety of quality, ever changing award winning beers. Lager drinkers can take comfort with the reliable, premium Staropramun on offer. This place is marvellous. What raises it above the bar, for me, however, is the outstanding music playlist which provides a most epic soundtrack for the surroundings (inside the bar and beer garden areas.) I went at lunchtime today with some colleagues from work and Come Together by Primal Scream was just one of the legendary tracks played during my lunchtime pint. If there was ever a pub that deserved support and patronage in Halifax, then The Ring O' Bells...

How we have never found this pub before now is beyond me . We have been coming to Halifax for 9yrs . We came for a Brass Band Festival in the Minster which is literally seconds away from the pub. Cheryl is an amazing Land Lady , who is so welcoming . Nothing is too much trouble. The pub has all of its traditional charm, comfortable and welcoming. The rooms upstairs are immaculate, beautifully decorated, with comfy beds . Amazing bathroom and a lovely kitchen for residents to use should you need too . It was like staying in Cheryl's home rather than a pub . All that she asks is that you respect her property. We have had a lovely weekend. We will definitely be back. Thankyou so much Cheryl and Steve for being excellent hosts.

Lots of love

Monica and...
