The Old Bell Inn

The Old Bell Inn stands as a historic, award-winning 18th-century coaching inn tucked away in the picturesque village of Delph within the Saddleworth hills. Rich in regional character, this AA 4-Star Gold property seamlessly balances its traditional stone-walled legacy with a famous contemporary reputation, most notably housing a Guinness World Record-breaking Gin Bar that stocks hundreds of varieties from across the globe. The property functions as an inspiring, atmospheric countryside retreat for corporate board meetings, executive strategy workshops, private client dinners, and intimate wedding celebrations across the Oldham district. Inside, the venue provides an exceptionally warm and welcoming environment defined by exposed heavy timber beams, traditional furnishings, cozy fireplaces, and 18 individually styled, boutique-standard bedrooms. Logistically, the rural sanctuary delivers a peaceful environment completely isolated from central municipal distractions while remaining easily accessible via local transport links near Greenfield railway station. Culinary expertise forms a key pillar of its corporate packages, with a kitchen team that produces exceptional, locally sourced seasonal dishes alongside classic British gastropub favorites. Backed by free high-speed wireless network access and a dedicated hospitality planning host, The Old Bell Inn provides a distinctive, character-rich location focused completely on delivering faultless corporate execution and unforgettable private events today
