About this property

Norton 1 mile. Situated in the village of Campsall, near Norton in the Doncaster district and county of South Yorkshire sits this vast, two-storey converted pub, The Old Bells. Located between the village of Whitely and the town of South Elmsall, The Old Bells is well situated for exploring. As a space that used to be a pub that served the local community with its wide-open living spaces and outdoor patio, The Old Bells provides a perfect base to explore the local amenities and relax in style with six bedrooms for up to 18 guests and three well-behaved dogs. Make the most of being together by watching a film in the stylishly appointed living area, with plenty of room to spread out and relax. For those that enjoy being active, play a round or two of pool then hang out at the beautiful bar area or in one of the two hot tubs which you’ll find in the indoor spa room accessed via 3 steps from the pool room. When you’re getting peckish, head to the well-appointed kitchen with two electric hobs and fully equipped with all you’ll need to cook up a feast for the whole family, which you can serve to all your guests in the inviting dining room that seats 18.
