BELL Apartments

Friars House has been given a Booking.com Traveller Review Award for 2026.

It's our fourth year running, and it isn't judged by a panel. It comes straight from the scores guests leave after they stay, which is what makes it the one we're most pleased to get.

Thank you to everyone who stayed with us this year, and to the team who keep nine apartments running to the same standard week in, week out.

If you're visiting Stafford, we're five minutes' walk from the station, right in the town centre. Book direct at https://bellapartments.co.uk

Sometimes you take for granted what’s right on your doorstep.

We’re often reminded by our guests just how beautiful the area really is - the views, the history, the little moments you stop noticing when it’s home.

Seeing it through fresh eyes is a pleasure every time.

A huge congratulations to everyone who took part in the yesterday. What an incredible achievement for every single runner who showed up, pushed themselves, and crossed that finish line – you should all be so proud.

As a team, we want to give the warmest and most heartfelt congratulations to our very own Daniel Bell, owner and managing director of BELL Apartments, for not only completing the challenge but also smashing his personal best and completing the race in 59’32”.

Your determination, resilience, and commitment are an inspiration to us all and some of the members of the team are thinking of taking part next year.

🚨 𝗪𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽!🚨

In the early hours of this morning (around 1 AM), two vehicles were 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 along Friars Road, Stafford. One of them 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 and crashed through our fencing and wall – and of course, they 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it could have been much worse.

This is a 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮, lined with homes where families live – reckless driving like this is completely unacceptable. Those responsible 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

The vehicle involved in the collision is 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘆, possibly 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱, and has 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁-𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲. If you’re reading this – we have parts of your car, and the 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽.

📢 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 – these people should not be endangering lives in our town! If you have any information, contact the police or message us directly. Let’s make Stafford safer. 🙏
