The Bell is presented well, Room was very nicely decorated , with some thoughtful touches , hairdryer in bag, iron and ironing board, and good quality toiletries … but a few housekeeping issues, blind on one window wasn’t working , one table lamp had a faulty bulb connection, really difficult to fill the large kettle in the small sink and only discovered very early on departure morning that there were no regular tea bags in the room ( too early to ask anyone for some as we were leaving very early, before breakfast service) sadly we found the room very noisy, both from the outside road and from the bar/ dining area downstairs, ( we asked to be moved but no other room option available) Disappointing as otherwise a well presented location…

Breakfast was good. Room not great for a deluxe room, no window at all only a velux. Evening meal not and we were made to feel very unwelcome and told us they couldn't serve any more "walk ins" today. Explained we were staying there and that the person who checked us in sam we could come down for dinner up to 9pm (which it does say in the room brochure too) and it was only 7.30pm! Very reluctantly served us even though kitchen open until 8. The girl that served us was lovely, couldn't say the same for her colleagues. Won't be going again even though been going there for over 30 years.

From our arrival to our departure we were made to feel very welcome, we had a lovely night's stay here. The staff were really friendly and helpful and greeted us warmly. The food was exceptional, we had an evening meal and breakfast with timely service and attention to detail. We thought the whole experience of our stay was great and nothing was too much trouble. There was a Farmers Market on in the grounds when we were leaving which seemed to be going well and I'd imagine would bring in more customers. A great idea. Our bedroom was big with a big bathroom too, nice shower too. Lots of space, we had a comfortable night's sleep and even being over the pub and next to the road we didn't notice any noise in the later part of the night. We'd definitely recommend this lovely Pub with Rooms to anyone to stay. So glad we booked The Bell and thanks again to the manager and staff.

Excellent place to stay

Beautiful place, wished we were staying longer. All areas tastefully decorated & the outside areas are lovely & private even though its a big area. Room 3 is lovely, comfy bed, again beautifully decorated but the shower, is huge & powerful. Heaven!! If we are in the area again, definitely staying here. Thanks to the fabulous staff too.

Room 1 bedroom has no windows and no fresh air. It was given to a couple staying for 4 nights!! To replace it for the remaining 3 nights we were placed in the front room 6 on the main road. The staff didn't provide a welcome nor any care for our comfort. When asked for a box of tissues, it was not provided. Obviously the bar traffic makes up for poor attention to detail to those staying in the bedrooms. As for the food, the Chicken Milanese was cooked twice and like leather. Even the salad portions were poor. We do not recommend this tavern for overnight stays, despite the obvious closeness to so many beautiful Cotswold villages and other venues. The lunch service and food was good.

Food was lovely and love that there’s so many gluten free options. Disappointed that you didn’t have gluten free sausages for breakfast. Room was lovely just a shame that the windows are frosted as feels claustrophobic. Also quite noisy from room above. Pleased to have a bath in the room though.
