We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were helpful and friendly and ready to converse freely. Had we known before that The Bell allows dog to stay, we would have brought our dog. On the whole we would happily recommend The Bell to friends and family

Great host
My husband and I visited for 2 nights for our wedding anniversary, we enjoyed it that much we decided to stay on an extra night. Chantel the host was absolutely amazing and genuinely a very nice lady, her breakfasts are excellent. Lovely place very convenient to other areas of the Cotswolds and for a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we’ll be able to visit again in the future.

Nice Cotswold's stay
Nice superior double room, bed was very comfortable, a bit noisy as the room was situated above the bar. If we stayed again I would book a standard room in the adjacent building.
Very accommodating as the pub wasn't serving food on a Sunday evening but the chef kindly catered for us.
Breakfast was nice, pre ordered the night before due to covid policy.

Lovely place for the Cotswolds
The Inn was beautiful and amazing. Despite being opened just after lockdown, the staff did everything possible to make the stay really welcoming. WiFi was patchy but when I flagged it, staff sorted it straightaway. It was a lovely place to stay in the Cotswolds and very reasonably priced.

Old friends meet up
I had stayed in the Bell years ago on business and had always wanted to return with my wife. Sadly it was the funeral of an old friend that caused this to happen but it meant that we were able to meet up again with old friends that we hadn’t seen in a while. The location and service we received all contributed to a very enjoyable experience given the circumstances

Room position was really quiet.
Breakfast items - bacon/sausage was tough and chewy to eat. Tasted like items had been cooked previously and heated up. The next day i went for eggs/beans on toast - it smelt odd so didnt eat it. No general information in the room. Sparce tea/coffee items available.

Called ahead as requested but no answer. We arrived in Charlbury to find the roads in the village blocked off due to an annual fair. Would have been good to have been told that as we then had to park in the co-op car park and walk down to the pub with our bags. We managed to get the car later in the evening but it was a pain. The room itself was fine, however the bathroom door didn’t close properly and despite our best efforts we couldn’t get the tv to work. Breakfast ok. A bit cramped if everyone is eating at the same time but the service and food was fine. Basically good for an overnight stay.

Four Nights at The Bell Inn Charlbury
The owners and staff are friendly but one must not forget that this is more of an Inn with accommodation. We observed the timing of the late check-in so there was no excuse for the fact that the carpet had not been vacuumed and the lack of bath towels. At our request, bath towels were provided the following day but there was no evidence of vacuuming. We stayed 4 nights and were pleased with the spacious room and bathroom suite but following our first night, the bed was never made, one bar of soap was the only toiletry provided, lavatory rolls were only replenished as a result of our request and the bath would not drain on the day of our departure as the plug system and, on reporting this, was told that it was temperamental. Fortunately, the writer has no problem with the very adequate shower. Breakfast was perfectly adequate and rather what one might expect on a B&B tariff. A little more attention to detail with our room and bathroom suite would have made all the difference and resulted in a glowing referral rather than one which rates the Bell Inn as adequate but its staff friendly and willing.
