A fantastic few nights stay while we explored the local area. The room was functional and comfortable. what really made our stay stand out was the landlord and the locals, they were all super helpful and chatty. If you are happy with a no frills stay in a beautiful area i would highly recomend the Bell

Arrived close to closing time and was warmly greeted by publcan, staff and pub regilars. Felt safe and was well fed at breakfast time. Nice to hear other guests talking about their intended visitsof the day. Publican helpful with my additional enquiries and offered suggestions of taxis to get to and from a venue.. Lovely lunch eaten after checking out. Beer Garden well looked after and village was nice to wander around with further walks suggested, if required. The place is cared for. Would go again 8f opportunity arises.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a great experience. The location is quiet, which makes it ideal for a more relaxed stay, yet still convenient enough for getting around. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was genuinely impressive, especially the amazing breakfast, which was a real highlight of my visit. The room itself was comfortable but a little dated and could use some TLC. It didn’t take away from the stay too much, but it’s something to keep in mind if you prefer more modern accommodation. Friday night was a bit rowdy, so it might not be perfect if you’re hoping for an early night. There’s no on-site parking, but there is plenty of free on-street parking nearby, which was convenient. Overall, a pleasant stay with great service and food, in a quiet location with just a few small areas that could be improved.

Room was clean and comfortable, although had been recently redecorated, and furniture had not all been replaced, so had to request a hanging rail. A small desk and chair would have been useful too. Staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast very good with generous portions. Did not try the restaurant or bar, overall very happy with choice and would use again.

Friendly pub and staff, sat in a picturesque village. Just a few little touches would make this a 5 star review. There were bedside tables with draws, but nowhere to hang a coat or clothes. Room was clean and en-suite well stocked with toiletries. Had to move the kettle to plug it in, and although we had tea sugar and milk, we had to ask for coffee, but this was sorted quickly. Breakfast menu as you come in to dining room would be helpful or in the rooms.

I stayed in a single room. Was clean and the mattress was comfy. I would have liked a chair and a fan in the room. Toiletries and tea-making facilities. Landlord apologised for the building works taking place on the pub. I had a good fish dinner. Didn't explore the village but looks pretty and a lot of locals use the pub. No car park but seems to be an adequate availability of street parking. Short drive to Kelmscott.

The owner reduced the rate prior to the visit due to ongoing building works. We had no issue with this as only staying one night. But the walkways to and from the rooms were untidy and messy, even though the building works are happening this could have been kept a bit tidier. The room was freshly decorated, but the tv didn’t work, there is no overhead light only two small wall lights one of which doesn’t work, the blind does not cover the window so at 4am it was very bright in the room. The bathroom radiator was thick with dust, presumably from recent decorating, the previous persons empty shower gel was still on the top of the shower cubicle. All these are easy fixes and if sorted would make a nice stay. The breakfast was very nice and the landlord was pleasant.

We stayed in Room 4 arriving on 16th April. Toilet found to have feces in it and not cleaned properly! Carpet in room not vaccumed. Mirror in bathroom had fallen and was located on sink not secured. Only window to room had 90 degree slats fitted on exterior. Room very dark. Unable to open window that had a large amount of dirt to its outside and building had scaffolding to its exterior as a roof repair was due to take place shortly. The crash bar to the fire escape door that was the only point of entry broke as we exited! In all very poor and should not have been advertised! A pump for the water was located in the roof space close to the room and provided a lovely wake up call at 6:30 am due to its loud noise as other residents used water! Manager not present as night off!
