Bell at Hampton

We stayed for one night here to visit Blenheim palace as it was so close, we were warmly welcomed on arrival and showed to our room which was lovely and cosy and comfortable. It was a Saturday evening and we hadn’t booked a table for food but they kindly squeezed us in even though they were very busy, the food was very good as was the breakfast the next morning, there was a continental breakfast laid out and we had the choice of full English or different types of eggs, we chose to have omelettes which were delicious. All in all it was a great place to stay and I’d highly recommend it.

They cancelled my booking as they had changed ownership but I got no refund they had told me to cancel but it was a non refund booking I suspect that has resulted in no refund I expect a FULL refund

As previously responded, we cannot review this hotel because when we arrived after receiving confirmation of our booking and payment the hotel was closed so we had to find last minute accommodation elsewhere.

spacious, comfortable and well equipped accomodation.

Our stay was enjoyable but access to the upstairs cottage room was not easy but once there the room was nicely furnished. The bathroom did not have a shower or shower attachment on the bath. The lampshade on the standard lamp had fallen of its mounting. The worst aspect was that outside the cottage wisteria had been allowed to grow accros the room window so that the was virtually no natural light.

Nice stay. Lovely friendly staff

On arrival there was staff outside smoking and drinking,the young man who seemed to be in charge was a university student ,apparently the hotel manager had been dismissed for some criminal activity so the young man tried to do his best,there seemed to be a lack of staff and he was obviously filling in as best he could,at the bar there wasn’t any Whiskey or Brandy,at breakfast there wasn’t any bacon ,salmon or porridge,the room was nice ,large bed etc etc not the cleanest we stayed in but it was ok,food in the restaurant was again ok,it seems that a new owner of the hotel was due in September and because of this the hotel had been allowed to let the previous good standards go,generally there didn’t seem to be anybody in charge and staff were running the hotel,I understand that the hotel was previously well regarded and hopefully once the new owners take over it will get back to its previous high standards.

Lovely little place Really lovely staff too

We had an okay stay here. Clean room, comfortable bed, breakfast included. Room had bath, no shower - knew there was a chance of this but unusual nowadays. Service here is not great - it has a bit of strange vibe as a pub, and staff are not very professional and don't seem bothered. I think there are much nicer places to stay for the price. Wouldn't return.

We had a lovely stay at Bell at Hampton. The young man at check in was very helpful and the area has some nice walking around too. Our only complaint was that our room lacked a bit of lighting, perhaps something in the ceiling.

Welcomed on arrival and shown out too, just the right size, lovely comfy bed and a good shower. Aircon unit in the room! Breakfast was tasty. All staff were helpful, parking was easy.

First of all, let me say that the staff are AMAZING. This is not at all a review of the service. But the facility is ATROCIOUS. Our room had pubic hair on the floor of the bathroom, no hot water unless you ran it for 5 min, the tub wouldn't drain, the ceiling in room 6 was sp low, we hit out head, and there was no AC. Again, great staff but don't ever book a room here.

Tout a été parfait. Je recommande vivement ce lieu.

Staff Super helpful

Really lovely Inn, very luxury feel. Clean and comfortable. Only stayed for 1 night, but would recommend.

Sadly lack of restaurant staff training brought the review down. Service was slow, repeatedly asked for things, too many things were not available on the menu, lack of knowledge about the dishes, mistakes were made with orders. Otherwise it's great. The rooms are good, the beer/wine good, the food that did get served was good, the staff were friendly. Would have been 5* were it not for the restaurant service.

Excellent stop off for Blenheim Palace. Relaxing & peaceful.

Lovely location - room was very quaint and comfortable, would definitely stay again if in the area

Booked due to proximity to Blenheim Palace, only about 15 mins away by car/taxi. Great rustic pub offering very comfortable & clean rooms. We booked one of three luxury double rooms, where we got the only one with a shower - the other 2 have baths only. Pretty spacious given it's a converted cottage with queen size bed. Quiet location but easy to find. If attending an event at Blenheim, then would certainly recommend. We ate in the pub - food was decent, nice friendly staff.

All good
