The Bell Inn

££Traditional British

Looking every inch the quintessential Cotswolds pub, The Bell Inn’s rustic charm is hard to resist with its cosy bar, impressive inglenook fireplace, stone walls and 16th-century origins. The appealing menu offers a mix of pub favourites – from a half pint of prawns to a choice of steaks – as well as restaurant-style dishes and homemade pizzas, which are all brought to the table by a friendly team. Nicely furnished bedrooms complete the picture.

Positive feedback highlights consistent food quality, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere, with guests appreciating the extensive menu and satisfying Sunday lunches. Conversely, negative reviews cite inconsistent service, including ordering errors, slow pacing, and unwelcoming staff. Some diners reported mediocre food portions and questioned the value for money.
