The Bell Hotel  

Location in the heart of a Cotswold village was good. The accommodation block separate from the hotel and with good access to car-park is a bonus. Obviously an older establishment brought up to date, but more positively than others.

The usual stairs and passageways, can't have it both ways!

Staff very friendly. Very nice decor, modern, clean, and comfy lounge area and bar. Good place to explore area around it, such as Blenheim Palace. Good place to go walking lots of countryside and not much traffic to worry about. Quiet location too.

The room was ok, but due to age of the property floor in room was uneven, which wasnt bad when walking on it but the bed was at an angle and it felt like you would fall out. One velux window had a gap below it, which you could see the outside through, and the wind came in. There was no way of using phone for reception it didnt work, and had to go back to the bar to ask for anything. When we got there the reception was closed and had to wait for the one member of staff to finish at the bar to check in. Showerhead needed descaling, radiators in room didnt come on so room cold ( although they did provide an electric heater to use. ) Food wise, expensive, and not much of a menu especially for children, we went into Chipping Norton ( not far ) and ate cheaper. Drinks also pricey ( a pint of Guiness and Latte £6.90! ) Brekfast was nice and hot, but again not much choice a "full english" was one sausage, one bacon rasher, a tomato and a mushroom. Toast was as thin as paper, this could all be improved on. This however was metioned to the owners who gave us a reduction in the cost of staying. If they pick up on these things this would be a great place to stay, rather than an all right one.

Friendly and helpful staff, good food evening, and breakfast, clean room with tv and tea coffee facilitys, very comfortable. We would reccomend The Bell as a lovely place to stay and be based to explore the lovely surrounding area, also good bus service located outside the Bell.

the staff were very welcoming. The food was excellent. seemed very popular with the locals. Although we didn't take our children it was child friendly.

The music that came up from a speaker in the ceiling of the bar downstairs, it was very loud in our room. It was ok to start with but after a few hours of listening to the thump over our tv at night time it became very annoying.

Nice food and setting, good location

Drunkards in the bar, noise from event held in the hall hired out for the evening (below the hotel rooms)

Staff were very friendly and food was great, Lovely location and will definitely go back soon loved it.

Very pleasurable stay. Friendly staff, excellent food.

Beautifully decorated rooms, very polite staff and situated in a lovely village. Food was also very good.

Ceiling mounted speakers meant that when music was put on for breakfast it travelled into the room and woke us up.

Friendly staff, excellent food, brilliant location very comfortable rooms

The three of us stayed at The Bell Hotel in Charlbury last year and were very pleased with all of our stay. Will definitely book again.
