The hotel stands out due to its historical charm, nestled right next to a 12th Century Abbey and featuring a mix of architecture spanning centuries, including a striking hooded stone fireplace in the dining area. The well-maintained garden and stone patio outside offer a nice retreat to relax in the fresh air.

The setup of some rooms in the annex facing the car park can be a drawback, as external noise from gathering guests can disrupt sleep, especially for early birds. the lighting inside the Cozy Double Room felt subdued, and shower controls posed a bit of a challenge with small instructions that required glasses to read, which certainly isn’t ideal when juggling a hot water setup. The breakfast selection might leave something to be desired, as the cold buffet felt minimal and lacked variety—definitely could use some improvement.

The staff were incredibly attentive and cheerful, making us feel welcomed.

The room was uncomfortably hot due to a lack of air-conditioning, making it hard to sleep.

Consider asking for a late checkout to fully enjoy the breakfast and lounge areas without rush.

Beautiful old hotel ambiance

The breakfast was a feast for the senses, featuring freshly made pastries and perfectly poached eggs! The cozy vibe of the dining area and attentive staff added to the experience. Plus, they're vegan-friendly, which deserves a shout-out!

Had a fantastic time with friends! We enjoyed exploring the stunning Westonbirt Arboretum and even tried paddle boarding at the Cotswold Water Park. The hotel was cozy with friendly staff and a delicious breakfast. Don't miss out on the lovely walks right outside your door.

The service could be improved, as we faced delays while trying to order snacks in the bar area, which made us feel undervalued as guests.

The quirky room decor was fun while the drawers were too stiff to open easily.

Can't recommend highly enough for a short visit.

Comfortable bed, fantastic shower, the breakfast was great and the peaceful surroundings allowed for a delightful stay, with convenient free parking making exploring the area a breeze.

Couldn't stay longer.

great experience but room could be improved

The staff provided exceptional service, going out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The decor's creativity made our time here visually delightful and unique.

The room lacked some modern amenities.

Charming Stay with Beautiful Views

I had a wonderful experience in the cozy double room, enjoying the picturesque view right from my window. The staff were attentive but could improve their service speed. Make sure to reserve a table in advance, especially during busy periods, to enhance your dining experience.

i recently stayed here during a lovely trip to malmesbury and found the atmosphere truly captivating. the room was a cozy double in the coach house, offering a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. i particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast, with perfectly poached eggs and fresh pastries.

the shower had inconsistent water pressure.

an enchanting stay with welcoming staff and charming fireplaces

Wonderful staff and gorgeous ambiance.

Charming atmosphere with cozy rooms full of historic character. Breakfast had perfectly cooked eggs but the shower had inconsistent water pressure.

My recent stay at the Bell was both enjoyable and productive. The room I stayed in was well-appointed and offered a perfect blend of historical charm and contemporary comfort, which created a conducive atmosphere for work. The breakfast was exceptional, featuring freshly made pastries and quality coffee, setting a positive tone for my day.

I experienced minor inconsistency with the Wi-Fi connectivity during peak hours.

Cozy Double Room, Coach House, outdoor terrace for drinks, preservation of historical features

Consider upgrading the room maintenance standards!!! The lack of proper temperature control in rooms is disappointing and really detracted from the stay. Management should focus on better event handling for a more enjoyable guest experience!!!
