    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.

    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!

    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    poor service

    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 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.

    well-appointed room
    exceptional breakfast
    historic charm
    minor connectivity issues
    peak hour interruptions

    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
    room maintenance
    temperature control

    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!!!
