Party of 10. They gave us a private area. Food excellent, good beer, lovely staff. Couldn't be better!
We stay at The Bell Inn every year; superb food and drink, excellent staff, dog friendly stays and lots of great walks into the Cotswolds nearby. Really couldn't recommend it highly enough. A real gem.
Excellent pub with really friendly staff and delicious food. Gorgeous location. We had a great time and will be back, thank you!
We had a wonderful Sunday lunch here so wholeheartedly recommend the place. Food was up there and special mention goes to the staff...10 out of 10 friendly and efficient. Coming back.,.
Very cosy and well appointed room (Dovecot) breakfast was delicious and the views are typical Cotswold beauty. We loved Maya the ridgeback keeping us company for breakfast
We had Christmas lunch at the Bell Inn with friends. The restaurant was a very nice space and not too noisy so you could easily chat over lunch. It also has a fabulous view across the valley. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.
We wanted somewhere special for our daughter's 40th birthday and The Bell gave us just that. We started the evening with drinks outside so that we could enjoy the spectaular views and then we had private dining in their cosy private room called The Snook. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners and staff and they really made the evening special. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening.
A real Gem!! Pretty cosy room, delicious food, exceptional service!! Special thanks to Justina and Mark !! We will most definitely be back!!
It's not often you find something faultless! V nice rooms. Well kept beer. Top food and wine for all three courses with a great menu. Great breaky with even the marmalade being home made! Selsley common is a fantastic place for walking with views on the cotswold way.
A beautiful pub, and a beautiful view. I had a delicious evening meal for the most part, sadly my beautifully presented pork was a little over cooked and didn’t deliver so much.. Starter excellent. My glass of ‘native’ red wine was possibly past its best. Very comfortable overnight stay, very clean and a super shower. All you need is available as well as crisp towelling. I would just say the extractor on the roof from the kitchen made the room smell a little, fish when I arrived and onions in the morning. It’s a small place and I understand so no worries, just a shame. Lovely customers and families from early evening looking for a meal and some drinks inside and out. Very good breakfast. Recommended.
Housed in a stone-built, 16th-century building surrounded by countryside, this quaint inn is 2 miles from the lake and museum at Stratford Park, and 3 miles from the hilltop grasslands at Coaley Peak.
