The Bell (Hotel)

My wife and I stayed at The Bell Hotel over the Christmas period for about a week. We chose The Bell because of it's great location, dog friendly policies and Christmas Day roast dinner. We were so incredibly happy with the high level of service, attention and general good cheer we received from the staff; they were amazing. The included breakfasts were lovely, and there was always fresh coffee waiting for us (and sometimes a wee sausage for our puppy). Their Christmas day lunch service was everything we could have hoped for. We are glad we booked this in advance, as it was one of the only pubs open for lunch service on Christmas Day in the area. There was a good range of menu options available on this rather unique occasion; with the staff even offering a deli board option for the evening after-hours. We stayed in their 'Stuart House' accommodations just down the road, and they were fabulous. It was very central and always very well maintained, with staff not far away if we needed something. The car parking was ample, and the location to other attractions in The Cotswolds was very central. Thank you to the team at The Bell for making our Christmas so lovely, we will definitely be returning soon!

We stayed at The Bell on Saturday 23rd November whilst visiting friends in Stow. From the moment we walked through the door into the pub, until we left, the staff were welcoming and friendly. The pub is beautiful, roaring wood burner, wood beams and beautifully decorated. Our room was stunning. Wood panelling, decorated in blues and greens. Excellent facilities including a fully stocked mini bar and snacks. Yes you have to pay for them but what a treat. Good selection of free tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits in a cute kilner jar. Lovely bonus of a small carafe of free Port - delicious. |Toilets in the bathroom are divine which you can buy new full bottles from the pub. Breakfast was 1st class. Order from the menu but also have continental laid out. Hubby had the omelette and I had eggs royale - delicious. We loved this pub and could have stayed another night.

Lovely countryside pub. Breakfast great. Staff very welcoming. Rooms clean & tidy. Could do with a few touchups. Bed uncomfortable and pub noisy inc road outside to which I know can’t be changed. But overall nice stay. Cleaner so friendly and attentive.

We went for my friend’s birthday. We had a free room upgrade our rooms were excellent. We stayed a Stuart House. The beds were so comfortable and rooms were decorated to a high standard. We were all well impressed. Toiletries hairdryer hair straightener. Mini bar coffee machine. Papers magazines. Everything to make your stay welcoming. The staff were extremely friendly couldn’t do enough for you. |We booked a table for our evening meal which was all cooked fresh and was excellent couldn’t fault it. We had breakfast in the morning. The choice and quality of the breakfast was excellent. We were all well looked after. And will definitely be staying here again. 10/10 excellent |A big thank you to all at The Bell and Stuart.

We received a warm welcome when checking in and we were given a map to show us where our room was (a couple of mins drive up the road). We even had a private car park that was free. The room was excellent, it was clean and had all the amenities that we needed.|The bed was a hypnos bed, and was extremely comfortable. |We had breakfast at the pub in the morning. We received a warm welcome and breakfast was excellent. There was a good continental choice that we could help ourselves to. I had Eggs Royale and my husband had the full English. Both were hot and cooked to order to a high standard.|Can definitely recommend for anyone looking to stay in Stow-on-the-Wold.

We had an overnight stay here when travelling. The car park only holds 5 cars, but the main village car park is just across the road, and you can leave your car overnight. Our room was upstairs in the pub (a very old building with lots of character) and was small but very comfortable. The noise from the busy pub below was obvious, but it went quiet at around 10.30pm so didn't interfere with sleeping. We had dinner here; a good choice of standard pub fare and both our choices were very nice (there is a wide choice of eateries in the village if you want something special). The breakfast was also good. Every staff member we met was friendly and helpful.

Room very clean and comfortable . Staff were friendly and helpful. Spent evening in the pub, meal was excellent and breakfast the following morning. Only a small number of car parking spaces and as you would expect Stow was extremely busy, so initially had to park a short distance away until a space nearer the pub became available.

This was our second stay at The Bell and once again, it was very enjoyable.||Received a friendly welcome on arrival and the service from all staff was excellent throughout our stay.||The food was very enjoyable - our Sunday roast and full breakfast the following day was delicious. ||Our room (Owl) was spacious enough but still cosy. Nice decor and a very comfortable bed. Slept pretty well although there is occasionally a bit of traffic noise from the road outside. ||Last time we stayed here the shower was ‘underpowered’ and the water not as hot as we’d have liked. No issues on that score during this latest visit though. ||Bit of an issue with our bill on departure but all sorted very quickly and satisfactorily. ||We will certainly return to The Bell again in the future!…
