The Bell (Hotel)

Ben and the whole team were so welcoming right from the off... we had such a great time, we even extended by another night as we just didn't want to leave! The room was spotlessly clean and it was clear there was so much thought put into the details - including a lovely bed, bowls and hamper for the dog. We ate at the pub twice during our three night stay and had breakfast each morning, and I have to say the quality and options available were fantastic. Thanks so much again! This really felt like a home away from home.

Had a lovely one night stay here as we were at a dinner locally and it was too long a drive home to Bristol. We had a room in Stuart house, which was lovely, really nicely done. Lovely comfy bed, all the amenities including Nespresso machine (praise be), lovely en-suite. Would happily stay again. Didn’t have dinner at The Bell, but the breakfast there was excellent in quality and quantity. Recommend.

Absolutely faultless stay at The Bell. From the moment we arrived, the team couldn’t have been more welcoming or accommodating. We were kindly upgraded on arrival, which felt really special and set the tone for the whole stay.||Everything was completely seamless. The room was lovely, spotless, and very comfortable, and breakfast the next morning was superb. I went off menu and the staff were more than happy to accommodate without any fuss at all.||I genuinely couldn’t recommend this hotel more — it’s a must-visit. The Bell is set in a beautiful village too, which just adds to the charm. We’ll absolutely be back.

Lovely pub with cosy rooms for a reasonable price. I had the smallest room but it was perfect for 1 person. Shower was good and it had plenty of amenities for a small space. Watch the snacks as they are not complementary and you need to read the booklet to find that out and see the prices. Breakfast was good and checkout wasn’t till 11 so no rush in the morning. Did have to park in the pay and display over the road but it was too expensive as you only pay for the chargeable hours during the day. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Lovely colour scheme in room, very modern. Double room. Was however small with.no storage space. The shower door caught the bedroom door when opening as it was a tight fit for opening, a sliding door would work better. Room needs a long mirror which could be placed on the one wall where there was only one small picture. No complimentary biscuits which is fairly standard now in most hotel rooms. Breakfast was nice and freshly cooked. Parking was good at stuart house although tight access. Great central location.

4th visit taking advantage of 2 nights for 1. Have stayed above The Bell, twice ground floor at Stuart House and this time upstairs at Stuart House. Probably won't stay upstairs again. Stairs are narrow and steep. Room ok but just a few niggles. Toilet seat needs replacing as slightly broken and moves around. Front door key was difficult to use and I had to enter via car park. Room was too warm at night and window doesn't open. Broken biscuit on arrival was a bit weird covered in cellophane. Easier to supply a biscuit in a packet. The small bottle of port was very welcome as always. Stow is still a nice place to stay and no doubt I will return.

Fantastic cosy character stay for Christmas in lovely pub for group of three of us. Good food and drink - served with grace despite the hectic time of year - where keeping things good must be hard. Location also magical at that time of year. ||Lovely room, and great service on the accomodation side too. Only really negative about the room would be the shower pressure - but I believe they were having that looked into.

We stayed in one of the cosy rooms in Stuart house. It was a chr gift for me and my husband. I am in my 60’s and my husband is nearly 80! First of all we had to go to the bell inn to check in which they say is a 4 minute stroll from Stuart house. Maybe if you’re Mo Farah but it took me atleast 10 minutes walking at a decent pace. Once we had our room key informed we were on the first floor, we entered the building to be faced with a staircase that should come with a health warning. It was narrow, very steep and winding. I struggled to get up with a small case so if you had a large heavy one best of luck as it’s lethal. The room itself was small but the bathroom was big but nowhere to put your toiletries. The toilet seat moved when you sat on it as broken. The cups were only big enough for a mouthful of liquid. Mugs would have been better. The bag was too small for the waste bin and lastly we were frightened to use anything in case we got charged for it as there was a long list of items with their prices including a mini bar and toiletries. All told it was a disappointing stay and wouldn’t go back.
