Everything. Brilliant food, service and surroundings.
Would have liked to have able to get a hot breakfast with two minutes until it finished but otherwise nothing.

Amazing food, lovely room and very pretty village
We were in a room above the restaurant so was a bit noisy. Also the towel rail on all night with no obvious switch so very toasty

Location and property
Being charged for a cooked breakfast. The booking was made with breakfast included. The only 'free' breakfast was a continental type breakfast which is not what we like. There was no mention when booking or on arrival that a cooked breakfast would have to be paid for.
Also, evening meal and drinks could not be booked against the room until check out, felt pressurised to pay.

The pub was nice and olde world, the room was clean and well appointed…
On booking dot com. I was told that the restaurant was busy and to book a reservation, which I did by replying to booking . Com
When we went to the restaurant in the evening there was no reservation…..according to the restaurant staff they were nothing to do with the Bell Inn and we should have made a reservation with the restaurant itself…
This was a first for me I have never heard of such a ridiculous situation before…
I then went to the bar to get a drink paid with cash and was told there was not enough change to give me!!!!
And could I pay by card, which I declined, the barmaid got very annoyed and went to find some change when I received it it was crumpled up and shoved very unceremoniously into my hand…
As luck would have it a cancellation miraculously appeared and we ate in the restaurant….there was also no mention of a continental breakfast, and we had to pay extra for a cooked breakfast…

Beautiful place. Beautiful village. Beautiful room
States breakfast is included but you have to pay for full english breakfast. What you actually get is cereal. Yoghurt. Fruit bread and toaster. Tea and coffee. Very misleading as listing states breakfast included

Lovely building . Staff in restaurant we very good. Food was really nice. . Great setting in middle of small quiet village.
For us the bed and pillows were hard.
7.0 / 10.0
Lunch and evening meals were excellent as was the very friendly server (had a great beard by the way).
Breakfast was lacklustre and items were not replenished as they ran out. Very disappointed that there was no cooked option even though it is listed on their website.
Got smoked out of breakfast when the woodburner wasn't operated correctly. More worrying was the staffs lack of knowledge on what to when the smoke/fire alarm was blaring away.

Nice location, cosy and pleasant staff
Booked a room with breakfast on Booking.com. Advised at breakfast that if we wanted a cooked breakfast this was extra. No mention of this on Booking.com or the website of the hotel. Disappointing
10.0 / 10.0
Amazing stay! The room was high quality & warm. The bed very comfortable. Tea and coffee availble in the room, aswell as bathrobes and such. Highly recomment for a nice, cosy fall getaway! Parking is on-site
Our room was above the restaurant. It closed early, around 22u so we did not have any noise from it while going to bed luckily! But if you're an early sleeper or the restaurant would be open later, be aware or check before making a reservation ;-)

The food was amazing and the pub was very warm and welcoming and the rooms were tastefully decorated and very clean
Some of the seating were to close together

Authentic “Cotswold” type farmhouse property, situated in a picturesque village.
Lack of parking on the property, had to park on the street, some 100 meters away from the room.
A “Continental breakfast” was not specified, and we were looking forward to an English style meal. We were told that the kitchen had maintenance problems, but these lasted only during breakfast time, as the evening and lunch meals were unaffected. The evening staff were friendly and attentive.

I dont really want to tell you because i want to be able to get a room when i need one but crikey, this place is absolutely divine. The atmosphere is incredible. Why do so many places get it wrong when this place seems to get it right so effortlessly. Stone floors, open fires so you can smell the wood burning, candles, low lighting, beautiful food, fantastic service.
If you want a cooked breakfast you have to pay extra, which i did and it was worth every penny.

Clean and cosy.
Dinner was unacceptable and breakfast limited to continental (apparently no chef for breakfast by one version, the kitchen being renovated according to another staff member).

The staff were all very courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. The peaceful village location was a plus. The restaurant menu was unusual but the quality and presentation fantastic.
I had not prepared for the few mosquitos buzzing around the room.

Lovely, country location. In a pretty village. Helpful friendly staff. Food delicious.
Room on the small size. So quite hot and stuffy in there. The hotel did provide a fan.

A beautiful property with old charm but with modern food and a twist!
The room was VERY hot and there isn’t any air con, however, it’s the summer and it’s hot everywhere so not a fault of the pubs.

Friendly and efficient no-fuss check-in. Room was clean, private and bed was very comfortable, lovely bath products provided. Some noise as the inn runs till 23.00 ish but all quiet after that. Delicious food for dinner (you need to book separately) as well as breakfast (yoghurt, bread and cornflakes provided, cooked breakfast at additional cost)
Room we stayed in had low beams - slight hazard for bumping heads!

We loved the cross between capturing the character of the property and the modern take. The room was very clean and felt comfortable.
If I had to be really picky, the curtains let light in, in the morning, which woke us up. Apart from that, nothing!
7.0 / 10.0
We liked the style and space of the bedroom and character of the inn. Room was quiet despite being near the outdoor seating area.
Only continental breakfast was included in the price. And choice was limited - no pastries or cheese/cured meat options.
Lots of pillows - but all the same thickness - would have liked a choice.
