The Old Bell Hotel in Malmesbury is one of the most unique and outstanding Cotswold hotels. Reputed to be England’s oldest hotel, the boutique bolthole has an impressive history of exceptional hospitality, dating back to 1220.
Today, The Old Bell’s 34 individually designed bedrooms are brimming with charm, character and comfort. Once you have settled into your spacious luxury room, you can do as much (or as little) as you please! The Old Bell Hotel is just a stone’s throw away from the magnificent Malmesbury Abbey and is close to the renowned Westonbirt National Arboretum. There is also a splendid selection of fisheries, golf courses and National Trust properties nearby.
Fantastic Afternoon Tea. You will need to book, as it is a busy place. My friend has been there several times and suggested going there. Lovely relaxing atmosphere and attentive and friendly service. The chefs pay particular attention to the lovely selection of finger sandwiches, the savoury and sweet parts are worth the detour. For just £30.00 per person. Good, short, selection of teas too. Fantastic. Well done. The restaurant menu looks very interesting too. Will gladly go back.
I booked the library for an afternoon tea/baby shower. The room was set up beautifully on my arrival, and I was able to arrive earlier than the other guests to add my own decorations. The staff were all incredibly helpful and accommodating, and the food was delicious. Everyone had a fantastic afternoon. Thank you to all the staff involved.
Staff were super friendly, they looked happy to serve, even if something wasn’t perfect they owned up quickly and made good. Super impressed with some staffs knowledge about the ornaments and area. They made it feel I had been there years. Regarding the location and rooms. Stunning, clean, quintessentially English (with some twists). Village is filled with so much beauty and friendly people! Food was really nice, my steak was good well. Afternoon tea was pleasant. And they give you wellies to go on the river walk
Just came in for a coffee and cake with family. We received exceptional service from Richard at the bar, very customer focused, and helpful. He even arranged for the chef to create a gluten free, dairy free cake for 1 person! Lovely ambience, great friendly service and well priced. The perfect combination!
Simply adore the Old Bell Hotel. Oldest pub in England with a real sense of history. New owners have invested in renovating and reinvigorating the hotel, but have cleverly blended modern style with the Old Bell's traditional historic features. Worth a trip to see the decor and style. The food, drinks and service all make for a warm and relaxing experience.
