The Bell Inn sits proudly on the periphery of Stow-on-the-wold, one of the gems in the Cotswolds. Steeped in history, the town is the perfect location from which to explore both the stunning countryside and charming towns around every corner. The Inn is approximately 350 years old; we aim to provide the very best in offering great food and premium service at the Inn but take great care not to dilute any of its ancient characters. With fourteen beautifully decorated en suite bedrooms, we consider ourselves one of the leading Inns in the Cotswolds. The Inn boasts a rare front garden/terrace which is the perfect place to relax in Summer with a glass of rosé or you can sit by our log burner and warm up in the Winter with a pint or Young's ale.
