Room above the inn. There was a karaoke night in the pub. Looked like a lot of locals and it was fun. Very friendly people. Music stopped somewhere between 23:00 and 23:30. No worries.
Inn is located in a small quiet village. Nice to take a walk.
Food in the inn was nice as well. We were the only quests but they still took the time.

Very comfortable. Radiator not working but portable heater provided that heated up room very well on a very cold night. No toilet roll (easy oversight) but nicked roll from adjacent room! Breakfast outstanding! Great place for breaking long journey!

The Bell is a 17th-century inn with a wealth of original fearures and a lovely open fire. However, it was lacking in atmosphere and the evening meal we had was not great and quite expensive too. Our room was comfortable and clean but the heated towel rail wasnt working and bathroom mirror was off the wall. It was also a bit dark and claustophobic as there were permanent shutters over the window. On the plus side, the cooked breakfast was excellent and the host was keen to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is also very pretty and close to Oxford, Blenheim, Witney and the wider cotswolds. It was good value, given its location, but I'm not sure we'd stay there again.
