Great stay in a beautiful country pub
Lovely country pub with great staff and friendly locals. Room was basic but clean with really comfortable beds and had a great sleep. We stayed on a Friday night and didn’t hear any noise after 11pm. Lovely outside space where the local's was playing games. Side access so we didn’t have to go through the pub every time we came and went. Best part of the stay was the breakfast, very good quality and cooked so well it was one of the nicest full English I’ve ever had.bottles of water and toiletries in room was an added bonus I would definitely return again

The bedroom was neat, clean and well serviced. The staff were friendly and helpful, the meal was generous and tasty but the condition of the carpetted area in the dining room was very dirty and smelly and the outside area had a neglected look.

Quaint, friendly & ideal for solo travelers
There was everything to like about The Bell Inn, especially its location across from a scenic and rapidly moving river. The room was small but definitely adequate for a solo traveler. I worried needlessly about having a shared bath because it was just steps from the room and always available. The pub below the guest rooms served a variety of tasty food, especially top-notch fish & chips. Plus, there was very talented LIVE musician on Saturday night who also guided karaoke time. It ended at 11, so no late night noise. Overall, there is definitely a fun family vibe here. I was surprised to see many recreational vehicles/campers parked in a large area behind the inn, expecting that to be a problem. It certainly was not. In fact, those guests were polite, respectful, and quite enjoyable. If you're looking for something terrific instead of a chain hotel - and want the experience of interacting with local people - The Bell Inn is definitely the place to be. I am sooo glad I chose it!

Nice old building in a lovely little village. Not very good transport links 😕 tried to get taxi to train station unable to get one. Breakfast was amazing compliments to the chef. Would have liked a fridge in room. But no complaints at all really. Good value for money.

Lovely property and superb breakfast. The staff were all friendly & totally amenable. The only strange thing is that even though the rooms were cleaned daily - the shower gels & loo paper weren’t replenished!!?

It was okay
There is limited parking so just be aware. Room was comfortable but not as clean as it should have been. There was lots of dust. There was also hair in the bathroom. There were toiletries. The bedroom was basic but comfortable. Kettle with tea and biscuits was a nice touch. Room is over pub you can hear people talking but kick out is at 11 and it’s quiet from then. Breakfast in the morning was good cold buffet with cereals and fruit plus a full English option.

We visit Witney 2 or 3 times a year but this was our first stay at the Bell Inn. Located in very pretty and peaceful countryside. Everyone was very friendly and we enjoyed the stay very much. Room was very clean and tidy as was the bathroom. Great trip
