Great location great staff lovely rooms great food
I was very impressed with the size of room. The room was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. The food in the pub was great quality and good price.
lovely stay in a self catering apartment, well equipped with every thing you require.
A well stocked shop 2 doors away.
room was very quiet even though it was above the pub.
i would stay here again.
host were very polite and got us checked in quickly.
Absolutely amazing stay at the Bell.
From the moment we arrived, we were treated with kindness and professionalism.
The room was cosy, but completely adequate overlooking the green.
I have to extend a massive thank you to the kitchen staff who cooked us the amazing meal.( my steak was cooked just perfect!)
Reasonably nice room with adequate bathroom at a rural site outside Gloucester. Its restaurant was decent. Lots of free parking! Room was very hot, though, and no fan, making sleeping there difficult (kept waking up sweating).
Very good facilities. Everything you could want in the room. All packed into a neat box.
The area is lovely and the staff were so accommodating to us. Reccomdended!

This little inn is in a beautiful village with lots of historical buildings including this one
Generally speaking it was above average inn
The only problem was the room I had had a very noisy fridge that I was unable to switch off which woke me every 2 hours so be warned
The restaurant was lovely and the food good value for money a s the staff were polite and helpful
Had an overnight stay here recently and enjoyed it. Plenty of towels, couple of bottles of water in the fridge, good tea/coffee facilities. Shower was very good. Light sleepers may be affected by cars leaving the venue via the gravel car park and the in-room fridge switching on during the night. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good selection of beers to choose from and an option to have dinner there. Separate entrance/exit from the pub entrances, very useful indeed. I would stay here again
A really nice suite with it's own kitchen. The building is old and creaks a bit but is in good condition. The suite we had was close to the extract fan for the kitchen which was noisy until it shut down just after 9 pm to allow a peaceful night.
Rooms are great. Unfortunately you will hear the bass from the music that comes from the kitchen all day till 930-10pm when they go home

Stayed here for a wedding, room was small but clean. You could feel the bed springs on your back when you laid down and the bed was a bit small.
Understood they had breakfast included, but they don't serve breakfast.
Staff was lovely and very accommodating.
This was a fine hotel for the UK with a small bedroom (which is normal) and a good sized shower (which is not normal). It was very nice to have a mini fridge and kettle with cups, plates and silverware. We ate in the restaurant downstairs which was fine. When we were ready to check out, no one was around so we just left our keys in the room. Hope that was ok.

Great but would have like a room away from the kit
Nice clean room. Great value food in the pub. Excellent position.
Although difficult to fix the kitchen fan was right outside our room. It was switched off at 9:00pm which was excellent but it was winter so we were in the room from 5:00 to 9:00pm apart from eating. The fans are intrusively loud. That knocked the comfort score down a bit.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Really nice area and conviently located close to the wedding venue we were going to. Price was also reasonable.
Main issue was that the shower did not work. The tap to adjust the heat was broken so it only gave freezing cold water. Luckily we were headed home so just decided to shower when we got back.
There were also a few black hairs around the room. The matress wasnt that comfortable but the pillows seemed to be new and were decent. The room itself and the facilities were good enough.
For 1 night and for the price it would have been completely adequate if the shower had worked.
The only issue we had was the radiator in the living are was jammed on full. We spoke to a member of staff who immediately came to our room to see if he could sort it out. He could not but said he would report this to maintenance the next day.
Our stay was excellent - the accommodation is spacious and comfortable, the food was excellent, the service by all the staff was excellent and the location is very close to WWT Slimbridge - the purpose of our visit. We will look forward to our next visit.
Large spacious room, very comfortable with great views of the village green. Lots of parking. Bathroom was spotless.
Well stocked with tea, coffee and continental breakfast items (The Bell currently doesn’t offer a cooked breakfast). The pub restaurant was epic - fantastic menu with additional ‘specials’ and great desserts. Obviously popular with locals and repeat diners. The pub bar was friendly and a good range of ales on tap.
Service was superb throughout and I’d recommend The Bell unreservedly.
Points to consider; pay upfront or on the night if your stay if you want an early exit! No staff on site until 10:00am. No fry up! Apart from that, what’s not to like?!
One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in total value for money and to have your own kitchen and facility’s
Highly recommend
Food was excellent and the service
