The Bell Inn

Enjoyed a comfortable at The Bell Inn.Very Olde Worlde. We had breakfadt and an evening meal on our two night stay. The food and produce used were excellent and the breakfast really was plentiful and first class. The Landlord seemed to wear several different hats and was most welcoming and polite in everything he did. We found the room, although dated, very clean and hygienic. We would not hesitate to stay again bext time qe are that way on.The only downside was the BLOODY SCAFFOLDING.

Nice room with a comfortable bed.Breakfast was excellent with locally sourced ingredients.

Lovely small villgae pub with compact but really comfortable rooms. Great access to Oxford without being in the centre of it. Great breakfast.

Absolutely great stay staff wonderful and room perfect

Very friendly, great service, good location

Beautiful local pub set within a picturesque village. Friendly staff great price and breakfast. Would highly recommend !

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

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!

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

Lovely stay at The Bell in Ducklington

Great stay in a beautiful country pub

Quaint, friendly & ideal for solo travelers

Amazing little get away. Comfortable room. Welcomed on our arrival was very warm and friendly. The food and pub was excellent. We travelled with a child who was entertained by a number of games. The staff and locals were all welcoming and more than happy to have us to stay. We had to leave before normal breakfast time and they happily opened breakfast early by a whole hour. We will return.

Clean and suitable for a quick stay. Very friendly and helpful reception staff- lovely to be greeted to warmly . And - Was provided with a bottle of fresh milk for tea which has not happened anywhere else. Husband found breakfast very tasty and well cooked . Basic in some respects - quite small - so just a rail for clothes and had to ask for hairdryer. But - shower very clean ( no bath). I found the bed very comfy but husband found it too hard . Definitely worth the price.

Clean and  Good value

Parking at hotel is limited so had to be on the main village street that was generally quite quiet.
Reception at bar were expecting us and quickly shown room upstairs from the outside stairway. Room was quite pleasant with nice amenities.
As restaurant was closing had to make our way there quite quickly before getting our suitcases in. (see separate review for food).

Disturbed at midnight by fire alarm but just as about to go out of room alarm silenced and panic over (chef apologised at breakfast as cause was unknown).
Good choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juice plus choice of cooked breakfast.
Service not quick but in no hurry and food was hot and tasty

Bed and Breakfast

This was my second stay at The Bell and unfortunately my room was not as clean this time as during my first stay.  There were some tea/coffee marks near the tea/coffee area. Behind the drawer cabinet  and also the wall side of the bed needed hoovering.  But the room was still pleasant and comfortable.  The breakfast was fine and all staff were polite and friendly.  Location is perfect for an overnight stay near the A40 before continuing your journey the next day. Ducklington is very pretty, worth an evening stroll.

No on-site parking available. Only place available was on the road which is fairly narrow, near village duck pond.Room was OK but a bit tight for 3 people. Heating was not working throughout the pub, restaurant and bedrooms. But there was a small electric heater in the bedroom. Bathroom was too cold to take a shower. At dinner, one of our drinking glasses still had lipstick on the rim even though it had been washed. The "waiter" changed it and apologised. We discovered at 10.30 pm that a glass in the bedroom also had lipstick on it but too late to change. Evening meal was OK, so too was  breakfast. Overall an *ok* stay.

Would I stay again? Probably!

Stayed over 1 night to avoid driving back to Leicester in the dark after spending the day with family in Witney and Ducklington. Very friendly and welcoming. Lovely fire in the bar. Comfortable bed. Breakfast was very nice, and appreciated before our drive home to Leicester. Recommend both the pub and for overnight accommodation. Thank you

The friendliest place I've ever stayed. The welcome was genuine, we sat in the bar and within a short space of time, felt that we were at home with friends. Andy and the staff were wonderful and made our stay even better than we could have expected. The food was lovely good hearty pub grub with a real touch of class, breakfast was so good we didn't need dinner. I cannot recommend the stay highly enough. A fantastic location almost centrally between the cotswolds and Oxford. If you like warm and friendly you must try it.
