About The Bell Inn
Each of the eleven rooms at The Bell Inn comes with an en-suite bathroom and drinks provided, giving guests a straightforward, comfortable base after a day exploring the Cotswolds. The look is traditional pub-inn rather than boutique, in keeping with the building's character on Church Street in Chipping Norton.
Downstairs, the restaurant and bar serve as the heart of the property, with breakfast included and a proper pub atmosphere for evening meals or a quiet drink. There's a garden for warmer days, plus practical extras such as 24 hour reception, laundry service, luggage storage and meeting rooms for those combining business with a stay. Free on-site parking makes arriving by car easy.
The surrounding area suits walkers and cyclists, with routes through the Cotswolds on the doorstep, and further pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby for those who fancy venturing beyond the inn itself. It's a fitting base for anyone wanting a no-frills, well-located stay in Chipping Norton.
