Reputed to be England’s oldest hotel, dating from 1220, the Old Bell Hotel is serenely located adjacent to the medieval Abbey, in this historic Cotswold town. This beautiful heritage property with a charming walled garden is steeped in character. A recent refurbishment has resulted in all areas being refreshed, renewed and resplendent but, most importantly, retaining the period features, cosy corners and quintessentially English feel of this hidden gem of the Cotswolds. The Hotel has earned a far reaching reputation as one of the finest Cotswolds restaurants thanks to Executive Chef Tom Rains and his team. Classically trained, and with spells working with Anton Mosimann and Marco Pierre White, Tom's well priced menus make fine dining accessible to all. Dishes exploit the wealth of fresh produce available in the Cotswolds, with diverse flavours and textures which reflect the seasons. The Edwardian restaurant is charming, with a focus on fine dining, while the Brasserie offers more casual suppers and lunches. In summer, life spills out onto the terrace and guests are welcome to enjoy a meal in the secluded gardens. Please note, the restaurant is closed on a Sunday and Monday night; the hotel will serve dinner in the brasserie from the brasserie menu.
