Review of Old Bell Hotel, Malmesbury October, 2008 I stayed at the Old Bell Inn for two nights, and overall had an enjoyable stay. The hotel is a charming, historic hotel and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The meals were elegantly prepared and very tasty. Dinner on the first night was somewhat spoiled by the presence of a... more

The hotels website seems to suggest a snug boutique style country hotel. They only had standard rooms available so i booked one for the weekend. Pretty expensive but it must be at least pretty good mustnt it? As the other review i just read said, shocking is right! The small room had a damp musty smell, caused by a bad... more

I stayed at The Old Bell for 2 nights and was very disappointed with the room. We opted for the standard room at £135 a night, and I was shocked by the room we were given. Tiny stuffy box room - barely enough room for the suitcases. And to match a tiny bathroom - not particularly clean and a little... more

We booked for a one night stay whilst passing through wiltshire. the hotel is right next to Malmesbury Abbey, and the two make a picture perfect scene.

We had a very disappointing first time visit to this hotel two weekends ago on account of the fact that we were put into a room with minimal soundproofing directly above their function room. The result was our planned relaxing quiet weekend break in the country was in fact a stressed and sleepless saturday night followed by a day when... more

I got a great last minute deal with the hotel for about £80 bed and breakfast with an upgraded room. The hotel is located just next to the Abbey and has been recently rennovated and does not fail to impress. The communal areas are tastefully decorated as are the rooms which have a boutique hotel feel. I stayed in a... more

We booked The Old Bell after checking out the reviews on this site and it exceeding our expectations. We spent three nights on a DBB deal and took our 16 month old son. On our arrival we had been upgraded to a premium room in the original building and a travel cot had been set up and made ready for... more

A perfect location for a romatic or relaxing break! A really lovely hotel, beautifully decorated and the most wonderful food! Will go back as soon as I get some time! more
