Considered by many to be Tolkeins inspiration for the "Prancing Pony" in Lord of the rings, the Bell Inn is a fine example of a traditional coaching Inn set in the historic Cotswolds. Having been taken over in June 2015, the pub and guest rooms are in safe hands and offer great service and quality accommodation. The pub offers meals a great selection of food, including lunches and evening meals which compliment the wide range of drinks including a selection of real ales. On a sunny day why not sit in the beer garden and soak up the sunshine in peaceful surroundings.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for two nights in early November. We were there to visit the Cotswolds, and this location made a good homebase. We found this hotel to be quaint, comfortable, clean, and affordable. Our room was huge and clean, and the Restaurant/pub was inviting, warm, and served good food at a reasonable price. We would definitely recommend and would stay here again where we ever to return to this area.

Wonderful stay in The Hayloft at The Bell Inn. We were welcomed warmly by the team and were impressed with the amenities and modern en suite bathroom. Lovely to have kettle and coffee maker in room. The owner runs an excellent pub and a top notch lodging option. We were especially impressed with the cook to order breakfast each morning. If you aren’t staying in Moreton in Marsh, at least stop in for a pint - it’s a great place!

We attended this fabulous place to try one of the recommended Sunday lunches and cask ales, and wanted to know what the whole hoohar was about. It did not disappoint! The lady we were greeted by (lady had long red hair) was so accommodating and so kind and friendly, she had an answer for everything that we asked about the pub itself and the area (we asked lots of questions). The food was out of this world, great portions and the cask ale was so smooth and tasty. My friend had the sea bass and that was exquisite. We will definitely be back to The Bell Inn, also recommending it, and you should be proud to have such knowledgeable, welcoming members of staff. Highly recommended.

Really lovely pub with a great history. Tolkien visited here a lot and they have a plaque outside and some nice pictures inside. The team were so welcoming and friendly. Not the biggest menu but great for a lunch stop with a story! Thanks everyone!

The Bell is in Moreton-in-Marsh's High Street, a convenient location for a wander around the small town. It is basically a pub with rooms which overlook the courtyard, ours accessed by an outside staircase. Our room was spacious, with an en suite. The shower was excellent, with plenty of hot water, the towels big and fluffy. There were soap and shampoo dispensers. The bed was fairly comfortable. Our room was clearly over the kitchen, as at 8.00am a loud roar set up, presumably from the extractor fan, and continued until about 10-11pm, so lie-ins and early nights would be tricky. There was tea and coffee plus biscuits- a nice addition, however I'd have appreciated a small fridge for the medication I must take first thing every morning, rather than having to trek down to the kitchen to request it from their fridge. The proprietors were obliging and affable. Breakfast was served in the bar. We'd have liked to have been able to serve ourselves coffee and it would have been nice to have fresh fruit alongside the cereal, yoghurt and dried fruit. The hot food was modest in quantity but well cooked and the toast was on the stingy side- a request for extra did not get results. We had one evening meal [fish and chips] which was very good, from a basic pub menu. The bar tended to be a bit draughty in the evenings. As well as the courtyard there is a large garden to the rear, although it seems little used. All in all there is much to like about The Bell Inn but with a few basic additions [fridges, fruit at breakfast] it would be really great.…

The courtyard was dirty, with broken chairs and glass on the floor. Bar staff polite. Food serving staff surly and reluctant to give menu. She said she wasn't sure what food was available or if they were serving. No food service at 7:15pm

Stopped here for lunch on journey further into the Cotswolds, a great selection of ales and drinks. The service was excellent and the welcome we had was great when we arrived. We had a table for 4 people and the food we had was very good and reasonably priced. I had a fish finger sandwich which was very nice and beautifully presented. They were very good towards allowing dogs inside the inn as well.

We stopped here because we are keen Tolkien fans and as stated it inspired the Inn of the Prancing Pony from Lord of the Rings. Quaint little pub but little explaining why or how the place was linked to Tolkien. We ordered a pint, so we could cheesily say "It comes in pints?!" Worth a pit stop, thankfully not a ring wraith in sight.

Stayed here while visiting the Cotswolds. Convenient from London and a great base for walks or excursions to other town. Staff went out of their way every day to make sure we had a pleasant stay. Close to walking trails and roads or buses to other towns.
