Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great place to stay. We had a 2 night break in late Nov '23. We are a couple in our late 50's. Can't rate it highly enough. Great accommodation, the bed and pillows were some of the best we'd slept in, so much so we...asked who made them. We were on B&B basis and really enjoyed the breakfast. What I call a proper English in that all the bases are covered and cooked to perfection and not swimming in fat/oil. Crusty bread toast too. Didn't have evening meals here as we were meeting family for pre-arranged food elsewhere. Big shout out to Ben and the rest of the staff who were personable and attentive without being over the top! I've visited Chipping Camden many times over the years, it's pretty iconic, especially if you don't come from those parts. A great base for exploring the rest of The Costwolds.More

Dinner was lovely, really tasty food. Unfortunately the room, number 6, was not. The room and bed are fine, however, the bathroom is just not fit for purpose. It’s feels like the shower and toilet have been squeezed into a space that should be a...wardrobe. You can’t open the shower door all the way as the bathroom is so small the door hits the toilet. The showers water pressure is also non existent and does not stay at a consistent temperature. Luckily for us we had family members staying in room 7 so we would use their shower.More

We were visiting The Cotswolds from Australia and wanted to enjoy a Sunday roast. We called in around 11 in the morning and made a booking for 2.30 that afternoon. We could not have picked a better pub. The fire was on, it was cosy...and a great atmosphere. Most importantly the staff were so friendly making us feel so welcome. The Sunday roast? Amazing, 10/10. Don’t drive by this place.More

The 8 bells is a gem of a pub. We had a perfect table by the fire, the waiters and waitresses were attentive and couldn’t be more helpful. The pub was packed but the food arrived quickly and was delicious. I had the steak which...was lovely. The one criticism is that it would have been helpful is to have a steak knife with my steak. We had such a fun evening and would definitely recommend and definitely go back again.More

Had a lovely evening meal at the Eight bells on a quiet Tuesday .This was our second visit as we’d been impressed previously The pub has a lovely ambience with warming open fires and mellow stone interior. Very friendly welcome on arrival, great choices on...the menu including a delicious pheasant dish and super-tasty linguine (our choices) Great choice of nice ales and the house Shiraz (16 stops from mclaren vale) was about the best house wine I’ve tasted. We were looked after by Gemma who was absolutely great- friendly and right on top of things without “overdoing it” Great place, food and staff…can’t wait to visit again.More

Had a lovely lunch here, my son and I. The waiting staff were particularly friendly and nice. We both braved the burger which, while great tasting, was a chaotic experience to eat: miles high, leaky, and intent on collapse. Better than it sounds though the...chips were a bit greasy. Luckily we knew each other, and ordered an extra napkin.More

We stayed 3 nights near. Quaint historical small Inn in heart of village. Room was upstairs at back of hotel. Very clean, comfortable and modern smallish room and ensuite. Had an excellent dinner and the breakfast is very good too. Parking can be an issue...as not provided. Need to talk to owners beforehand to get advice. Chipping Campden we think, is one of the best villages in Cotswolds.More

Thanks Marie for great dinner! If you need a nice place for dinner and it’s a bit later in the evening, this is the place. Good food, nice people and very reasonable pricing. I was able to email the restaurant to get a reservation. Marie...got right back to me with the times she had available. Great to see a restaurant that wants to do right by their customers.More

We dined here on our second night in Chipping Campden and had booked in advance. We had a lovely table in the window and the restaurant was nice and full. We passed on starters in anticipation of having a pudding. I had the chicken katsu...and my partner the fish and chips. Both were lovely and plentiful portions. For dessert we polished off a sticky toffee and a chocolate brownie. Both delicious! We shared a bottle of the Pinot rose, it was nice but not as nice as the one we’d had at michaels the night before and £6 more. The service was good throughout and the staff are friendly and chatty. We had a lovely evening and I would highly recommend.More

Sunday roast was an utter disappointment. We had high expectations given it is a popular place and quaint pub. For £19+ I received 2 very small pieces of pork (quite fatty and totally tasteless) 2 or 3 pieces of potatoes (which stuck to my teeth...as they seemed having been cooked and reheated possibly more then once), 1 piece if parnsnip (which was unrecognisable, all dried out) and what it seemed like cabbage (very small amount, drawn in a gravy sauce) my partner got a Yorkshire pudding with his beef roast I was told that it would be an extra pound for my pork roast (??!) once I received the dish (no mention of it on the menu or I may have missed it as one assume a traditional Sunday roast of that price comes with the Yorkshire pudding). Staff were professional and accommodating but sadly we won’t return.More

re Prosecco - yes, it's in the mini-bottles, so 'more than a glass' for sure! its very competitively priced and is an excellent brand. it equates to approx £5.50/glass so £8 for a glass and a half is great value. served... More
