Expedia and Google say the hotel has AC however it does not! Bed was firm, we had a small rotating fan, and frankly it was difficult to sleep. Large bathtub, but no standing shower.
Overall cute little place, but far away from frequent bus stops if traveling to Oxford and the lack of AC, although other sites say it has it, were the biggest letdowns.
Nice bar scene in the evening though! Staff was friendly and food and drinks were on point!
Nice stay at the Bell, the manager Ashley was really helpful & friendly. The other staff were also friendly.
Restaurant & pub were very nice & we enjoyed a lovely meal on the Friday evening.
The rooms we had were pleasant and comfortable however we were unaware that you needed to state a preference to having either a bath or a shower.
If we’d been there for a relaxing weekend then the bath would have been lovely however we were staying for the Grand Prix and would have preferred a shower for quickness. Would have benefited from a small fridge in the room.
Because we were out very early we opted for the continental breakfast, this was satisfactory but not amazing. However on the Sunday morning we did have the full English breakfast which was very nice.
There was plenty of parking.
We will definitely use this hotel again.
Lovely place and staff, couldn't be more helpfull, room was lovely and clean, only one problem was with me not the room, im 6 ft tall and banged my head a few times on the roof😊 made our Silverstone weekend more special.
We had a very enjoyable stay.The room was very well furnished & clean. Ashley was a perfect host & the menu varied & food delicious. Would highly recommend

We turned up very late so the guy working there was really helpful in getting us set up.
The room was nice enough and you can see what they’re going for but the aesthetic choices they’ve made are detrimental to usefulness. The ornate bath on 4 legs and shower fittings look nice but your choices are either shower sat down or get water all over the place.
It seems like a lot of people choose the second option as unfortunately there is a bit of a musty damp smell and the lack of ventilation in the bathroom means the moisture can only go into the room so there was quite a lot of mould in the room we were in, especially around the windows and a bit on the ceiling.
Breakfast was really good, great general spread and then the cooked food was really good.

The weather made us have a drink outside before settling in for our pre booked table
Its not the BELL's fault but having loud lorry's working within the field across the road throughout the night doesn't help a good night sleep ....(this wont be for ever so don't let this put you off your stay here)
I stayed a couple of nights and especially enjoyed my upstairs room with a nice view across the fields and road. It was pretty quiet altho the inn is right on the small road as others have mentioned. Mostly traffic around here time people come and go to work. Dinners were good. The managers are pleasant. Did not have breakfast so can't comment. The continental part was unexciting. I is convenient to Blenheim Park and Palace. IT is an historic building so all the rooms are different and a little querky.
The food, the team & the rooms are always at the same high standard. Would highly recommend.

Room was not clean, razor left in shower, vape pot by bedside etc.
shower control unusable without male assistance!
Staff apologetic etc, and helpful, but dissappointing
In the middle of nowhere, but only 10 minutes from the nearest park and ride into Oxford. A few extra minutes takes you to Bicster shopping village. After you are all shopped out The Bell wil serve you a nice pint and a very good dinner.
Great staff for the bar, restaurant and rooms make this a lovely place to stay. Food always very good and breakfast cooked to order. Really pleasant surroundings and bags of character in the bar and restaurant. Always cosy and welcoming.
Stayed before. Great service and nice breakfast. Had dinner that evening and food was good quality and hot.
Room 8 does not have a shower, just a bath (lovely bathroom), so if you prefer a shower then let them know when you book.
Will stay again for location, staff and value.
