The Old Bell in Wiltshire

Great place to stay while visiting the Cotswolds. Recently renovated, the hotel is so pretty and relaxing. Malmesbury is charming and much less crowded than surrounding towns.

Was a wonderful experience. The service was friendly and efficient,food was excellent and decor is beautiful. Would definitely recommend. The reception staff, bar staff and Tristan made are visit wonderful. Our dogs were treated so nicely by the staff aswell. Looking forward to our next visit.

Normally I would avoid hotel restaurants but do t avoid this one! Food is of very high standard and the waiting staff are excellent.The bar has a superb cocktail menu and will also make the standard ones of course.Only reason to drop a star was than the menu is (understandably in these times) limited.I usually go for menu items I can't or wouldn't be bothered to cook myself at home, I am paying for that difference and a couple of the options might not meet that criteria thus reducing the options.But do go, it's not the most expensive restaurant in the town but may be the best.

Went for Sunday lunch with family. The staff were amazing,also the best Sunday lunch I've had in ages 😋. I highly recommend the beef and will definitely be returning soon.

Brilliant food food amazing service. One of the very best Sunday lunches we have had in 30+ years of marriage. Highly recommended

A fantastic hotel with amazing character , lots of history.Unfortunately I found that for what we paid for the room I would have expected a little more. I just felt I was ripped off slightly and have had more for my money in other hotels.The breakfast was nice in the morning but I asked for condiments but they never arrived , toast arrived way before breakfast so was cold . I understand it was new year s day but it's not hard to have warm toast and sauces readily available 🤔

I stayed for 2 nights - Xmas Eve and Xmas day. What a wonderful hotel and such friendly, efficient staff. Nothing was too much trouble! The room was well decorated, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The food, delicious and well presented. Each time you left your room for a meal a gift was left for your return, be it a small bottle of port, couple of little chocolates and a little card with inspirational quotes etc. Nice touch! I loved it so much I've booked to come back for New Years Day lunch. Big shout out to Sean, Elaine, Chloe and Helen who were made sure my stay was wonderful!! Thanks so much. Nicky💞

We had a single overnight stay here with dinner and breakfast. We found that the staff were very friendly and helpful. The manager is very hands-on and was often to be seen keeping an eye on things. The room we had was comfortable and well appointed. Dinner was excellent and we had the good fortune to have Jack for our waiter who looked after us attentively without being overbearing.All options on the breakfast menu were included and it was full of delicious options. They even did their best to accommodate special requests.The bar was cosy with an open fire and we had our coffee there.Hoping to stay again some time.

I want to love The Old Bell but something is missing; I think it's cosiness if that makes sense. The new owners have spent a lot on renovations (the wall paper is amazing) but the rooms echo ... maybe some extra rugs on the floor ... I just feel there is something missing as this should be the premier place to visit for eating/having a night out in Malmesbury (you're certainly paying for it with cocktails around £12 a pop). In summary The Old Bell is good, it's just not great (yet). Review Oct 2021 (I'll return again and update my review in a few months as this may just be opening teething problems).

Absolutely loved The Old Bell's new transformation! The restaurant is really special and looks phenomenal.Atmosphere, service, food are all wonderful. The steak was sublime......On this occasion, we were particularly impressed by the fantastic staff as we had made a bit of a reservation error, and managed to book ourselves in for dinner for two at 8am instead of 8pm.... Oops (!) but they managed to accommodate us with minimal fuss, which was hugely appreciated.The value and quality of the meal we experienced at The Old Bell was superb and we will definitely be back! The pudding and pepper corn sauce was to die for!Thank you so much.Michelle and Simon SteadPerfection Skin and Beauty Clinic
