Hotel Description
England's oldest hotel (from 1220) in England's first capital offers quintessentially English service and hospitality. Experience levels of service that you would find hard to better anywhere in England. The highly rated Old Bell reputed to be England's oldest purpose-built hotel is adjacent to the famous Abbey in the historic town of Malmesbury on the edge of the Cotswolds 5 miles from Junction 17 of the M4 motorway and near Chippenham. The Old Bell is steeped in character with log fires paintings stone-walls and period furniture. The bedrooms are individually furnished: those in the main house are more period in character some with beams and fireplaces; those in the Coach House have a light and airy feel to them.

Lovely stop in the Costwolds

Liked: staff were amazing and facilities are well kept with beautiful decor / ambience and a quiet / relaxed feel to them. Outdoor area I thought it was larger but that's my mistake from the photos. Room was nice and clean, a bit on the small side for 2 friends but that's on us, not the hotel. Dogs were welcome, everyone was very kind to them. Food was also really nice, highly recommend dining there.
Disliked: I would say that it is a bit pricey to go there with more than 1 dog since they charge per dog, not per room. It adds up quickly. Parking was available albeit limited.
