In the know

Our favourite rooms

Simple, pared back, modern and comfortable, the Olde Bell’s Crawford-refurbished rooms retain the quintessentially English feel of the inn as a whole, with chunky farmhouse furniture, woven wool blankets, oak floorboards, and smart, natural tones. Thanks to the grassy scents of the hand-made rush matting, the rooms even smell rustic. Bathrooms are fitted with drench showers in the Inn Doubles and elegant claw-foot baths (as well as showers) in the Inn Suites. All the rooms have been recently (and lovingly) refurbished but ask for a room overlooking the wild-meadow garden.

Packing tips

Leave your library on the shelf – each of the Olde Bell’s rooms has a stash of Penguin Classics to thumb through.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

The inn’s seasonally inspired, gastropubby menu has been created by Rosie Sykes (author of The Kitchen Revolution) and changes daily. All bread is baked fresh on site, and in summer, there’s an outdoor barbecue offering local meat and fish.

Dress code

Barbour and Burberry.

Top table

Have the Olde Bell prepare you a lunchtime picnic hamper (complete with blanket and bottle opener), and meander down to the riverbank.

Last orders

Lunch, 12.30pm–3pm; dinner, 6.30pm–9.45pm. There’s no dinner served on Sundays. The bar is open until 11pm for non-residents, but guests can enjoy its hospitality as long as they wish.

Room service

A full restaurant menu is available during kitchen opening hours, a snack selection at other times.

Hotel bar

Lined with photographs of the inn’s past, the black-beamed bar area is riddled with nooks, woven with crannies, and warmed by an open-fire.
