Location & History

The Bell Inn is a 200-year-old coaching inn located 15 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon. A plaque on the front door states that J.R.R. Tolkien visited the inn, providing inspiration for the 'Prancing Pony' in his writings. The inn sits in the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh, a short walk from the train station with direct service to London Paddington.

Dining & Entertainment

Guests can order from a menu of home-cooked meals and a large selection of local beers. The kitchen focuses on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, with daily specials offering a changing dining experience. Regular live music events take place in the pub, and the courtyard and walled garden provide outdoor seating for guests.

Accommodations

The refurbished rooms include en-suite bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. Each room has a TV and tea/coffee making facilities, with some rooms located in a separate building off the courtyard. Accommodation rates include a full English breakfast served each morning.

Family & Pet-Friendly

The Bell Inn allows guests to bring dogs, with the resident golden doodle often seen in the pub. Families can use the inn as a base for exploring local Cotswold attractions and villages. The weekly open-air street market sets up right outside the inn every Tuesday from around 9 am.

Local Activities

Guests can hire bicycles from Cotswolds Cycles, a short walk from the inn, to explore the area. Horse riding is available nearby, and the inn is close to Bourton House Garden and Batsford Arboretum. The train station offers direct service to London, making day trips to Oxford or Stratford-upon-Avon convenient.

“I found the inn to be a genuinely welcoming place, from the well-tended gardens to the comfortable, clean rooms that felt spacious and bright. The attentive staff and excellent, hearty breakfasts set a friendly tone for exploring the Cotswolds, and the presence of Finley, the inn dog, certainly adds a charming character to the atmosphere.”
