The Bell is a vibrant, stylish 18th century hotel in the heart of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. Situated in the centre of Charlbury, an idyllic little town on the edge of the ancient Wychwood forest, we pride ourselves on our warm welcome and excellent food. A world away from the pressures of modern life, we're only an hour and ten minutes from London Paddington by train, and only 12 minutes from Oxford.
