What guests think
At Bell Hotel by Greene King Inns, travellers highlight the historic, characterful setting opposite Tewkesbury Abbey and walkable town location, with on-site parking appreciated but sometimes limited, and a lively pub atmosphere within the old coaching-inn building.
Staff are widely praised as friendly and helpful, though a few guests noted slow or inconsistent front-desk experiences, understaffing at busy times, and in one case difficulty reaching night staff. Rooms are basic and often dated, with some small beds or bathrooms, noticeable noise in certain rooms, and calls for refurbishment. Breakfast and on-site meals earn frequent compliments for taste and value, alongside occasional negatives such as rushed service, lukewarm coffee, shortages on some mornings, or a poorly cooked dinner. Overall, it suits travelers seeking character and value over modern polish.

Facilities
On-site parking is appreciated and generally convenient, though spaces can be limited at busy times and some guests mention permit registration. The historic pub setting offers a bar/restaurant and occasional live music, but there is no lift and parts feel tired or under renovation.

Comfortable stay. Nice atmosphere. Good meal. Kept us a table even though we were an hour late stuck in traffic on motorway. Added bonus of a band on Friday night who were excellent. Nice warm comfortable room. Breakfast very good. We have stayed many times at The Bell and will be back when visiting Cheltenham races in the future

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the car parking good. The room and bathroom were clean but could do with some updating, the television did not work properly there was a lose fitting on the aerial lead. The breakfast was very good but was let down by the coffee which was not very hot.

We were in the "old" part of the hotel and absolutely loved the quaintness & "creaky floorboards" of this place, but some may not - not sure if the annexe has these, maybe not. The room was pleasant, clean & the beds were very comfortable. We would have liked a couple more electrical sockets. The receptionists, waitress who served us breakfast were all lovely and very helpful. The breakfast was one of the best I have experienced for years in the UK and exceptional value for money. You could have anything from the continental section (if booked full price - loads of fresh fruits, pastries, cereals, yoghurts - individual, large expensive ones) etc plus your choice from the extensive cooked options. These were cooked to order and were superb. If you struggle with stairs and narrow corridors with lots of fire doors ask for a ground floor room in the annexe when you book. Would love to stay there again if ever in the area.

Being an old building there is no lift and the stairs go round, rather than straight up. Which was a problem for us has we’re not young anymore. So ask for a ground floor room. The staff were nice and moved us to one. So accommodating. Breakfast in the week and Saturday was great but come Sunday they had run out of oat milk( but had soya) only one pot of yogurt which was shared out. And not much in the way of fresh fruit. The cleanliness’s of the room and main building was good considering the age of the place. Would we stay there again? Maybe

Although the staff were very friendly, professional and helpful, the building itself was rather tired with the outside areas unkempt and run down. Also having to register for a parking permit was a major inconvenience after having a long journey. The premises needs improvements to bring it up to standard.

If it wasn't for the free parking and arriving by car, I would have looked elsewhere. The property is dated, old looking furniture and facilities, clean, but not somewhere you would stay longer than possible a couple of nights. The room and on-suit are good size, the double bed was comfortable, the heating was good, no need for extra blankets. We didn't eat or drink in the pub, it wasn't busy, given breakfast is not included but is available, people probably go to local Spoons. Would I stay there again, yes, if I again need overnight accommodation.

Bar area occupied but even as residents we were refused access to the table in the restaurant table area that was not being used for dining (at the back). Had to hunt someone down to check us and another party in. Ran out of white wine at the bar. Room in need of renovation. Very basic and grubby carpet. Bed a very small double with a very poor mattress. Radiators came on and couldn’t be turned off. Grubby shower. Seems only 3 staff running the whole place and so the service was generally poor. Took 20 mins to get some milk for our room. Food (dinner) to be fair was good and cooked well. Bar area was nice except for loud music bands playing on the TV that nobody was interested in. Managed fortunately ti find the last available parking place, as the car park is open to the general public.

Not very welcoming at check in. Nobody at reception on check out. The staff were not very friendly at all Breakfast was a bit of a nightmare with fairly restrictive finishing time. By 9am pastries etc had finished and staff were eager to clear the tables so all very rushed. We also had to endure a man drilling whilst eating! Couldn’t read some of the breakfast menu due to it being in black on a dark blue background! Room was adequate

What a wonderful and charming hotel! A perfect location and we had a great view of the Abbey from our room (room 2). There is noise from traffic outside as the hotel is on a main road but this is reflected in the excellent price and didn’t bother us at all. Parking is free which is a great perk when visiting a city and the staff are so courteous and efficient. The breakfast is super tasty and made from local produce. Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back. Thanks to all for making our anniversary stay so special.

The room was nicely presented and clean as was the rest of the bar and dining area. Breakfast was included and had a choice of cereal / yogurt / fruit / pastry’s plus a choice of cooked breakfast which was all very nice. Location was excellent for the Abbey, museums, shops, trails and walks with plenty of bars and places to eat. Plenty of things to do for a weekend in this very pretty, historic town. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The Bell is located immediately opposite Tewkesbury Abbey and close to eating places and the town. It has parking which is not always easy to find at other hotels in Tewkesbury.

Nice historic building, close to the Abbey and shops. Very well run hotel, with excellent staff. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Comfortable stay. Nice atmosphere. Good meal. Kept us a table even though we were an hour late stuck in traffic on motorway. Added bonus of a band on Friday night who were excellent. Nice warm comfortable room. Breakfast very good. We have stayed many times at The Bell and will be back when visiting Cheltenham races in the future

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the car parking good. The room and bathroom were clean but could do with some updating, the television did not work properly there was a lose fitting on the aerial lead. The breakfast was very good but was let down by the coffee which was not very hot.

Parking was easy, the rooms need a good refurbishment, a paint job would be a start, the staff were excellent, our food was of good quality but could have been hotter,Tewkesbury is a beautiful village and we plan to visit again but probably stay at a different hotel.

Efficient check in. Room was clean. They were the only two good points. Bed/pillows were rock hard both hardly slept. Could hear everyone in the corridor and next door clear as anything. Stay away from the restaurant for a meal. Complete and utter disaster. Every member of staff told you something different and contradictory the person before. Busy with Christmas party’s (understandable at this time of year) and our food order had been rushed in the kitchen. I had a steak, certainly not cooked to order and my partner had a chicken curry where it had been burnt on the outside and not cooked in the middle. Manager came over and would not accept our problem and spoke to us like children (we are in our early 50s) her attitude and manner was not professional at all but that’s what you get when you have young 20 somethings in charge. Come the next day my partner unfortunately could not be far from a bathroom. So, again only eat in the restaurant if you have a really good cast iron stomach and god forbid if you have words with a certain on duty manager.

We were in the "old" part of the hotel and absolutely loved the quaintness & "creaky floorboards" of this place, but some may not - not sure if the annexe has these, maybe not. The room was pleasant, clean & the beds were very comfortable. We would have liked a couple more electrical sockets. The receptionists, waitress who served us breakfast were all lovely and very helpful. The breakfast was one of the best I have experienced for years in the UK and exceptional value for money. You could have anything from the continental section (if booked full price - loads of fresh fruits, pastries, cereals, yoghurts - individual, large expensive ones) etc plus your choice from the extensive cooked options. These were cooked to order and were superb. If you struggle with stairs and narrow corridors with lots of fire doors ask for a ground floor room in the annexe when you book. Would love to stay there again if ever in the area.

The weather was incredibly hot and such a historical building has no air con but there was a fan in the room which we left on overnight which definitelyhelped. The staff were all friendly and helpful, the food was good, the room was spotless and the parking was free. We had a great couple of days and will stay here again.
