The property requires a lot of maintenance inside and out. The pictures need an update! Parking is on the road where available. The rooms have recently been painted, but still only a two star standard.

I stayed in a single room. Was clean and the mattress was comfy. I would have liked a chair and a fan in the room. Toiletries and tea-making facilities. Landlord apologised for the building works taking place on the pub. I had a good fish dinner. Didn't explore the village but looks pretty and a lot of locals use the pub. No car park but seems to be an adequate availability of street parking. Short drive to Kelmscott.

A delightful little friendly B&B pub. The only downside is the difficulty of parking: it is available, but not necessarily always straight-forward.

Lovely stay at The Bell in Ducklington

Enjoyed a comfortable at The Bell Inn. Very Olde Worlde. We had breakfadt and an evening meal on our two night stay. The food and produce used were excellent and the breakfast really was plentiful and first class. The Landlord seemed to wear several different hats and was most welcoming and polite in everything he did. We found the room, although dated, very clean and hygienic. We would not hesitate to stay again bext time qe are that way on. The only downside was the BLOODY SCAFFOLDING.

Great 1 night stay

Very comfortable. Radiator not working but portable heater provided that heated up room very well on a very cold night. No toilet roll (easy oversight) but nicked roll from adjacent room! Breakfast outstanding! Great place for breaking long journey!

Pleasant Stay

Good stay on the whole just picked a time when the kitchen was being refurbished so no hot food and live music made an early night impossible. Good friendly staff and good service. Room was spotless and appeared to have been recently decorated with refitted ensuite and free wifi

Amazing little get away. Comfortable room. Welcomed on our arrival was very warm and friendly. The food and pub was excellent. We travelled with a child who was entertained by a number of games. The staff and locals were all welcoming and more than happy to have us to stay. We had to leave before normal breakfast time and they happily opened breakfast early by a whole hour. We will return.

Central heating wasn’t working but supplied with a electric radiator in room. Staff couldn’t do enough and cooked breakfast was very nice. Needed a little tlc, marks on carpet and some deep cleaning but overall a good stay

We won't stay here again

We were given a friendly welcome on arrival and shown to our room. This was clean, apart from the carpet which was in need of cleaning. The bed was comfortable. The most extraordinary thing was the shower, which delivered tepid water in 10 second bursts accompanied by a loud noise. A bath would have taken forever to fill and would by then have been cold. The breakfast "pastries" were plastic-wrapped and cotton wool textured. The cooked breakfast was better. This is a smart village, quiet overnight, and the pub is an attractive building.

Tel number on hotels.com does not connect to pub

Great place for amount paid however was not able to contact property to say we were running late as telephone number on Hotel.com does not work as a Birmingham number listed instead and Hotels.com were not able to call them either as they only had the wrong number listed too

One night manageable

The staff member who welcomed us was friendly and helpfully showed us to the room. However acess to it was outside via a poorly lit metal staircase, which would've been a nightmare to go down if there had been a fire as it had no contrast edging. The room hadn't been heated and it took a while to get the room warm once we'd turned the radiator on. The shower cubicle door couldn't be fully opened as the toilet wa too close, but everything was very clean and the bed comfy. The dining area at breakfast smelt awful probably because the pub is small and had no doors between different areas. The food was no more than ok and there was no-one around when we came to leave, so we just left the key on the bar.
