The Bell Inn - A 16th-century dog-friendly Cotswold inn with locally sourced dining and valley views
Set in the village of Selsley, The Bell Inn is a 3-star, 16th-century grade two listed Cotswold inn offering dog-friendly accommodations. Two bedrooms and a loft apartment feature high ceilings, exposed beams, and amenities like Bose Bluetooth speakers, Nespresso machines, and luxury 100 Acres toiletries. The on-site pub serves locally sourced food, including pub classics like burgers, pies, and fish & chips, alongside a rotating gin menu featuring artisan selections. Guests can dine in the bar, private dining area, or garden room, which includes acoustic panels for hearing aid users. The Bell Inn is 2 km from Stroud, 1 km from Selsley Common, and a 10-minute drive from Junction 13 of the M5. Parking is available but limited, with additional street parking nearby.
Pros
The 16th-century building retains historic charm with exposed beams and high ceilings.
Locally sourced food and an extensive gin menu featuring independent producers.
Dog-friendly accommodations include a £15 supplement with a welcome bag for pets.
Proximity to Stroud and Selsley Common, with easy motorway access.
Private dining options and a garden room with acoustic panels for accessibility.
Cons
Limited parking space, requiring some guests to use street parking.
Accessibility challenges due to steps and uneven flooring in guest rooms.
“This inn offers more than just a room; it's a complete experience, from the welcoming staff to the Bluetooth speaker in the room. The food stands out, both for dinner and the first-class breakfast. I particularly appreciate the little touches, like fresh milk for the Nespresso machine and the provision of a drying rack - small details that speak volumes about their commitment to guest comfort.”
