Far better than expected

We stayed for one night and found that The Bell is in the top league of pub accommodation. The service was excellent, the room spotless, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom modern with an excellent shower. To cap it all the breakfast was superb, either English or Continental. We had our dog with us and there was a very plush bed provided for him in the room and a sausage for breakfast! We would highly recommend this accommodation which at under £100 was excellent value for money. We will be returning!

We thought the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a busy evening as they music on so a very happy sociable place. The breakfast was perfectly cooked and very tasty. There are some lovely walks around the village, off the road around fields. All in all a lovely place to stay.

Stayed bank hol weekend, bar and garden were very busy. Stayed to visit family in Worcester for the first time, very convenient location. Room was comfy and well stocked however the kitchen extraction was just by the window that stopped us opening the window on a very hot night which did affect the quality of sleep. Some minor housekeeping issues mean I can’t give a 5* rating but altogether a great value venue, breakfast was a delight 👍 Will book again

Delightful Bell Inn

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay. Room was more than adequate for us, liked the 'last orders' close at 10pm during the week. Evening and breakfast meals were superb, maybe could provide one, or two, extra real ale choices, (but that's just me), and all staff seemed cheerful and happy in their work, especially Becky.

Convenient overnight stop

Easy overnight stop on way to Somerset. Easy to find, though parking wasn't that easy. Comfortable bar area and lovely service, all staff encountered were very pleasant and the food was good. Location was convenient for Hartlebury Castle on the way and The Firs (Elgar's birthplace) on the onward trip. Will bear it in mind for future trips.

A great find

We were welcomed into the Inn and a polite and friendly young girl took us to our room. The room was clean and cosy and we were very happy to find we had a fridge in our wardrobe which is unusual. The bed was firm but very comfortable and had a large walk in shower. The only negative was that although the large overhead shower worked well, but as I didn't want to get my hair wet I had to use the smaller shower head which didn't work very well. The breakfasts and evening meals were all excellent.

Modern Room in Country Pub Location

We stayed here as a couple and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our room had clearly been newly refurbished – stylish, spotless, and thoughtfully finished. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, giving us a great night’s sleep, and the modern bathroom featured a large walk-in shower with excellent water pressure. A lovely touch was finding fresh milk in the fridge for tea and coffee, which made it feel more homely than the usual hotel experience. The accommodation is part of a charming village pub that’s full of character, yet peaceful and welcoming. Breakfast in the morning was a highlight – freshly cooked to order with quality ingredients and generous portions. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. Another bonus is the location – just a short drive from the Edward Elgar Birthplace Museum, which made a perfect outing for us. This place really struck the right balance of comfort, style, and warm hospitality. We’d happily return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a restful break in a lovely part of the countryside.
