Perched in the heart of the charming Cotswold market town of Charlbury, The Bell at Charlbury is a beautiful 17th-century inn that effortlessly balances timeless character with modern comfort. As part of the Daylesford Stays ( ) family, it offers a warm and welcoming retreat infused with the same spirit as its sister farm, Daylesford Organic ().
Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by rich wooden beams, original flagstone flooring and glowing inglenook fireplaces - all lovingly preserved during a carefully considered, sustainable restoration. The bar itself is crafted from Ash grown on the Daylesford Estate, tying the inn back to its agricultural roots.
The food here is thoughtfully British - hearty pub classics and creative, seasonal dishes many made using produce from Daylesford Organic. If you’re in the mood for something more communal, head through to The Barn, a laid-back dining space centred around a wood-fired grill.
Outside, the magic continues: a sprawling orchard garden, planted with apple trees and cooled by a gentle stream, provides the perfect spot to unwind with a drink or a long, lazy afternoon in the sunshine.
With its mix of historic charm, refined but relaxed dining and peaceful lodging, The Bell is more than just a pub - it’s a genuine country escape, deeply rooted in the Daylesford ethos of sustainability, quality and connection.
