About the property
England’s oldest hotel (from 1220) in England’s first capital offers quintessentially English service and hospitality. Experience levels of service that you would find hard to better anywhere in England.
The highly rated Old Bell, reputed to be England's oldest purpose-built hotel, is adjacent to the famous Abbey in the historic town of Malmesbury, on the edge of the Cotswolds, 5 miles from Junction 17 of the M4 motorway and near Chippenham.
The Old Bell is steeped in character with log fires, paintings, stone-walls and period furniture. The bedrooms are individually furnished: those in the main house are more period in character, some with beams and fireplaces; those in the Coach House have a light and airy feel to them.

The older part of the town is on a hilltop which is almost surrounded by the upper waters of the Bristol Avon and one of its tributaries.
As you explore this quaint market town, you'll come across beautiful architecture, including the 12th-century Malmesbury Abbey, which is a must-visit attraction. The Abbey is one of the oldest in the country and boasts stunning stained-glass windows, intricate carvings, and a beautiful Norman tower.
For those who love the outdoors, the town is surrounded by stunning countryside, perfect for a leisurely walk or bike ride. The River Avon runs through the town, and you can take a stroll along its banks or even hire a canoe or kayak for a more adventurous experience.
