The Old Bell Hotel and Restaurant, Grade I listed hotel and restaurant in Malmesbury, England
The Old Bell Hotel and Restaurant is a stone building next to Malmesbury Abbey with 34 rooms decorated using antiques and stained glass windows. The spaces blend historical details with modern amenities for guests.
The building was established in 1220 on the former site of Malmesbury Castle and initially served as lodging for students of the neighboring Benedictine monastery. It played an important role in supporting the monastic community over the centuries.
The Abbey Row restaurant inside serves English dishes beneath a ceiling decorated with hand-painted gold stars and medieval-inspired designs.
The hotel offers free parking and accepts pets in certain rooms, making it convenient for different visitors. Rooms are available from 3 PM until 11 AM, with breakfast included.
The building preserves an original 13th-century ashlar fire hood, one of the earliest examples of a domestic fireplace design in England. This architectural element shows the sophistication of early medieval home construction.
