The Bell at Charlbury

A much-loved pub in a charming Cotswolds market town — thoughtfully reimagined by Daylesford.

Set in a 17th-century coaching inn in the heart of Charlbury, The Bell blends timeless pub character with Daylesford’s signature sense of style. It’s the kind of place where locals and weekenders gather by the fire, stop in for a quiet pint, or linger over a Sunday lunch with friends.

Food is unfussy, hearty and seasonal, led by ingredients from Daylesford Organic Farmshop - just 25 minutes away - and surrounding farms. Expect pub classics alongside vibrant, modern plates — always guided by what’s growing nearby.

Beyond the bar, The Barn plays host to a curated programme of events, from tastings and workshops to kitchen takeovers — making The Bell feel not just like a place to visit, but a place to return to.

Upstairs, 13 bedrooms are calm and characterful, with natural materials and soft details that nod to the building’s heritage. Downstairs, the mood is easy, the welcome warm, and the rhythm of Charlbury life flows around you. Whether you’re popping in for a cosy drink, a feast with family, or a weekend escape, The Bell at Charlbury offers a warm welcome and a timeless Cotswolds experience.
