Pub of the Month - The Bell, Charlbury
The Bell, Charlbury has recently been refurbished to offer a traditional 17th Century pub at the heart of the local community, together with a selection of beautifully appointed rooms for those wishing to stay for a night or a few days in the Cotswolds.
The chefs have created a modern British menu serving seasonal dishes that celebrate produce from Daylesford Organic, the sister farm. The bedrooms have been restored with considered attention to detail, drawing on the skills of local artisans and artists. From crackling log fires to a huge orchard garden for families to drink in the sunshine, The Bell provides an escape from the bustle of everyday life.
The menus are seasonal and use the best ingredients supplied by local growers and producers from the meat to the herbs, fruit and vegetables.
Modern craft beers from British breweries are served beside traditional cask ales, together with artisan draught cider and carefully selected wines from independent vineyards. The Bar has a large inglenook with wonderful crackling fires and is a welcoming place for dogs and children alike, whilst there is a Snug offering a quieter corner tucked away.
The twelve bedrooms are charming, with antique furniture upholstered in vintage fabrics offering a range of options to families and couples from king sized double beds to additional single beds in the family room, all with sumptuous bedlinens.
Open seven days a week. Go to the web site to book a Table or Reserve a room, for a wonderful weekend in the Cotswolds.

January Market Comment
January has seen us firmly up and running across the Cotswolds. Activity has been encouraging, with positive levels of interest and a busy start to the year. We have already agreed a good number of sales across our three offices in a range of different price points, which is a positive indicator of buyer intent following what was a very cautious 2025, with low confidence and many delays.

Three Quintessential Cotswold Cottages – Full of Character & Charm
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s something undeniably romantic about the idea of escaping to a cosy Cotswold cottage. Think honey-coloured stone walls, crackling log fires and soft lamplight spilling across plush sofas - perfect for long conversations, shared glasses of wine and slow, unhurried mornings. In winter, the Cotswolds reveal a quieter kind of beauty, with misty lanes, frosted fields and snug village pubs just a gentle stroll away. It’s a setting steeped in charm and warmth, and utterly quintessential in its British appeal.
