Set in the historical borough of Malmesbury, Wiltshire, The Old Bell Hotel first opened its doors over 800 years ago, in 1220. These days, however, expect to be delighted by its spectacularly unique and stylish interiors following it’s top to toe refurbishment in 2021 by owners Kim Hanks and her husband, renowned antiques dealer and collector, Whit Hanks.
The on-site fine dining restaurant, Abbey Row, is headed up by the incredibly talented Chef Daniel Kerr. With hyper seasonal and local ingredients being his biggest inspiration, Daniel has the privilege of working directly with The Old Bell Hotel’s gardeners who grow much of the kitchen’s produce from their cousin property, the stunning kitchen garden at Abbey House Manor.
The hotel boasts 34 exquisite bedrooms, and four new townhouses each individually designed and furnished with colourful wall coverings as well as two stunning bar concepts – the 1220 bar and the fabulous Tyger Bar. The brand new Garden Room and courtyard are perfect for private parties, weddings and events.
