Hotels.com requires updating
I stayed here for work from a Sunday night, checking out on a Thursday. The location was adequate based on needing to alternate between Corsham and Chippenham for work.
One of the reasons I picked this hotel was it is advertised as having a bar/restaurant which would be ideal so no need to go out and find somewhere to eat after a long day. The moment I got to the hotel I was told it was now closed and doesn't serve food. The host was pleasant and when discussing breakfast next morning he advised he would do me a sandwich bag for work as opposed to eat breakfast. Very nice sandwich, but that and two pieces of fruit plus water doesn't come anywhere near £12 and I should have forced a full breakfast down my neck to get my moneys worth.
The room was basic with a single bed but comfortable and had a tv, somewhere for my clothes and a lamp. The TV signal wasn't brilliant but being a smart tv meant that was no issue as I could log in via streaming services.
The big disappointment of the room was how poor the shower was. It barely dribbled out water and as someone who likes to shower before/after work this became hard work.
Overall, service was friendly, hotel is in a lovely location but very outdated and needs more than a lick of paint, rooms facilities need to be checked for how well they work and the advertising it as having a restaurant are misleading.
For working purposes I wouldn't pick this as my first choice to stay sadly.

Restaurant closed
We stayed for business and booked on the basis that it was easy to reach from the M4 and we could eat and have an early night as we had an early start the following morning. Your website clearly shows a bar and restaurant, but the owner informed us on arrival that both were now permanently closed. This meant finding another place to eat and a few mile drive, not what we wanted having driven for 4 hours that day. The owner was great, but is in the process of trying to sell the property due to personal circumstances, so it has the feel of being run at minimum level. But we were offered a cooked breakfast that was great.
READ REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING!! I use hotels for business on a weekly basis, this is the worst I have stayed in for some time. Advertised as an executive double with balcony, bar and restaurant. Bar closed, Restaurant closed and apparently, have been for some time. I had to get a taxi to a pub in another village for an evening meal. When asked by the staff and locals where I was staying, I was informed that The Bell has been complained about by a lot of guests who have visited the pub and has a bad reputation locally. Room was in desperate need of an update. En-suite awful, shower was barely a trickle. Balcony turned out to be a fire escape. Such a shame as it could be a really nice place. If I hadn’t of pre-paid the room, I would have left. I even felt compelled to take photos of the room/property, which I have never done before, to show how bad it is, but the site is not allowing me to upload them. £109.50 I paid, I wouldn’t even pay £9.50 to stay again.
On a positive, the gentleman who checked me in was very welcoming and polite.
Stayed recently for work for a few days,very welcoming,nice and comfy and clean which is all you can ask for ,only ate once in the bar but the food was very good

The hotel looks lovely on the outside, plenty of parking.
There was no one on reception when I arrived, after a few minutes the receptionist booked me in but asked for payment immediately which threw me, the room was up a flight of stairs very narrow and I struggled with my case and laptop, the room was really basic, but the bathroom was better. I didn't eat or drink there, in the morning I had to move some signs put in place to stop people parking there out of the way to exit, it was around 7.15am - not an issue but would have been for an elderly guest.
lovely old building with renovation in progress .... Menu food was expensive with fish and chips with hardly any fish sad to say .... but there was a very friendly atmosphere and enjoyed the short stay

Ignore the frontage and bedrooms, concentrate on t
Ignore the state of the room and exterior and concentrate on the service and food.....you will NEVER receive service like it! Almost 40 years of traipsing the world and this out does it all. Chris is working hard on getting the hotel up to scratch. He's a way off and yet I would still return because of the staff!!!!
Booked late so arrived late evening but was greeted with warm welcome. Comfortable bed, great breakfast. Shower was cold initially, but was sorted out very efficiently by the owner.
We only used the Hotel as a stop off, the staff where very friendly, the hotel was very close to where we where visiting, which was appropriate for us as we had 2 young children's with us.
We did find it a little noisey late at night, but fortunately we where tired enough to sleep.
Only had room only.

Over night stay.
Lovely village to stay close to M4. Food good and served real ale. The night we stayed the Hotel had a shortage of staff which we were told was unexpected. The water pressure affected the water heat control which made showering
impossible. Used bath instead. Overall experience was OK but felt it could have been better. I know the water pressure was out of the owners control but nevertherless it did affect our stay.
Fit for purpose of our 3 day visit to Badminton HT
Comfortable beds, clean throughout, fluffy towels, hot water, delicious breakfast. No silly signage everywhere that you get in corporate hotels and bed and breakfast places. Still requiring more refurbishment. Bar area in both evenings had a good happy atmosphere. Shame the prices go up at that Badminton Horse Trials weekend but that happens all over that area.

Good Value for money excellent breakfast
The hotel is an old building with sloping floors but it is very clean and I had a very comfortable bed. Good Wifi, plenty of hot water I found it quiet as well. Staff very good but busy. I didn't eat in the restaurant as it was full so it may be worth booking if you want to eat there otherwise there is another pub and restaurant in the village which weren't as busy I can only assume as it was so busy the food in the restaurant must be good (breakfast was excellent).
Room had very tired decor, dirty carpets. There was a noisy running tap and shower which could not be turned off. This kept me awake even with the bathroom door closed.
Then no hot water for a bath or a shower in the morning
Very impressed with friendliness of staff at check in and the bar and food service. Food was wholesome and delicious both for the evening meal and breakfast. Location great as a stop over and minutes from the M4. If you want a nice friendly place to stay this is ideal.
