Stayed here for business at a corporate event at Hedsor House - this was a hidden gem, and great value for money! We got there and were served by friendly, informative staff - the room was perfect for what we needed and the breakfast was plentiful and great quality. Would definitely stay here again when in the area!

Just had two nights. We got the last remaking room which was described as “cosy” which it was. Very well appointed, all the food we had at breakfast on two mornings, and dinner one evening was very good. Although busy service was excellent, and all the staff without fail were a credit to the hotel. Very, very pleased with the whole visit, and would not hesitate to stay again.

The most charming British experience

What a perfect first night stay in the UK! Everything about Bel & The Dragon Cookham was lovely. From the warm staff, to the quality of the food, to the great bed, to the guest-only self-serve tipples (sloe gin and whisky), everything was carefully attended to. Every staff member was helpful, esp to help us navigate on our first day. Highly recommend a stay here in one of the oldest pubs in England!

Nice hotel but let down by restaurant

Nice hotel with character. Excellent staff at check in and breakfast. Breakfast very nice. Unfortunately evening meal not good. Poor service and food choices not available. Limited choice. Quality of food received poor.

Pleasant stay at this venue

A very pleasant place to stay. Our room was quite small, perhaps unsurprisingly for a venue in town, but clean and well appointed, with a separate toilet (and sink) and bathroom with shower and basin. Breakfast was fresh, well prepared and generous, and the staff were very accommodating. Would happily stay again if the occasion arose.

Well worth its popularity!

Nice property! Not an abundance of seating in the bar area, but an excellent restaurant and friendly staff. Room was clean and well appointed. I like a hard bed, but it might have been a bit too much even for me. A really great stay overall!
