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.

It’s a beautiful area and the inn itself is lovely. Sadly we were given “Hilda” as our room. It was small, shabby, no room for bedside tables and really cramped. The widows were small and hard to open, on a hot day with no air con, it was a small oven, we were really uncomfortable, I cant deny we felt disappointed, the pictures obviously don’t show this room, not even enough room for a coffee machine as shown on all photos. Toilet needed a deep clean too, skirting’s were really grubby. I get the feeling that this room isn’t used much, sadly we got given it. Breakfast very good though, but still had to return to our little room, which wiped out this positive.

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!

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.

It's a cute place, and I loved the complimentary drinks. The room I occupied had a lot of charm, including the low door-frame when coming out of the toilet (and banging my head against it, despite being warned of it just moments beforehand).
