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!

The inn was lovely
Breakfast very good although another juice choice and the juice and water colder would have made a difference
The bedroom was also extremely warm even with the heating off
But all in all descent place
