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

Lovely room and staff really friendly. Other guests were noisy so need to invest in a bit of soundproofing of doors

The rooms were very comfortable and clean, this hotel is a great option convenient to Marlow and Bray, friendly welcome and price. The staff were very friendly and we had everything we needed for our stay, complimentary water, tea, coffee and biscuits and tipple were a nice touch. There is no carpark but we used the carpark close by which was fine. Entrance to the hotel is through the main pub which was a little chaotic as New Year’s Eve but that was to be expected and everyone was very welcoming. Would stay again, I imagine the garden would be nice in the summer too.

Love the bel and dragon
Stunning location with an old world pub feel mixed with excellent contemporary restaurant. Be aware rooms in main building have very low head room until your in the rooms, but rooms are lovely and generally well maintained. Could do with a small desk or work area for business travellers. Breakfast amazing and dinner generally excellent

Never again.
The hotel and facilities were excellent but my room faced onto large air conditioning fans which rendered undisturbed sleep impossible. Won’t stay here again.

Charm of English Village Close to London
This is the second time we have stayed at the Bel & Dragon and we will stay there again when next in the area. Close to great restaurants and pubs. Their service and accommodations are top notch. It’s a lovely cozy charming village break from the big name hotel chains while still being accessible to London, airports, and parts surrounding.
