The Olde Bell, BW Signature Collection by Best Western

High StreetSL6 5LX

Relax and unwind at The Olde Bell – a unique venue that’s one of the world’s oldest coaching inns.

Located in Hurley, a rural village in Berkshire, it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle yet only 40 minutes from Central London. Nicknamed Gorgeous-On-Thames, Hurley was voted one of the best places to live by the Sunday Times in 2020. Chic yet traditional is the vibe at the Olde Bell. British interior designer Ilse Crawford has been praised for her stunning redesign of the coaching inn and the result is an uber-luxe yet understated experience. The 48 bedrooms at this classic countryside retreat range from the sublime to the ridiculously sublime, with options across the five buildings: the Main Inn & Malt House, Brick Barn, Tithe Barn and Bell Lodge. If you’re travelling with your furry friend, the Olde Bell is your choice for dog-friendly accommodation near London. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, you’re still close to the necessary connections.

Restaurants & bars

The combination of modern luxury and rustic charm is felt strongly in the Olde Bell’s cosy restaurant and in the gorgeous gardens where alfresco dining is a must in summer.

Main Inn Restaurant

Restaurant

The Dining Room’s talented chefs provide exciting seasonal menus filled with dishes of fantastic quality. The restaurant has built relationships with local farmers and organic producers and grows vegetables and herbs just 30 feet from the dining room in the Kitchen Garden. It’s a family-friendly affair at the Olde Bell restaurant and never more so in the summer. Children will adore the tastes and smells of the Summer Kitchen and its rotisserie, grill and kamado oven. Another firm favourite is the Olde Bell afternoon tea experience.
