16th Century coaching inn, quaint and quirky. Comfortable bed & pillows. Good quality tea and coffee in room. Fresh milk, but as room so hot it was a bit warm. Spacious shower. The room had a small room off it, with a single bed, suitable for a child, but the doorway was only about 4foot high, so had to duck to go in! It was a useful space to store case/ clothes. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order. Scrambled egg was good. We attended a party on the evening and the food was excellent and well presented.

Very small room( even though ours was one of the larger ones) Full length mirror was on the inside of a cupboard door which didn't open fully therefore unable to see properly. No towel hook in the separate toilet. The window looked out over the kitchen extractors and while they were operating it was impossible to open as all of the smells came in and was very noisy. Room extremely warm but thankfully the radiator was controllable. Fresh milk was warm, but we put next to window in the tiny room which was cold. Breakfast was ok, toast very hard, only smoked bacon, sausages a bit overcooked, not many cereals to choose from and the fresh fruit didn't look the best. Parking is an issue, on street if you get a space is 2 hours, tiny car park 2 mins walk away was only 3 hours between 9am-6pm.

Very charming B&B! The entry is through the old pub which is cozy and inviting with several fireplaces. The more modern dining area is open and airy with a lovely skylighted roof and open look into the kitchen. They have a very nice wine list and dinner both nights was excellent. Also, the included breakfast is the best we’ve had, with both a continental buffet and menu service. The hotel area is through the backyard garden area, which looks like it’s absolutely lovely in season. When you enter the cottage area, there is a complimentary nightcap setup in the hallway, so cute! Our room and bathroom were spacious, the bed was firm and comfortable with nice linens.

The only things that were less than perfect was the heater in our room would not shut off so we opened a window and used a fan. And the handle in the shower was loose.

Bel and the Dragon is an absolute gem. Room warm and comfortable with all amenities (including complimentary whisky and sloe gin). Bar downstairs is a series of smaller rooms each with open fire . . . absolutely perfect atmosphere. Good choice of food and beverage. 15 mins max walk from station, opposite the Stanley Spencer gallery, a few minutes walk to Thames and central to all Cookham amenities. All staff warm and friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast included. Highly recommend for a delightful experience.

There wasn't anything I didn't like.

Room: Absolutely lovely with a personal feel, excellent facilities including water, artisan chocolates, coffee and complimentary drinks which is a lovely touch. F&B: Excellent selection of fine wine by the bottle, great wine by the glass and fresh draft beers and ale from the bar. Dinner has been amazing with a great selection of small and larger plates, well presented and delicious to taste. Chalkboard specials offer an excellent choice of steaks as well as catch-of-the-day fishy option! Breakfast is freshly cooked offering an array of food from continental breakfast options, smashed avocado on toast, eggs benedict to a full English. All beautifully prepared or cooked.

The rooms can be somewhat hot on arrival. Remember, not everybody is the same so [if like me you run hot] then simply turn down the radiator... :)

Lovely old inn opposite the Stanley Spencer Gallery. Staff were very kind taking my bag up to the room when the room was ready for check-in whilst I went off to the gallery. Comfy bed and great hospitality tray. Loved the complimentary sloe gin available for guests. Good breakfast, but could have been a better selection of fresh fruit, although I didn’t go down to breakfast until quite late so may have missed out.

The bathroom was very large but a bit cold.The towel rail heated up but could not get the radiator in the bathroom to work and did not really seem to be any under floor heating apart from near the shower. Not such a problem for me as used the shower rather than the freestanding bath. Also the blinds in the bathroom looked as if they were stained by condensation.

On arrival we received a warm welcome and were “upgraded” to a slightly larger room. Shown to our room by an extremely polite gentleman. We stayed for dinner which was good. Wine a little on the expensive side, but the overall experience was good. Breakfast was excellent. A buffet of cereals and pastries was followed by an excellent cooked to order breakfast. Cookham was a lovely village with easy access to riverside walks.

Lovely property with lots of character. We also dine in the restaurant and was amazing. The staff is super friendly. The food was lovely too. A little pricey but expected due to the area.

If you are a light sleeper than I won’t recommend . It is on a main road with no double glazing and also the walls are thin so you can hear next door and also people leaving from the pud. As well as cars. However if you are ok with noice that it is a nice place .

Breakfast was very good. lots of options and very supportive of requests to change or add. pub was good with a welcoming feel throughout

the bathroom had a problem with the extractor fan which has now resulted in mould in the bathroom with some wallpaper peeling due to the issue. The rest of the room, facilities etc. were excellent. Just need to resolve that issue and it would be perfect.

Situated on the high street, the main building and bar/restaurant area is full of charm and character. There is a large, pretty garden with seating and tables at the back. The staff were polite and friendly. Breakfast was very good - there were plenty of choices on the menu. Hot food was freshly cooked to order and had good quality ingredients. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Complementary sloe gin and whisky were available for your nightcap. Easy access to the Thames Path.

The room was too warm. An air conditioner was available but this was a bit noisy. Parking was tricky- there is restricted street parking and a small public carpark nearby but this was very busy.

Comfortably furnished and equipped, and almost completely silent. Wonderful breakfasts from a chef's menu, far above the usual 'full English' (unless requested).

The distant manhole cover, that emits a double pistol shot with every car that crosses the Thames bridge, should be fixed urgently by the Council (along with a second one a few yards further south).
