The room was really clean and the bed comfy.
That we had to ring land lady to get back in that night. We had been to a party in Marlow and came back at 3am. Felt bad we had to get her out of bed 🤦♀️

The owner Daniela is fantastic and made us feel so welcome and at home - as she put it, if we need anything extra just ask! She knew we were going to Marlow for the evening and told us not to worry if we were a little later checking out as the cleaners weren't due until 12. She also upgraded our single room to give our friend a little more space. The food at The Bell is fantastic and we have lunch there on the first day and brunch on the morning we left. The portions are big and good value. The rooms are great value - modern and very clean with little extras like a coffee machine! Its a lovely location just outside of the village centre of Wooburn which has other pubs, restaurants, shops etc. and only 15 mins drive from beautiful Marlow.
Very minor things but just to make people aware. We had the garden room and it was lovely having a little deck outside but the downside was the noise from the road could be heard through the far wall though this is not the owners fault - it is an old building built alongside a main thoroughfare. Only other slight problems was mattress was comfy but dipped in the middle so rolled into each other, and there is no shower curtain around the the beautiful slipper bath so the bathroom gets soaked when you shower. I felt bad leaving all the towels so wet where I'd dried it afterwards but the owners are lovely so i'm sure they wouldn't have minded.

Staff attentiveness was excellent. A lovely old pub that's very well kept. I had the Chicken Fajita and it was excellent, very fresh, well spiced and well presented.
I should of mentioned this at the time but didn't notice until later on that a 12.5% optional service fee was added to the bill. (a) it was only my meal that was brought from the kitchen to the table, some tens of metres, hardly an extra, (b) this feels underhanded by adding it automatically and not pointing it out at the time, it left a bitter taste.

The room is in a traditional style pub serving a nice range of beers. Food sourced from local suppliers is also served, and the meal I had was very good value for money (and delicious). I really liked the room, which had beams and a four poster bed. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was large and bright and had an excellent bath. There was a small outside area with a table. The owners and staff were all very helpful and easy to talk to.
If anything, there is some traffic noise but there's nothing the owners could do about that and it wasn't a problem overnight, so sleep wasn't affected at all. I had to leave early (my fault not the pub's) so I didn't get to try the breakfast

I love the design as it’s an old public house and the decor. It was a great place to stay. The bed was really comfy as well. The staff were welcoming and friendly and very accommodating as I had to be booked in last minute due to my friend becoming ill so they allowed me to check in later which was a great help. It has a wonderful feel about it.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like. You could hear the traffic but that didn’t really bother me but just making others aware.

Fantastic location. Very cool style. 4 post bed in a beautifully created romantic room. Floating bathtub and plenty of coffee. Food in the pub 10 out of 10. Hosts especially Daniella were very accommodating and friendly. They ensured we had an exceptional stay and experience. Highly recommended. Price was very good. We will be back 🤗

The staff were beyond exceptional! They go above and beyond for you and are super accommodating. I felt a warm welcome as soon as I stepped through the front door to check in, a lovely family pub downstairs and a nice clean and quiet room for you to stay upstairs, for the entire visit I was treated like a member of a family ❤️ Will definitely return! The service at the pub was fast, the food was absolutely delicious, good selection on the menu. The premises do close at a certain time but it's never been an issue for me and there's always a member of staff staying on the premises so you can always contact them. Definitely a memorable visit and I hope to return there soon.

In every the host tried very hard to make our stay indeed enjoyable and memorable. They could not have done more for us. The room and meals were first class. We would highly recommend any others travelers to this region to consider staying here - at The Old Bell. We are from Australia but will definitely come back here next year when we are traveling in England.
Every thing was done just-right

Good location for easy access to Wembley stadium. Staff and hospitality was excellent - there to sort out tv remote problem with no complaints, quickly sorted. Puddings were scrummy, went out for main meal but will stay next time
It was all good to excellent, warned about the low beams - it is an old pub - but didn't bash head which is a bonus. Nothing was too much trouble and coupled with a good nights sleep it was great.

Daniella and her team were very welcoming, cheerful and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The venue was clean throughout, with a spacious dining area. The food was lovely, tasty, well presented and filling! The bedroom I had was quaint suitable for a solo traveller with TV, en suite and freshly laundered bed linen and towels. Overall, I would highly recommend The Old Bell as a decent, safe place to stay.
Nothing not to like!
