Why We Love This Hotel
- The Olde Bell first opened its doors in 1135. This makes it possibly the oldest inn in England, and among the oldest in the world. Over the years it has hosted Winston Churchill, Dwight D Eisenhower, Elizabeth Taylor, and Cary Grant.
- The restaurant serves dishes made with produce grown in the inn's own kitchen garden.
- Superior rooms are in the historic inn building or in the Malt House. Deluxe rooms are larger and are set within the Brick Barn. Luxury rooms are in the Main Inn or Malt House and each have a claw-foot bath tub.
- The property is in the picturesque village of Hurley, close to the River Thames. "There isn't a prettier village on this graceful stretch of the Thames," says The Times.
- Marlow is a charming town known for high-end restaurants and celebrity residents. It is an hour's walk away, most of it along the river.

Staff were very welcoming, however had difficulty in locating our same day booking from Travelzoo. Once located , they automatically upgraded us, without request to a bigger room. We found that the TV reception was very poor to that point it could not be watched and with no internet access we could not access the likes of Netflix etc. We reported this at breakfast the next morning and we were assured someone would take a look at it. That evening the situation remained the same, but there was a different remote control. Obviously, someone had made a visit, but were unable to resolve the issue but no-one left us a message to say it could not be sorted. On checking out the next day, they did apologise but no recompense was given for the inconvenience.

The Olde Bell is a beautiful, historic inn. The room we were in, which was a deluxe room, was of a generous size with a very comfortable bed & lovely shower, the decor was a little tired & the carpet had several stains on it, but generally the room was clean, one gripe, we had 3 coathangers which seemed a bit tight considering the cost of coathangers. In the evening we ate in the bar twice, the food wasn't a la carte, but it was very good & we've no complaints, the breakfast was plentiful with a wide selection. One thing that was excellent was the service, all the staff we met were friendly, extremely helpful & made you feel that nothing was too much trouble, if we could select one member of staff who excelled it would be Dominic who doted on our dog as well as went above & beyond for us. All in all we had a lovely break in a beautiful area at a very reasonable price.

We have been to this hotel earlier in the year and liked it so much we were pleased to return.
Our large room was beautiful with oak beams, the bed was comfortable and we both slept well.
There was a bath which was great as we prefer this to a shower, and there was plenty of hot water, towels and complimentary toiletries.
We had a problem with our kettle during our stay and this was replaced quickly.
We had a super time and said we will be back!

We ate in the restaurant on our first night and enjoyed the beef burger and fish and chips which was served hot.
We found the drinks from the bar to be very expensive. Breakfast was a bit of a mixed bag; the cold selection was lovely- fresh fruit salad, smoked salmon and mackerel, Brie and a selection of cereals.
The hot buffet, although plentiful, had a strange taste. Almost like we could taste the washing up liquid the Bain Marie’s had been washed in.
There was only one toaster and one, very inefficient coffee machine which really let down the breakfast. There were far too many guests for this to be adequate.
All this being said- every staff member we came into contact with were lovely and friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. They are a credit to the Olde Bell!
Please do sort out the toaster and coffee machine
out In time for our next visit :)

3rd time of staying, always enjoyable, although it was busy this stay due to a wedding.
Buffet Breakfast on the Friday was chaotic, food ran out and we had to wait over 30minutes for restocking, ended up not bothering, coffee machine always had a queue , need extra machines, also coffee wasn’t very nice , tasted weak.
Prosecco, was in fact Mousseaux and really not very nice, Travelzoo deal is diminishing, the benefits are not the same which is a shame.

We really liked The Olde Bell. Arriving a little too early for check in, we decided to take a walk around the lovely village and along the banks of the Thames, stopping for a coffee at the fabulous village shop and cafe. Check in was quick and simple and we were allocated room 11 in the main building, there are further rooms across the road, the room overlooked the road, but it is not a busy road. The room was a good size, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom modern with everything working as it should, no recalcitrant shower controls, or backing up plugholes.
We stayed in for dinner and there was a fizz, fish and chips offer available, 2 small bottles of prosecco and 2 portions of fish and chips for £30. Though good value, it was disappointing, the fish reminded me of the frozen Findus (other brands are available) triangular pieces of fish I had as a child, though this one was larger, and the triple cooked chips were frozen. If I had paid full price for it I would be very disappointed.
We had a fantastic night's sleep, then breakfast was complete contrast to dinner. Good quality breakfast items with a wide variety, though not awful, the pastries were a little undercooked (doughy) and the powdered scrambled egg tasteless, but as there was so much to choose from a couple of slightly under par elements was not an issue.
Overall, we had a great stay at The Olde Bell and would stay again. The Travelzoo offer with the included bottle of fizz in the room made it great value. It is obvious the staff are very busy at peak times, but all were friendly and welcoming and helpful.

When we booked in at 2.30 our room was not ready so we were upgraded to luxury room. We were booked into a deluxe room originally and I would rather have had that room. The room we were given was ok but in the older part of the building where as the deluxe was in the newer modern part. On the positives the breakfast was very good and plenty of parking available. We knew that it was in a very quiet spot so that was no problem.
Over all good value for your price and would book with you again

We loved exploring all the buildings connected to the Olde Bell, the pub garden was a perfect place to enjoy drinks in the sunshine, it was relaxing with a singer ‘Katie’ entertaining with her amazing voice.
We enjoyed dinner al fresco too.
The staff were all friendly and welcoming and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

The only issue we felt let our experience down was the very poor breakfast.
The hotel was at full capacity due to a wedding fayre being held. Therefore it was a buffet breakfast which was awful- the scrambled egg was hard with lots of strange looking grey bits in it, there were no mushrooms, a couple of rashers of bacon and few beans. The toaster and coffee machine were not enough to cope with the capacity of guests. My husband and I had to eat in the bar area as the restaurant was full, but on closer inspection a lot of the tables were set for 4 with only 2 guests sitting at them- the tables were small and could have easily been divided. Such a shame, but we would still return to the Olde Bell as everything else was so lovely!

Lovely quaint village. Inn with huge amount of history. Beautiful beer gardens. Nice dining room but shabby and requires redecoration. Lovely breakfast selection. Bedrooms extremely disappointing. There was no headboard on our bed which meant leaning your head and shoulders on a peeling, painted wall. Large stain on the carpet which doesn’t appear to have ever attempted to be cleaned. Grout in between the shower tiles discoloured with mould/mildew/dirt residue which was completely unnecessary. This can easily be removed with a mould and mildew spray applied at the beginning of cleaning the room then rinsed off at the end. Toilet flush needs repair as wouldn’t flush the toilet paper adequately. The door and all the white fire doors leading to the room were extremely grubby with finger/hand prints and don’t appear to ever have been cleaned. Thus was room 28 in the Brick Barn

Our room (No. 5) was immediately above the kitchen and unfortunately our sleep was somewhat disturbed between 5.30 - 6 am by the the constant noise of filtration equipment coming into use. We also had an issue with the operation of the shower, which was instantly addressed. So customers need to be aware the noise element could well affect adjoining rooms. Thus said, we would absolutely re-visit, armed with the knowledge of where to avoid sleeping.

Most staff were kind, friendly and approachable. However, the first night we decided to have a meal there. The waiter obviously didn't listen to us for what we ordered. We asked for a bottle of still water and when it arrived he just said "here you go" and just walked off. 3 times certain things had to be corrected, but the problem was rectified very quickly. We decided not to have further evening meals there but the breakfast, that came with the deal was good for the 3 morning we were there.

I think the younger serving staff could be more attentive and respectful, but the more mature staff certainly made up for that. Perhaps some training in hospitality wouldn't go amiss, especially when you are paying guests.

We didn't enjoy the fried event of the breakfast, so gave it a miss the second day. The continental breakfast was good. It would have been nice to have pastries with that part. I wouldn't recommend the risotto that was on offer either. Otherwise a very comfortable stay and was very dog friendly

Cost of food, which was awful. was given a menu stating 2 for £25 and on ordering, oh sorry that is not available, but you can still order of the main menu - of course I can £43.00 later
Then on Sunday night we were told we could not have the alacarte menu as we were sitting in the bar, we had no option as we had dogs, so we were charged an extra £8 for the privelege Room was tired, you expect windows flooring etc to be dated, but the shower was filthy as was the floor and the bath had a hole in the tap so could not be used

We stayed for the weekend in this lovely historic building which is located in a quaint village with good access to the River Thames.
Overall we enjoyed our stay but there are some areas that need improvement. The hotel itself could do with some TLC as its decor/furnishing is quite tired looking. This also shows itself in the cleanliness of the hotel, while not dirty as such it could do with some improvement.
For instance we had a balcony attached to the room but weren’t able to sue it as the furniture was tatty and looked unsafe.
The staff were friendly and very hard working but the hotel would benefit from a few more staff particularly at busy times.
However overall it was good value, in a lovely location and they are very dog friendly which meant we were able to take our pup which was nice.

My only caveat was that our room overlooked the kitchen and a noisy extractor fan came on at 5.30am both mornings. Also, be aware that the stairs to the rooms in the inn itself were rather tricky to safely negotiate.

The menu was unimaginative and some food disappointing. Our chosen wine wasn't available and the replacement was just plonked on the table without ceremony. Our 'superior' room had a good bathroom except for a rusty and not-heating towel rail and there was an underlying industrial noise from the hotel's heating system. The room was large but sparsely furnished and decorated, contrasting with the quirky-abundance of post-impressionist and surrealist images in the dining room.

Most staff were pleasant and helpful except for the one wine waiter who plonked our unopened screw top bottle on the table without comment.

We were visiting our daughter nearby so a perfect location for us.
The hotel is situated in a delightful village and very quiet position with ply of parking.
The hotel appears to be being refurbished but the reception and entrance in the original old building could benefit from an update .
Our room had been redecorated and was a great size.
We had to get the heating sorted as rather cold and ask for tea coffee etc which hadn’t been replenished but very quickly rectified.
We ate at the hotel and the food was varied and well cooked. The breakfast was a bit hectic as busy and the eggs were cold and overcooked but other than that plenty of choice of cereal pastries fruit and yoghurt. They would benefit from more than one hot drinks machine as it became very busy with people queueing around the tables making it not very relaxing.
Overall a lovely short stay in a beautiful village with lots of walks along the Thames. Very good value.

Several, items that were described on Menu were not available as described (Lack of herb butter & Peppercorn Sauce) with not being informed prior to ordering! Picked up on serving hence lack of poor service too! Bed could do with a headboard to assist with support of pillows and fan not working in bathroom, though room was decorated nicely. The bar and additional seating area after having evening meal lacked any real atmosphere or cosiness that one would normally associate with an older property. Lastly, as there was a wedding being undertaken in the adjacent tithe barn, the sound properties of the room were severely lacking resulting in a headache and unease until midnight when admittedly the noise level vastly reduced.

The meal on the first night was not very good; my pork was Ok but the crackling was like leather and my wife's Caesar salad was tasteless.
Breakfasts were very disappointing. I have never had a good hot buffet style breakfast, and this was particularly bad. If a pub / hotel can't be bothered to serve a breakfast fresh from the kitchen it should not be providing hospitality at all.

Situated in a beautiful village, staff were amazing, food from the restaurant a little pricey for what it was , but with 20% off was good value. Beautiful area and convenient for visiting other areas.

Hotel was much better than expected. Saw bad reviews. The hotel was lovely and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a deluxe room and it was really spacious. Good options at breakfast.

Staff were very friendly and service was efficient. Dinner was tasty. The inn building itself was very characterful, and the village of Hurley is idyllic.

We stayed in a Deluxe Room, which are in a separate annex away from the main building. This suited us fine, but if you want to stay in the Olde Bell inn itself, you'd need to book one of the other room types.

The Olde Bell is an ancient inn which has a lovely relaxed ambience. Like many hotels nowadays it seems understaffed but the staff who served us were working very hard and were all friendly and welcoming. Our room in the annexe was a little shabby in places but was large and very comfortable. The deal we had through Travelzoo was excellent value for money.

Our room was not in the Hotel, it was in separate building which felt totally apart from the hotel and really was not a good feeling. I think this part of the Hotel was for Travel Zoo Bookings or last minute booking and pushed far away as possible!!!!! Also the room was very very hot, which was really uncomfortable! It was only 23 degrees outside and with very little ventilation and two poor fans, which one was supposed to be aircon unit. God knows what it would be like if it was hotter it would be totally unbearable! I actually upgraded to the Luxury Room, top room available and I felt this was not that Luxury room at all, very disappointed. we had to ask for large towel as only one was issued and our bottle Prosecco part of the deal was not in the room, I had to go back to the Hotel as there is no Phone in the room. Top it off, breakfast was very poor. breakfast is being served from 7-30 to 10-30 we got to breakfast at 10AM and there was very little left over on the cooked side, what was left was lukewarm at best! Even on the fresh fruit virtually nothing left and again what was left was not nice! Attention to detail could have been much much better and had to ask for various things. You could get some food cooked individually which took ages, also by 10-30 they just wanted us out of the dining area. If they had every we wanted and made food in good time we would have probably been finished by 10-30, just felt they were pushing us out....
if I was Travel Zoo I would think twice about using this hotel again for Future promotions. This was my first time I stayed away with my new partner and I wanted everything to be perfect, I can honestly say it did not meet up to expectations. There is so much more I could complain about but I think you have got the message!

Room needs lots of TLC due to the age of the building, windows need urgent attention, due to a old building not many sockets.

For the price we payed (£69 inc breakfast and a bottle of fizz) it was great for what we wanted to do....walk to Henley and Marlow. The overall cleanliness and state of the hotel left a little to be desired. Our room was ok but, but the stairs and windows were filthy. Tables in the dining room were very sticky. Food was good. Staff were pleasant if disorganised. The buildings are very old and need some investment. It has the potential to be beautiful but I guess lacks the investment and tlc it deserves.

Hotel very tired needs renovation. We had a luxury room so called. No shaving point n the bathroom which to me is Basic. The carpets in the Manor House where we had our room were a disgrace . Needs a complete revamp.
