The Olde Bell, BW Signature Collection

In the historic village of Hurley near Maidenhead in Berkshire — about 40 minutes from London and a few minutes’ walk from the Thames. Close to local landmarks like Bisham Abbey and All Saints Church, with family attractions such as Legoland and Windsor Racecourse a short drive away. A pet-friendly, family-friendly country inn that still makes London day trips easy.

One of the oldest inns in the world, with parts dating back to 1135 and charm spread across five connected buildings. Interiors pair neutral palettes with vintage Ercol chairs, solid oak tables and simple, understated luxury. Rooms range from minimalist classic and deluxe to luxury suites and a Malt House for larger groups, all with TVs, tea/coffee makers and private bathrooms.

Bar and award-winning restaurant, terrace and stunning meadow gardens that bloom with lavender in summer. Picnic and barbecue areas, an enormous kamado oven and rotisserie for al‑fresco dining, plus a library, children’s playrooms and a massage room; a doctor can be called if needed. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free on-site self-parking, concierge, tour desk and transfers; pets allowed on request — wake up to riverside walks and garden-scented mornings.

Business center and conference/banquet facilities suitable for meetings and events, including weddings and larger group bookings. Complimentary wireless internet, lobby newspapers and full event support with dry cleaning and laundry services.

The award-winning restaurant serves honest, locally sourced British cuisine using produce from the inn’s own kitchen garden. Al‑fresco dining in the meadow gardens and smoky dishes from the kamado oven and rotisserie bring summer nights to life. There’s a bar/lounge on site and English breakfasts are served (weekdays 6:30–10:00, weekends 7:30–11:00; fee applies).
