The building is delightful - full of beams and historical atmosphere but very well maintained. The bar was certainly very well patronised and appears popular with locals while most of the 9 rooms appeared to be occupied, based on the numbers at breakfast. We had a good evening meal and an excellent breakfast with a wide range of choice. Nice touches were the residents-only sitting room, which is a lovely large room with a vaulted beamed ceiling and a decanter of whisky available for a complimentary nigh-cap! Would certainly stay there again if in the area. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f3204686-6808-43c0-8147-0e0e9b6254ac-1757348153736.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin Paul 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very enjoyable stay food great and staff great ##### Colin Paul Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic stay, loved it so much I extended my trip ##### Matt Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna 17 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Accommodation and Food Delightful 15th century pub with very comfortable rooms.

The room was large with an incredibly comfy bed and good powerful shower. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the breakfast really good. We ate in the restaurant both nights. A special thank you to Ben our waiter. We would highly recommend Bel and the Dragon. ##### Helen Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Shani 30 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### All in all a good stay Enjoyed our stay. Staff lovely. The only negative was service at breakfast extremely slow and nobody at hand if we needed anything. In the bar area nobody cleared the glasses from the tables. ##### Shani Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very amicable & accommodating, the building has some history and is quite interesting, but not well suited to ‘modern systems’ like the fire alarm - I didn’t enjoy being outside at 1am on a previous visit and 3am this time! ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat, Elcot Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbury-Hotels-The-Retreat-Elcot-Park.h74071265.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington & Co.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbury-Hotels-Donnington-Valley-Hotel-And-Spa.h18328.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [The Foinavon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbury-Hotels-The-Foinavon.h33283216.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Hotels Newbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbury-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Newbury-North.h520436.Hotel-Information) > > [The Vineyard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbury-Hotels-The-Vineyard.h562214.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington Grove Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbury-Hotels-Donnington-Grove-Country-Club.h5286928.Hotel-Information)
