As one of the oldest inns in the World, The Olde Bell is a unique establishment that has captured the essence of English hospitality and complimented it with chic tableware, divine textiles and simple understated luxury.

From the London glitterati to meandering souls that crave a classic countrywide retreat, guests can be assured of a sublimely chic experience whether they choose to eat, drink or sleep at this medieval inn in East Berkshire.

As an Ilse Crawford designed establishment, The Olde Belle is a glorious contrast of simple neutral tones, vintage Ercol chairs and solid oak tables – with certain parts dating back to 1135. The charming interior is a celebration of times gone by, with the greatest of attention paid to the smallest of details.

Arranged over 5 buildings, guests will be treated to a wide range of choice when it comes to accommodation. Larger parties will seduced by the beauty of the Malt house while couples or lone travellers can enjoy the minimalist character of classic, deluxe or luxury rooms.

Serving produce from the inn’s own kitchen garden, the award winning restaurant is a sanctuary for foodies with a commitment to honest, locally sourced food. The neutral warmth of the dining room is brought alive by fascinating trinkets and wonderful soft welsh woollen blankets – making it a haven for weary travellers in need of some respite.
