Such a lovely location and very friendly helpful team. The rooms are comfortable with all the tea and coffee offerings you could ask for. Lovely little touches such as the gin and the chocolates, with a small bottle of milk for your tea and coffee. Food was lovely in the restaurant for evening and breakfast

Beautiful characteristic period building. Rooms are finished to a high quality, and you receive nice gifts in your room, complimentary Sloe Gin, chocolates and pillow spray which is a nice touch! Coffee bags are supplied as opposed to instant, and there is also a coffee pod machine which every coffee drinker likes to see. Rooms are spacious too, with very high ceilings and original features. Staff are very helpful and welcoming, the front of house at breakfast is always so happy to see you in the morning which sets you up for a good day! Love this place, its an absolute gem, and Wendover high street is just as delightful too.

We booked a superior room to it was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. We appreciated the little extras, the Sloe Gin in the room, small bottle of milk and water in the fridge. A lavender spray for the pillow. The staff were friendly and helpful. We are in the restaurant and the food was excellent. There was no drinks list on the table and when the bill came a glass of wine was £12.50,!! Also a hefty service charge was unexpectedly added., and were charged for tap water. We felt they should have been upfront about the prices.

Fantastic stay.
We had a fabulous stay at the Bel and Dragon. We couldn't fault anything. The service was great. Dinner outside was lovely. Breakfast in the morning was good. Would have liked to have stayed more than one night!

We only stayed for one night and didn't have the opportunity to try their evening menu since we were attending a black-tie event. However, judging by the quality of breakfast, I'm confident that the meals, if prepared to the same standard, would merit a return visit. On arrival, the bustling restaurant clearly signalled its popularity. Despite being busy, the reception staff were warm and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect - a commendable quality also found in the dining room staff next day. If you're seeking the silence of double-glazed windows in a stark, modern room, this hotel may not be for you. However, if you appreciate rooms decorated in harmony with their historical context but equipped with modern amenities like excellent showers and a very comfortable bed, then you've made a smart choice. Additionally, this establishment shuns the usual cheap sachets of coffee and long-life milk, opting instead for individual miniature bottles of fresh milk in your room's fridge and a pukka gen coffee machine, complete with a selection of coffee pods. I know it’s the trend to find something to complain about, but I found none; even a 5:30 am fire alarm was reassuring in a way as it indicated that in the event of a real fire, the staff would ensure everyone's safety. To conclude, this is a charming historical building managed by devoted staff, whose primary aim is to make your stay as pleasant as possible. If you find yourself in the area, this place is a definite gem.

Brief stay in area
Charming hotel/pub, believe was a coaching inn historically. Online check in and key collection plus readiness of the room at the check-in - all very good. Booked a superior room, King size comfy bed, good shower over bath and excellent Bramley toiletries. Showed screen did not stop water spraying on floor though. Large fluffy white towels and face cloths. Kettle and coffee maker, plus mini fridge and complimentary sloe gin - all nice touches. Breakfast buffet selection was good quality and choice of included hot items was comprehensive enough. All in all a really enjoyable stay, with attentive, helpful staff, would stay again.
