The Olde Bell
A medieval coaching inn with gardens, a restaurant and bedrooms for weddings in Hurley, Berkshire.
The Olde Bell is a historic coaching inn on the High Street in Hurley, near Maidenhead in Berkshire. It has a restaurant, garden bar and bedrooms.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
The Olde Bell is a strong fit for couples who want a smaller, characterful setting rather than a large hotel. It is a medieval inn with gardens, and the on-site restaurant, bar and rooms mean you can keep the celebration in one place. A dedicated events team handles wedding enquiries, so you have a named contact from the start.
Ceremonies
The inn has a wedding ceremony offer, and its gardens and tennis court add outdoor space. The venue does not publish detailed ceremony room information online, so ask the events team which spaces suit your plans and guest numbers.
Receptions and food
Food is served through the Restaurant and the Garden Bar, and the events team can explain the wedding dining options. Capacities are not published, so confirm numbers when you enquire.
Staying
The inn has bedrooms in several categories: Classic, Superior, Deluxe, Luxury and Family Retreat. A page of wedding suites is also offered for couples.
Getting there and the area
Hurley sits beside the Thames between Henley-on-Thames and Maidenhead. The canal is a short walk from the inn. Maidenhead station is the closest main line stop, with onward travel by taxi.
The inn calls itself one of the oldest in the country, and the building has the beams and character you would expect from a medieval coaching inn. It is managed as part of the Best Western Signature Collection. Guests can walk to the riverside and canal in Hurley, and the area suits a relaxed village wedding weekend. Hurley is also a short drive from Windsor and Marlow, which offer further places to stay and eat for guests. Because the venue publishes no capacities, ask the events team early how many guests each room suits and whether the gardens can be used for drinks.
