About this property

Bel & The Dragon at The Red Lion is a historic grade II-listed coaching inn with stunning features dating back to 1669 and possibly even earlier in origin; much of the original building still stands. It has been sensitively restored this year, with the aim of providing a premium, contemporary English inn, with sophisticated charm and historic character. The building features a 17th century fireplace and exposed beams, it also has free WiFi and free on-site parking. Less than 50 minutes from London by public transport, Bel & The Dragon at The Red Lion is the ideal location to put your feet up by a roaring fire and enjoy a taste of the countryside life. With 23 individually designed boutique bedrooms, guests can help themselves to the complementary Sipsmith sloe gin and Bramley toiletries to help guests wind down after a long day walking in the Chilterns. In the warmer months, the stunning new garden terrace seats up to 160 guests for al fresco drinks and dining, with covered and heated available should the weather be a touch unpredictable. Whether you are looking for the perfect country weekend getaway or a local resident searching for a quality dining experience, Bel & The Dragon at The Red Lion looks forward to welcoming you.

    The welcome was fantastic with someone offering to carry my heavy bag upstairs. The room had complimentary sloe gin which was very enjoyable. The evening meal was very good and staff attentive and we were well looked after. There was a whisky...

    The location is excellent, the room is beautifully finished, the bed is comfortable, and there’s complimentary gin. What more could you ask for?
  • Caitlin

    The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, cosy and well decorated. There were little gestures around the hotel and room like ‘night cap’.
