Absolutely amazing place to stay, can't rate it highly enough. Staff all extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming. Rooms spotlessly clean and well equipment with everything you need. Breakfast menu has got to be up there as one of the best i've seen. Lovely location and parking available

Loved our stay at the Bel & Dragon. The staff were very friendly and the room was fantastic. There were so many lovely touches, from the great range of nice teas and coffees, to the free tipple in the room and a night cap if you wanted it. The room felt incredibly homely and was perfect for our stay.
I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough

Could be delightful
Stay was fine, a few small improvements would make a big difference. Evening meal like warm on two nights that meant I didn’t bother eating in the 3rd night. Coffee machine in the room didn’t work properly and mould on drinking water bottle wasn’t over encouraging. Nice location, lovely village, different food menu, attention to detail needed

This was a great place to stay. I didn’t manage to enjoy the breakfast (it smelt lovely) as I was up early for work. The staff were very helpful and very friendly. My only tiny comment would be that the towels were a little thin and stiff, but that didn’t impact my stay! My room was on the front and they’ve managed to make sure

Nice stay
Really nice place.
Rooms and the restaurant are quite cold, but it's cozy and the kids bunk beds were amazing.
Food overpriced for what you get, but it was a friendly service

Just the night
We booked in and the woman who checked us in and bar staff were so friendly and welcoming. Room was good though a shower over a bath is difficult for my husband so will investigate that further on out next stay. All good, lunch was lovely and found Wendover to be a lovely town.
We booked a table for our evening meal and was a wee bit disappointed. The food could have been warmer. I had burger and hubby had rolled belly pork. The pork was a bit tuff... and it was a cheap meal. However, breakfast was best weve had in a very long time. Blackpudding was delicious, spicey with no big white fatty bits. Eggs perfectly good...yummy.
I would recommend the hotel and we will definately be back..with friends in Nov i am hoping!!!

Very easy to get to and park , lovely area to walk around . Breakfast was great and staff lovely and helpful.
The only thing I would say is we stayed in the room near the car park and the noise from people drinking outside was quite loud, also the tv signal wasn’t that great. But I would stay there again .
