About this space

Located next to the Main Inn, The Malthouse is a detached Victorian building with its own walled garden, separate entrance and tennis court. Inside, you’ll find five stylish function rooms.

The Drawing Room runs the full length of the building and offers a private bar. The Garden Room boasts French doors on two sides, high ceilings and a large fireplace. The Music Room has high ceilings, a large fireplace and a grand piano. These three rooms all lead out onto the beautiful walled gardens.

The intimate Library with dark oak panelling and a hand-painted cocktail cabinet is perfect for drinks. The Oak Room is an oak-panelled room with a working fireplace and windows on three sides that let in a wealth of light.

The Malthouse can host up to 60 guests for your ceremony and a seated meal and 120 guests for an evening reception. In addition to that, it offers accommodation in 14 bedrooms.

The Olde Bell, a Grade II listed coaching inn, is one of the oldest inns in the world. Redesigned by Ilse Crawford to satisfy the modern tastes, the inn still retains its historic charm, with certain parts of the establishment dating back to 1135! Arranged across five historic buildings that together form a little village, the hotel maintains the spirit of an “inn”. Guests are welcomed with traditional English hospitality and provided with the most divine experience.

Placed in a charming countryside setting and surrounded by magnificent meadow gardens, the Olde Bell is an exceptional venue for a romantic wedding. With a variety of packages to choose from and an experienced team to guide you every step of the way, your wedding will surely be one for the books. Also, the venue is dog-friendly, so don’t forget to invite your furry friends to celebrate with you!

The Olde Bell is located in Hurley, Berkshire, south of the Chiltern Hills and just 40 minutes from London. You can take a short walk from the inn to the River Thames, where you can explore Hurley Lock and stroll along the Thames Path, a National Trail that follows the river for its entire length. The path will take you to the nearby Marlow, a historic riverside town. Henley-on-Thames is also a stone’s throw away.

Other nearby attractions include Windsor Castle and the Savill Garden. The venue is reachable via the M4 and M40 motorways, London Heathrow is just 18 miles away and you can also take the train from London Paddington to Maidenhead.
