About Bel & the Dragon
Bel & the Dragon has just nine rooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and drinks provided in the room, so a stay here feels more like a well-kept inn than a large hotel. Free WiFi is included throughout, and with round-the-clock reception, arrival times are never a worry.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar for meals and drinks without needing to leave the building, plus breakfast to start the day, and a garden for guests who want to sit outside. Free on-site parking is provided, which is useful given the village setting on Swan Street in Kingsclere. Pets are welcome, making this a practical option for those travelling with a dog.
The surrounding area suits walkers, with a walking area on the doorstep, and there's fishing and golf nearby for guests wanting to fill the day, along with pubs, bars and restaurants in easy reach. Newbury Racecourse lies within striking distance too, and Overton is a short drive away, making Bel & the Dragon a convenient base for exploring rural Hampshire.
Guests mention this inn offers delicious food, with highlights including perfectly cooked roasts, slow-roasted pork shoulder, and exceptional breakfast options like eggs Benedict. They also appreciate the comfortable, well-appointed rooms with high-quality linen and thoughtful touches like complimentary gin. Visitors consistently praise the friendly, attentive, and welcoming staff, who contribute to a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
