7 of Buckinghamshire’s Best Pubs with Rooms

Buckinghamshire is green and leafy, and well endowed with treasures, both natural and man made. From the wonder that is Bletchley Park, to the entirely different wonder that is Stowe Gardens, and the natural wonder of the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire is another one of the terribly English Home Counties. And it's this peaceful green Englishness which makes it so ripe for exploring via the wonderful old coaching inns and pubs our Gurus have picked out for recommendation in their list of Buckinghamshire’s best pubs with rooms.

Buckinghamshire’s best pubs with rooms offer great value, great food - Michelin starred in the case of one of our recommendations - and friendly local advice, these comfortable properties are the old fashioned way to see this county.

Close to London, Buckinghamshire is dotted with stately homes and manor houses, which are wonderfully nestled into the rolling hills and expanses of woodland, and it’s quite nice to have the flexibility to move around the old highways and byways and really see a lot of this county - which is what we feel these old coaching inns encourage.

For a Quintessential Village Pub

The Black Horse in Fulmer ticks all the boxes if you're looking for a traditional pub experience. Situated in the heart of the village, it has just two suites (complete with four posters, luxury linens and nespresso machines), and a cosy bar and restaurant where you can expect delicious food that's a cut above your usual pub classics.

For an Escape

The Dog and Badger is a is charming, six room hotel close to the banks of the Thames. With great food served in the restaurant and comfortable rooms, it's a lovely place to relax and unwind.

For Foodies

The Five Arrows is an old coaching inn offering great food (the restaurant holds 2AA Rosettes) and great value. This time its near Aylesbury, on the borders of the Rothschild’s Waddesdon Manor estate. Some of the rooms have four poster beds.

Just 15minutes from Bicester Village, The Pointer is super comfy and seductively cosy, refurbished from top to toe, the multi-award winning Pointer at Brill makes for a wonderful weekend stay. Michelin pub of the year 2018 and Sunday Times hotel of the year 2018.

Buckinghamshire's Best Value Pubs with Rooms

The Chequers in Marlow offers superb value for money. It's right in the centre of town and offers nine beautifully elegant rooms, done in contemporary, boutique style. The bar is a cosy space with beamed ceiling and a great range of cask ales, whilst there's fab food in the dining room. Doubles start from just £90.
Just down the road in Hambleden you'll find the Stag and Huntsman. It's an altogether more traditional affair with nine classically styled rooms and excellent pub grub that changes with the seasons.
Amersham’s The Crown Inn is a modern coaching inn, converted from a more traditional coaching inn, on the end of the Metropolitan Line, around 40minutes from central London, with 23 rooms, good food and plenty of character. Room 12 is the only room which retains a traditional feel - and you might even recognise it from the film ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’… Romantic and affordable.
