DESIGN: The Olde Bell Coaching Inn, Isle Crawford

The Olde Bell Coaching Inn **

High Street Hurley

Berkshire SL6 5LX

UK

Such a beautiful and romantic place. Perfect for the historian in us all. Dating back to 1125, The Olde Bell Inn is the oldest Inn in the UK.

Interiors designed by Isle Crawford, you feel cosy and warm sitting by the fire in a grey upholstered wing chair to hold close while sipping you tea and nibbling biscuits or sit at the bar with a glass of ale and pastie to nibble on while chatting with the bartender, who just may be the owner standing in one of the various jobs around this fabulous Inn.

Just 45 minutes from London, 

how can I not visit this lovely place on my next trip to the UK, 

hopefully this summer!!

The furnishings of this Inn are amazingly simple and elegant.  The colour palette neutral grays, white and black, with a bit of orange in the pub & red in the rooms. Love how there is a small brown betty teapot in numerous images! so sweet!!

I really love her work! Isle is in my top 10 designer crushes!!

I need to go on Holiday now, just need to find the perfect travel companion!
