THE COCK HOTEL Set in the heart of Stony Stratford, The Cock Hotel is a 15th-century coaching inn that’s steeped in history. It stands on the old Roman Road, Watling Street next to The Bull Hotel within easy reach of the local shops and countryside walks. At the centre of the hotel is the courtyard which is accessible and sheltered all year round. There are 30 en-suite bedrooms and a hotel bar and restaurant serving a wide range of beverages and freshly cooked pub classics. The two on-site function rooms offer flexibility for weddings and events boasting natural daylight, stylish décor and good access. Ceremonies take place for up to 100 guests in The Marquee Suite, historically a coach house, that overlooks an open-air courtyard and has a PA system for ceremony music. Alternatively, The Oak Room is located at the top of a small flight of stairs on the first floor with easy access to the public bar and can host up to 50 loved ones for the ceremony.
