The Cock Hotel

Built in the 15^th century as a coaching inn, where guests could stay before changing coaches, the Cock is a hotel rich in history. It stands on the famous Roman road, Watling Street, across from The Bull Hotel, and is the source of the phrase ‘a cock-and-bull story’ thanks to the gossip and tales travellers would tell as they drank in the two inns. It’s also a fantastic venue to host weddings, and engagement pasrties.

Stony Stratford is situated just 10 minutes from Milton Keynes and within easy reach of the M1 and the A5. The staff understands that every wedding is unique and strives to create an amazing day that you and your guests will never forget. For a romantic aesthetic and timeless elegance, couples can consider the luxury of The Cock Hotel.
