The Compleat Angler Hotel
Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England
“Oh the brave Fisher's life, It is the best of any, 'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife, And 'tis belov'd of many: Other joys Are but toys; Only this Lawful is, For our skill Breeds no ill, But content and pleasure.”
It is widely believed that Izaak Walton penned his famous work on fishing in and around the Buckinghamshire village of Marlow. And it is from this book that a small hostelry - once known as The Riverside Inn and dating back to 1640 - took its name.
Today, The Compleat Angler blends its heritage with modern comforts and fine cuisine its historical patrons would find very much to their liking. Indeed, during the early 20th century it became quite a haunt for many icons of the time. Noel Coward is said to have happily quaffed here, as did authors J. M Barrie and Edgar Wallace (the latter being buried at nearby Little Marlow). American actress Tallulah Bankhead is also known to have frequented the hotel, as did other members of the glitterati such as Dame Nellie Melba and Nancy Mitford. See the Compleat Angler Website
