This historic 15th Century Coaching Inn is situated in the picturesque Market Town of Stony Stratford The Town on The Road.

The Cock Hotel rose to national pre-eminence in the great age of coach travel with as many as 100 coaches a day coming into the Town.

The Hotel was the official staging post for the famous Manchester Flier.

An original timetable shows that the Flier left London at 8.30am arriving in Manchester at 5.10am the next day with a 25 minute stop here at the Cock Hotel for dinner.

Other travellers staying at the Hotel and the adjacent Bull vied with each other in the telling of outrageous tales of the road from whence the famous phrase a Cock and Bull Story derives.
