Staff was helpful and the room was fantastic. Dinner and breakfast were fine. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the hotel, but there was an absolute terrible stench outside when we arrived, it could actually still be smelled in the room. It eventually died down but never went away

A bit too cool in the dinning room, for our liking, but otherwise a lovely place we would re-visit.

Excellent family stay
Excellent family stay. Highly recommended. Our only down side comment, the family room could do with an opening window, but as the room was so big, we coped with it. The Crown has a very interesting historical past.

We had another lovely stay at the Crown. Have been here a number of times and is definitely our favourite pub and place to stay. Rooms are comfortable, clean and warm and warm, food is excellent and the beer and pub environment also excellent. All of the staff are really pleasant, attentive and nothing is too much trouble, Recommend the Crown to anybody

Beatiful old inn with nicely decorated rooms. Pub area is very cosy. Although the road is quite noisy and woke us early.

Comfortable stay on hot day!
We had a delightful stay at The Crown - the dinner menu & food in the pub was fantastic, the chickens on site in the pub garden entertained our little boys, the room was huge, comfortable and spotlessly clean with lovely touches such as milk and cold water in the fridge, a fan to keep us all cool (was a very hot day and night!), bath salts and excellent toiletries. The only negatives were overcooked poached eggs at breakfast, the fast road right outside being rather loud, and the TV Freeview was tricky to work and had a very slow remote which didn’t help. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

A very welcome overnight stay.
A very welcome overnight stay. The staff were fantastic, without exception. Helpful, smiling, friendly and professional. Some welcome tasty and healthy choices on the menu although the healthy breakfast bowl was very sweet (probably the berry compote). Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed but maybe a little tired. Overall excellent value and we would stay again.

Relaxed stay in a real country pub
Stayed at the Crown many times now and always love coming back. Staff are excellent and very friendly, food is always of a high standard and great beers (and gin) in the pub. Warm cosy atmosphere and very welcoming, with comfortable rooms. My idea of a proper county pub. We will be back again soon.

The landlord was very rude at times as if we had really inconvenienced him by staying there. Lovely room and very comfortable but the landlord let it down. Plus a 5pm check in time.
