The bed and pillows were much to firm and very uncomfortable.
The window was large but the view was to an adjacent roof. - no nice views

Great place to stay
Amazing pub and accommodation, friendly and clean, just felt a little uncomfortable hauling luggage through people eating at tables. However, such warmth and friendliness from start to finish and every person we met is invested in the comfort and experience of their guest's

The Crown worthy of the title.
An excellent hotel with a touch of luxury. The room was superb, and also the breakfast and dinner. We would stay there again, and another one in the chain.

A gem of a place to stay
What a lovely find! I usually stay in another establishment nearby when I am on business in the area but tried this instead. I stayed in the beautiful attached building in a wonderfully clean and comfortable room.
Staff and the service was wonderful and the food choice and quality was at the top level.

Won't hurry back
Very underwhelming considering what we paid. Issues with heating when arrived, were resolved within an hour. Initial booking was showing as single occupier, had phoned / emailed with an update to make it 2 people but had not been picked up. Breakfast selection was very limited, table half empty, initially no pastries, Juices etc and had to wait 45 minutes for a cooked breakfast.

Superb in every way
Everything about our stay was superb. All the staff and management were professional, very friendly and helpful.
The accommodation, fixtures and fittings etc were high standard and the cooked breakfast was top quality. All of which means we would have no hesitation in highly recommending the Crown to all.

We arrived at the hotel in the middle of storm Henk which was quite stressful but the staff were very welcoming. 15 mins later the whole village lost power. Although we weren’t able to get a cooked meal they produced a delicious charcuterie board by candlelight. The staff were upbeat despite the situation. The room was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again.
