The hotel was just what we wanted for a weekend away. A perfect location for exploring the area with excellent breakfast and evening meals. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

AVOID, out of date food and no sleep
Avoid. Worst stay ever. Served my pregnant partner out of date muffins. 4 days out of date, eggs and dairy in muffins??? Bed was really uncomfortable, we was up every 5 minutes tossing and turning my partner ended up with back/hip pain. HAIR IN MUG IN THE HOTEL ROOM. I made my partner a tea and she pulled a hair out of her mouth that wasn’t hers. Battered cod was burnt I had a handful of my food and left it. Full of kids who always seem to be apologising for bad management. Was told we’d be receiving a call from management and heard nothing. They don’t answer the phone. This was a surprise for my birthday from my partner we drove nearly an hour and a half to get there we could’ve stayed somewhere local and got better value and service.

A hotel with character and friendly staff.
It's a lovely building, unfortunately the heating system was not geared up for the very cold weekend we spent there. Heating was set to come on for an hour morning and evening. Due to age, there is no double glazing. On our second day we were give an electric heater. The breakfasts were great, set is up for a day out. The staff were friendly, we felt welcome, it would be 👍 t to stay late Spring or Summer. We cut out stay by a day and went home, where we can control the warmth on freezing cold days! .

Another wonderful stay
Once again another wonderful stay. Hotel room was spacious and clean. Food was excellent as always. But did feel menu was a bit limited would have liked a choice of maybe a burger

Enjoyed my 1 night stay and had a great steak in the evening and also breakfast was excellent. My only issue was tha heating wasnt working and a member of staff got a plug in heater out of my rooms wardrobe which could mean they knew about the problem but i dont kow that for sure. The room was fantastic with a big walk in shower. They do have trouble using mobile phones there with no signal but kindly let you use their landline. Would stay there again if in the area. John

Lovely stay in a clean, comfortable room in the building adjacent to the pub. We had a good breakfast on both days, even the dog received her own sausage! Dogs are made welcome taking our meals in a nice, bright dining area adjacent to the main dining room. The Crown is in a peaceful spot even though it is close to main routes. The lower car park is free from artificial light and we managed to get some lovely photos of the Milky Way, an unexpected bonus!

Lovely country stay
We had a lovely stay, room was a great size and nice and clean. We ate in the bar in the evening, the food was great with an array of local beers. Our breakfast was included and was a highlight of the stay. Staff are welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We hope to stay again.

Nice property however the food was terrible. Not cooked properly and service took forever. Several meals returned to the kitchen around us and one table left on receipt of their food. Wasn’t cheap and felt disappointed with the experience.

Not a deluxe room.
Lovely location, friendly staff and very comfortable bed. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order. Downside: we booked a deluxe room but felt it was more standard. The door lock did not feel secure as it was very wobbly from the outside ad from the inside I thought it was going to come off in my hand when i opened it. Was told by staff that a key had broken off in the lock the previous day. I feel this should have been rectified before letting the room again. There was a dirty white facecloth on the radiator pipe ehind the bathroom door which looked like it was there to soak up a leaky radiator.

Nice stay
Travelling alone for work. Felt quite remote. Room was lovely. Had a bath which was nice that did have a shower although there was a sloping roof and I’m tall so I couldn’t stand to shower. Restaurant was nice and had a veggie option. Free parking.

Great start but didn't get the basics right
Stayed over at the Crown for business. Plenty of positives including the look of the building, the interior decor and the friendliness of the staff. Had a meal which was first class and the beer was superb. The downside was the breakfast times being only 8.30-9.30 (I had to leave for a meeting by 8am. I was given a sausage sandwich that night for the morning plus some orange juice. Luckiliy I checked the date on the orange juice bottle before opening as it was over a month out of date. The room was cold in the evening despite the heating being on. In the morning no heating at all despite it being around 4 degrees outside. Went to take a shower and the water was lukewarm. It's a shame because what could have been a 5-star experience was soured by not getting the basics right. I note other reviews have mentioned the rigid breakfast time so I'm not alone in thinking this isn't customer friendly.
Room was lovely (but cold), bed was comfy.
Given a bottle of orange which was out of date.
Bathroom with all that you need (except hot water).

Nice stay
Clean rooms. Bathroom needed a bit of tlc, mould on roof above shower, holes in wall where something once was. Sealant missing around shower tray and on the floor so it’s turned black. Comfy bed, some road noise in room 9 but didn’t disturb. Breakfast was lovely although menu was limited. The coffee was amazing! Evening food was great but fairly pricey.
