"Needs update "

"Clean and spacious room. Food in the restaurant was lovely as well. "

"Room was clean & tidy, may be a bit on the "tired" side, but no complaints. The connecting corridors from reception to accommodation blocks were cold, but the accommodation blocks and rooms were nice & warm. Restaurant menu I thought was limited - certainly nothing special and a bit on the prciet side for what you got (I had a chicken Cesar salad and it wasn't the best - lettuce seemed like it was from a 99p ASDA packet and on the "turn", about 6 small croutons, and chicken “breast” that had been "coated" in something...and was very wet - all the signs of cheap ingredients used to try and make an expensive looking dish (it didn’t look or taste it, sorry). Breakfast – good selection – cold & hot. Usual problem with cooked food left under heat lamps… dried out food, especially the eggs, followed by the beans and mushrooms – I asked for poached eggs and they were PERFECT. Overall, an ok stay, clean & tidy, but a tired hotel (I stayed here around 10 yrs ago and nothing had changed) – has great potential due to outs “rural & woodland” setting, but needs investment."

"The The Crown Inn is a truly charming heritage property that delivers on character, comfort, and service. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of history woven into the space, balanced with thoughtful modern touches. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable, with everything you would expect from a hotel of this standard—quality tea and coffee facilities, a proper coffee machine, and carefully considered amenities that elevate the stay. The bedding and overall room setup make it easy to settle in and relax. Service is another strong point. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which adds to the overall experience and reflects a well-managed property. However, one element did impact the stay. Across multiple rooms (Rooms 7 and 8, as well as another in our group), there was noticeable noise during the night, likely coming from kitchen ventilation or extractor fans. While we raised this with the team and trust it will be addressed, it did disrupt sleep and is worth noting. Recommendation: If you’re considering staying here, it’s absolutely worth it for the atmosphere, comfort, and service—but I would recommend contacting the hotel ahead of booking to confirm that the noise issue has been resolved or to request a quieter room. Overall, a beautiful property with strong fundamentals—just one operational detail to refine for a truly five-star experience."
