Guest Reviews:
- "Well decorated and lay out" - "The hotel is wonderful and worth every penny. Don't hesitate to book this hotel. The team on site, the location, the rooms, bedding etc etc are all wonderful. Really loved it!" - "Staff members were helpful, polite and friendly. The accommodation was an experience. Had to walk through a herb garden to the quarters. Really nice. The location was great; peaceful with bird song. Well proportioned with everything you could need. The bar/dining area was interesting. Pictures, a large fireplace; what caught my eye was the cabinet with woven reincarnation of food stuffs long since made redundant. I though they were real at first. The different types of outdoor seating was amazing. I aim to try the rooms as they were all unique, quirky. Just what I like. All in all it was a pleasant environment with all age groups catered for. I will be visiting again."

- "The staff at The Crown were all fantastic from the moment we arrived." - "Bed was really comfy, dinner was delicious and breakfast was very tasty." - "It was just gorgeous" - "We stayed in the attic room, with the freestanding bath. It was wonderful and Peaceful. Bed was comfortable and the pillows were very high quality duck feather, had the best sleep. The air con unit was a god send. The bath was lovely, be aware there is no shower in this room, we liked the fact we had to run a bath and take the time to chill and relax but it’s not for everyone. Staff were lovely, absolute credit to the establishment. The food in the pub was delicious. As were the cocktails. Management removed our puddings from the bill as it was my birthday which was really lovely. Breakfast before we left was so tasty and they put a little birthday candle in it which was so cute! Thank you so much we had such a nice time. We would definitely stay again if in the area."
