Lovely one night stay
This is a really beautifully kept and charming pub hotel. We had a room on the 2nd floor (i believe) with a view of the street. As a 17th century building it does have slightly steep stairs and some quaint low doorframes. We stayed for one night but I'd be happy to stay there for more than that if I'm in the area again.
The pictures of the room were accurate. It was warm in winter even though heating was off. It was well kept and clean, the beds were comfortable, and the ensuite bathroom brand new and very clean (the gents in the pub downstairs a slightly different story! But the pub itself was very nice).
- Doors at the rear are left open should you want to come back in late at night.
- Breakfast was a generous full English.
- The room also had a kettle with some complementary tea and coffee sachets, and there was also a decent hair drier.
- Parking might be a touch limited if you arrive at the wrong time as it seems to be shared with pub customers but you might he able to find somewhere nearby in a pinch.

Will stay again.
One night stop over. Room was well maintained and comfortable. Evening meal in the bar was great with an open fire keeping everyone toasty. Breakfast in the morning was amazingly good.

Disappointed.
Very average stay, in what I could only describe as a dour hotel. Can’t quite understand where all the glowing reviews come from. Outdated facilities, only positive was it’s a nice quiet village.

Last minute
I was able to book at the Crown Hotel a few hours before our stay. It was last minute decision as we live 3 1/2 hours away to where my Son lives, to meet my Grandson who is 2 weeks old.
It is a lovely place, went to the bar to book in, the staff and customers were friendly.
Chloe took us to the room which was nice.
Told us where to go for breakfast following day. (Which was very good)
Had a lovely meal in the evening down at the bar scampi and chips,
The only downside is the parking there isnt many spaces we were lucky as a customer was leaving as we turned up.
I shall book again when we stay.
Location is good for us
