The Crown Hotel

Comfy restaurant and we had excellent service from the barmaid. The food was nice but nothing special. If you're looking for somewhere comfortable and not too noisy for a nice dinner then this is the place. The curry wasn't the best but does the job if you're not bothered about having a fancy meal and the steak pie was good.

Warm welcome staff friendly and helpful. We booked a large room with bath. We arrived at 4pm and the room and bathroom were freezing cold, I went to tell the receptionist and was told the heating comes on at 4pm and people (Eskimos perhaps) had complained of the heat. There are no bedside lights, one central ceiling one that makes the room appear colder and one table light on the table with the kettle. The room also has the distinct smell of cigarettes. However we had a fairly good meal in the restaurant and the staff were helpful and friendly. Definitely not worth the £129 I paid for the room

Nice friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and functional for an overnight stay. A very good breakfast in the morning

To begin with, the Hotel seemed like a great place to stay until it came to the food and especially my Desert. I was reading through the menu and decided to go for the sticky toffee pudding and when I got it I knew it was microwaved. This is disgraceful giving your customers over priced microwavable crap. If you do go the rest is all good, just watch out for their rip-off overpriced food.

7 of us stayed at the Crown for 2 nights and could not fault it. The staff are exceptional (especially the Bar Manager and the lady who serves breakfast) and nothing is too much trouble. They are all multi-tasking and are often doing more than one role. The food was also very good and nice to have home-made rather than hotel chain fast food. Well done to all the team at the Crown and thanks for a great New Year.

I stayed at the Crown Hotel for one night for work earlier this week. From the moment I checked in the service was outstanding. I had an evening meal within the bar. The staff were friendly, efficient and the food was exceptional. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere and the locals were great too. The room was clean well stocked with everything you need. In particular I was impressed with the amount of tea/coffee making supplies provided which for someone with a sweet tooth such as myself made my experience that bit better. The pre ordered breakfast was fantastic and the service from staff was once again excellent. I travel a lot with work and found the experience at this hotel was better than I've received in most hotels. - Thank you for a wonderful experience, ill be back.

Forget this place ,rang up to arrange a meal for 3 in the to restaurant and was told no problem. We got there well dressed and found the restaurant closed, only the doing bar meals. The place had 2 guys in work clothes did not appreciate this but decided to stay that is until I asked for a draft beer and was told they are all off only bottles. So I said to the obviously not to bright bar man but they are more expensive, he said no, the bottles were cheaper, I said no they are not. So I said the bottles may be cheaper per bottle but you don't get a pint. He was lost with this, so if you want a meal in the restaurant and want draft beer this is not the place to go

Where do I start? On arrival there was no one at the reception desk but there was a bell and I rang this several times before starting to tour the ground floor. I went into the empty bar and empty restaurant and called out to try to attract attention. Eventually I pushed the kitchen door open and called in there. Someone came out and was followed by another who told us where to park. We then took lunch in the bar and, after that, checked in. We were told that our room was upstairs and was number 9. We took our luggage up and opened to discover the smallest room we have ever found and certainly not one of the 8 rooms illustrated on the hotel's website. This room had a small double bed. It had a small wardrobe containing 3 hangers! The bathroom just about managed to accommodate the necessary furnishings. The bath was seriously chipped and the bath panel severely cracked! There were no tissues and no beakers. We thought to make the best of it and decided to rest after our 4 hour journey. As we dropped off there was the most horrendous noise to awaken us. This was the extractor fan from the kitchen. Under normal circumstances we could have closed the windows but, on a very hot day and in a very small room, this was not an option! It really was unbearable and we got up to go out. We alerted staff to our concern and were told that all rooms were booked and we could not be moved. As a parting shot, we were told we could have a drink at the bar! The fan stopped at 9.00 pm and we were able to open the windows and, eventually, get to sleep. After having been out on our second day we returned to find that the bed had been "made" but the undersheet had not been smoothed out, the bin had not been emptied and there were neither tea nor biscuits replenished. The next day the bin was emptied and refreshments replenished but the undersheet still needed to be straightened! This hotel would have scored less than 2 on every aspect of the scoring on Four in a Bed! On leaving I thought I would give the receptionist the courtesy of sharing my feedback prior to my submitting it. There was no one on reception on my departure!

6 friends ate here. 2 had steak and ale pie that was sooooo tasty. They gave us a little taster. 3 had chicken stuffed with black pudding and I had sea bass with prawns. Service and food was excellent restaurant quality. Staff were friendly and helpful. Light and airy atmosphere and decor was pleasing.
