Unfortunately, we didn't end up traveling as had an emergency. We booked 3 hotels for our hiking trip and this was the only one that didn't try to accomodate us in some way. I understand their T&Cs are no refunds, but so were the other hotels, and they kindly gave us a partial refund or moved the dates. This hotel also spammed our inbox with several automated/template marketing emails, but don't actually check their own inbox incase of issues. I was also a little surprised to find they had no parking at the hotel, which they clearly advise you after you've booked but is not clear at all pre-booking, which felt slightly misleading. Although we didnt stay, i very much got the feel that this is a corporate chain or large venue whereas the other hotels i communicated with in the similar area gave a much more personal touch.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service
Very nice hotel in a beautiful setting. I didn't think it was worth the money as we had to pay nearly £10 for parking and we had to keep the curtains closed as we were over looked by customers on the terrace. There was also a large crack in the sink that had been there some time. The breakfast was tasty, good quality sausage, but would have liked the option of two slices of bacon or two eggs. We had dinner in the pub. Service was poor, we were left without drinks for over half an hour after our meal and again after our dessert. The chairs were uncomfortable. Overall, we didn't feel very welcome, which is a shame, because we were trying the hotel as a possible destination for our honeymoon, next year.

Good apart from availability of dinner tables

Everything was good at the Hotel except that you said there was no tables available for dinner at 7. To 8pm and when we got there there was plenty of tables available so that was rubbish you need to get your system right

Lovely hotel in a lovely village. Very clean, and we had a very spacious room on the top floor. Note - no lift and no aircon though. Wonderful outdoor patio areas, private resident seating area in the bar which was lovely and the breakfast was superb.

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at the Crown Inn. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was on the small side but it was well equipped and very clean, with a comfy bed too. The ensuite was perfect. We ate ate the Inn and all our meals were good and tasty, especially the breakfast with a good range of options.

Room lacking fridge and windows painted shut except one the kept closing when opened. Bed comfy. Bathroom well apppointed although basin was very low. Had to stoop to use it.
