+ The Hotel is stunning inside and out! This is my second visit to The Crown it really does feel quite special. The decor has been very thoughtfully considered, period features have been reinstated or sympathetically preserved and newer additions totally compliment the Georgian charm without feeling stuffy or too 'over designed'. The four poster bed was a wonderful addition to our rather huge room and looked perfect alongside the older furniture. I loved the way that the teal blue painted floorboards had been allowed to chip and wear to show the wood underneath. The bed was SUPER comfortable and the bathroom with the copper tub felt rather decadent. Value for money is outstanding. All of the staff members were so friendly and most helpful. The full English Breakfast was delicious as well as the best Pasteis de Nata custard tarts I've eaten outside Portugal. Highly recommended and set in such beautiful scenery.

- The beds were a bit creaky, we had to stay very still so as not to wake each other up! 😁 We arrived really late at night and the man who met us was lovely. A lady then arrived and started talking over him, with a hard sell for the breakfast which was a shame as we were so tired it was slightly overwhelming and therefore we didn’t book breakfast.

+ The hotel is in a central location and has excellent parking facilities. Check in was friendly and efficient, the room was clean and comfortable. There was a pleasant bar environment and excellent draft beer was available.
− The bathroom extractor fan seemed to be controlled remotely and so could not be linked to when the bathroom was actually in use. In addition, the fan was very noisy. The Crown in obviously a 'working' pub and so there was a certain amount of noise coming from the yard below our room. This was not especially intrusive.
