Hotel and our room were clean albeit a bit tired and could do with a bit of TLC. We have a dog and this hotel is very dog friendly, ate an excellent meal in the bar in the evening and a nice breakfast in the dining room. Staff were excellent throughout, only downfall was the road up to the car park through an archway and then a very bendy narrow road upwards and the car park itself which could be challenging for some.

Nice little hotel in the quiet village without trouists. People are very mince as well as the staff. A lots of birds are singing in the morning like camping site. The building is old so walk softly. If living in the top floor, it shouldn't be a problem.

A shadow of what was!

Was greeted warmly by staff, and after going through registration was escorted to my room, which was ancillary to the main hotel building, which was a disappointment from the get-go. The room was in what reminded me of a converted outhouse. Everything you expect from a hotel was there, a bed, en-suite shower room, coffee making facilities, towels and complimentary toiletries. The room boasted a largish flat TV. What was missing in my view was a chair and a bedside light. There was a stool for the vanity mirror, but sitting having a coffee in the room would have to be done on the bed. This was a large single occupancy with a double bed and very little room to move around it. Compact would suitably describe it. However for the money in the area it was good value. Wifi is offered, didn't have a device to try it. The room rate included breakfast, continental or Full English. The Full English was served to order, and I noticed that their was a significant difference in the breakfast regarding time of arrival, i.e. the sooner after service started , the hotter the food served. The breakfast items were OK, nothing special. Like all hotel restaurants they could do better, a mixture of under and over cooked items on the same plate. The coffee served was not to my taste. They have recently re-introduced real ale to their drinks menu, the dining menu didn't appeal but mirrored the online version except for price. Would I stay there again? Probably, but would opt for a room only tariff.

Great hotel ideally located to explore the area

We had a lovely relaxing break. The hotel was proper olde worldy, lots of period features and interesting layout. Being a very old property, some parts could benefit from a refresh. However, the place was clean, warm and cozy. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and plentiful. Especially good was the Sri Lankan set meal.

If you a doubt just book it you won’t be sorry!

It is an incredible stay. Blockley is an amazing walking town. The Crown is clean and affordable. The best part is the staff! Amazing and extremely professional. Breakfast was amazing! Great place for dinner and a pub. The stories the local tell are a lot of fun! And Father Browns church to boot!

Nice short break

Could not fault the hospitality from the staff. Very helpful, and polite. The room had character and was quirky, hence the squeaky floor. Good breakfast, but my egg was so overcooked that I couldn’t see the yolk! Overall, just needs a bit of TLC

A well priced gem in a beautiful spot.

This hotel is excellent value for money especially considering the beautiful area it is in. It’s a bit tired in places and the rooms could do with some updating….but the price reflects this. However, it was spotlessly clean. The breakfast offered was good quality and plentiful. Evening menu was excellent and superbly cooked. Staff were brilliant….courteous, friendly and efficient. Would definitely stay here again.

Blockley is a picturesqe corner of the Norther Cotswolds and there is something so charning about staying above a pub. The Crown Hotel was warm and inviting, with simple but comfortable rooms which were perfect for an overnight stay.
