We've stayed here before as it's handy for the Red Rooster Festival at Euston Hall. The staff are very helpful and the rooms comfortable and spotless. The breakfast priovided is excellent; very good quality ingredients. Also nice that the hotel is not far from major road network but not on a busy road. Would recommend it and would stay again.

Wonderful to be able to stay in very comfortable, well maintained and spacious 17th Century accommodation. The Crown Hotel is the hub of the village. My room at the back overlooked the garden and rooftops so noise was minimal. Food was cooked to order, the included breakfast was marvellous with an excellent choice of hot and cold options including plant based ‘milks’. There was a good evening menu with very substantial servings. The only downside was the lack of vegetarian options. All the staff were very polite, friendly and happy in their work.

Would definitely stay again, thank you The Crown.

Venue is perfect for anyone visiting the surrounding area. It's nice to stay in a place that's got some character about it. The room we had was in the Coach House and was a little tired but perfect for what we needed and the bathroom was clean. Breakfast was good and a few variations for people to try (the full english was great). The staff were friendly and approachable (especially William in the dining room and Siobhan in house keeping), although when they had a function on in the pub it did prove difficult for hotel guests to get a drink. But equally, with so many of our traditional pubs disappearing from our towns and villages, it was nice to see it busy (so may be just an extra staff member might have helped that night). Being a lovely older building, there are a lot of stairs to access a lot of the property, which was fine for us, but might be a little difficult for people with mobility issues. But overall, great place and would definitely stay again in the future.

Quaint with Character

If you like the sterile consistency ,of most hotel chains The Crown is not for you. Quaint and with character is the style of The Crown with good food good service with a smile and at a good price. In a quiet little village by the small green, a lovely little hotel. I would definitely recommend.
