The Crown Inn

This charming pub was located on a one way system with car park at the back. Location address should have been for car park - as I am disabled had to park mikes away and walk with bags. Booked in and went to room - nice room basic but adequate for my trip - advised would be leaving early each day. Came back after first night - no clean towels or servicing to room - this continued for whole trip , was expecting some service even if it was emptying rubbish and replenishment of toiletries and tea making facilities. As I arrived back late at night and left early on morning each day there was no means of communicating with main pub. Overall the experience was ok but some service would have made it better.

Would not stay again The reason for my visit was to attend a professional conference being held at a venue nearby. As such things routinely do, the conference was scheduled to begin at 0900. Unfortunately, as I discovered when I checked in, The Crown does not offer breakfast until 10.0am, so I had to leave with no more in the way of breakfast than the complementary sachet of nescafe. Additionally, the standard of maintenance was poor - an electric socket was broken leading to concern of possible accidental electrocution and the shower head holder was broken, making it difficult to have a satisfactory shower, especially when you are as tall as me - 6ft 4in

Room was lovely and clean. Brand new bathroom. Rest of room could do with updating but room was spotless. I had one of the rooms that opened to outside. The door was a little drafty was the only downside so had to turn the heating upto max to stay warm. But would 100% stay again.
