We would come back again.
The hotel was in a nice situation ...a lovely village green with a very good shop and also a fish and chip shop, the room was nice however the bed was a little tired, there was no head board and they were mean with the pillows, I guess we could have asked for more but didn't so sitting on the bed was a little uncomfortable, parking was excellent and the actual pub was great with a pretty good atmosphere, the breakfast may have been the best we've ever had and the breakfast room was bright and delightful with friendly staff.

Wonderful
The stay was wonderful everybody was so nice and friendly especially Martin, Karen and Rosie made our stay so nice. Wonderful staff but Martin Stone was our favourite. The only problem was the mattress was very soft and you could feel the springs.

We recently enjoyed a 4 night stay at the Crown Hotel, and we could not fault it. The staff are extremely friendly and the food is excellent, from the choices of the freshly cooked breakfast to the choice, quality and portion sizes of the evening meals.

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.
