One night stay while we attended a charity ball near by.
Good accommodation, easy check-in.

Initially was given a room in the original part of the hotel which was a very nice old tudor style building and room. Unfortunately I got in and found I had no running water. There was no maintenence person on site so had to move rooms to the annex. This room turned out to be a twin instead of the double I'd booked, so I had to move rooms again. This final room was part of the newer section too, but had paint peeling off the walls in both the bathroom and bedroom, had poor quality windows so the road noise was loud and the bathroom heating wouldn't turn off so it was like a sauna. Overall not a good hotel, but reception did help without fuss.

I can not complain,the only one thing is they don’t serve evening meals etc.
The staff are lovley,especially the barman Mario,very polite guy.
I would definately stay here again,very clean and around 30 carpark spaces with lighting and cctv.

The room was great, including lots of space, a bathroom with bath and shower and his and hers wash basins. and a comfortable fourposter bed.
The bar closes quite ealry (about 10pm when I was there) and there was no restaurant/food service in the evening. The breakfast was excellent.
The area can be a bit noisy with traffic and a railway level crossing nearby but, to be honest, this wasn't noticeable when sleeping
The TV was a bit dated and the remote control probably needs replacing.

Clean room and mattress felt not very new. No dinner available so wasnt particularly clear when rushing to book a hotel for business trip Instant coffee only available and no real coffee for breakfast which was disappointing and sent a poached egg back as was over cooked but corrected swiftly

Its a bit from the town. About 20 walk. The hotel has no restaurant so you have to go to town. Other than that hotel is nice

I enjoyed my stay at the Rose And Crown, I couldn’t fault my room, it was very clean, the bed was comfortable and it had all the usual amenities you would expect. The hotel is historically old and has a quaint character about it, so don’t expect it to be spotlessly clean like the modern, characterless hotels. I would recommend the Rose And Crown to anyone

There was no evening food available. Breakfast the next morning was £15 and very poor. Staff were courteous but slow.
