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.

Such an amazing beautiful 700 year old hotel! 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

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

Hotel was clean,staff were friendly but the only food available was breakfast which meant after a 5 hour journey my partner and i had to go and find somewhere to eat . The bar is also only open for a limited time and there's no room service so although a very nice place to stay it does seem like an expensive bed and breakfast

Great hotel on the edge of town. We parked mid day with no problem and the desk is 24 hours so we left everything in the car and checked in just before midnight with no issue. They'd warned us that there was an event on that night but there was no noise or disruption that we could tell. The bed was the biggest I've seen - very comfortable. The shower was great - good pressure and temperature. The only slight negative was the really creaky floor - but that was probably worse for who ever was underneath us.

The exterior of the building is just lovely, unfortunately the room wasn’t. What is the main thing you want to do in a hotel room? Sleep. That’s simply impossible in room 130. Gawd knows why hotels with perfectly good sized rooms put in the smallest sized bed possible. I sometimes wonder if they just hate their customers. But this wasn’t the main issue, we can sleep in a small double bed but not this one. Ever seen The Exorcist? Well the bed in room 130 groans and moans and goes through to your very soul. Any slightest movement and we were in the film, it needs to be dumped or exorcised. The hotel staff either can’t be bothered to test the bed or simply like their guests to suffer. Needless to say, we barely slept. The pillows were uncomfortable. The bathroom: brown water stains on the door, chipped panels and a badly frosted window facing the carpark. The frosting didn’t meet the window frame, there were clear glass areas. Would you trust that people couldn’t see your shape through the glass, as it was right by the shower? Given the state of the bed, I didn’t, so I tried to hang a cardigan at the window. It needs a blind, otherwise it’s just plain creepy. No mirror in the room so I had to stand in the wardrobe to dry my hair, only the door would not open fully because it was badly fitted. Outside our room in the car park are benches, clearly audible hacking cough (poor person!) in our room early morning, maybe move the benches away from rooms so guests don’t hear th

A fun building dating at one end around 1600 and the other 2016. The Tudor bits are wobbly and pokey as you would expect. The modern bits, modern. Helpful staff and a kitchen that poached eggs nicely for breakfast. For a budget option, this is a good stay.

Extremely disappointing stay, nothing like the pictures. Asked for a better room and it was no better. Only the fact that we had already paid with little chance of a refund made us stay. Dirty carpets, broken tiles, needs a complete renewal. Breakfast was good and staff were attentive.

The hotel was amazing, such a beautiful old building, my room was very basic and the bed was far to hard, I really had very little sleep because it was too hard for me with a bad back, the room was very hot even when using the fan provided, this I think was due to the heated towel rail in the bathroom that I was unable to adjust, but otherwise a lovely hotel and staff
