“Excellent one night stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Our visit here had been kindly re-scheduled due to a cancellation by us some weeks earlier due to illness.
We arrived before the normal check-in time on a Monday lunchtime when the place is closed, but received a very warm welcome, checked in and shown to our room.
My initial reaction about the room was a little negative, feeling that the decor was a little tired in certain respects, perhaps becoming a little too shabby, shabby chic! Personally I think that a carpet on the floor would have given the room a warmer feel. It should be said that my wife did not particularly agree with me about the decor.
However, we settled in and dined that evening in what is a beautifully decorated bar and restaurant, full of ambience, with lively banter amongst locals and visitors, clearly very happy and enjoying the lovely surroundings.
The local ale was beautiful and the food exceptional, some of the best pub food we have experienced.
Overall, it was a great evening with our host Gillian Hern behind the bar and serving us at our table..
To sum up, we would certainly stay there again but I hope that they can give some time to the rooms and buy a load of gravel to fill the potholes in the drive!

“Quality breakfast!”

Stayed here for 2 nights last week and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Spotlessly clean modern rooms with flat screen multi channel TV. Excellent home cooked food (delicious steak and kidney pudding) and couple of real ales on hand pump. Superb breakfast with top quality bacon, sausage and black pudding on offer. Delicious eggs benedict too. Lovely quiet location, friendly locals and helpful staff. Will I return? Certainly

“Fantastic Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

A group of friends and I decided to avoid the overpriced hustle and bustle of London and look for a traditional English pub to eat and drink the night away in. What was delivered was well above expectation for all of us.
We opted for the sit down festive meal which was three courses of food that should make some of the supposed Michelin starred restaurants of London hang their heads in shame, followed by a night of drinking, dancing and karaoke. At Midnight all the tables were handed Chinese lanterns to set off in the beer garden and that was really the icing on the cake, it was by far the best NYE that I have had. So much so that we have all decided to go back again this year.

With regards to the accommodation, each room is akin to a chalet and they are extremely well equipped, clean and warm. We stayed for two nights and have no complaints at all.

I can't recommend this Inn enough for it's great beer, food and lovely staff.

“Looking forward to going back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

As a small group of couples we booked in to the hotel in the afternoon of New Years Eve. The rooms where lovely, felt like home and had everything we needed. For the evening we had taken them up on their special set menu option. The food was fantastic! The rest of the evening we all felt accommodated by the land lady and her staff. The following morning we had the full English breakfast. We had such a great time that we have already booked another New Years Eve there. We all highly recommend the Crown & Garter.

Room Tip: As for the room in the corner!
