The Crown and Thistle

No review title

The hotel was looking a little tired but was clean.
All staff were pleasant polite and helpful
The restaurant was a nice ambience and thd food was excellent
Our stay was sadly blighted by thd room that we were given thd room was extremely small with a three quarter bed which was cramped by myself and wife the room also had a wash basin which took up the limited space
It's a shame about the room as I don't think we would stay here again solely because thd experience

Great place to stay

We had a fantastic break at The Crown & Thistle, a proper old Coaching Inn, in a great spot in a great little town. Dinner in the restaurant was spot on, lovely food and friendly staff, the room was very nice and cosy. I can highly recommend this place for a stay

Short break

The rooms looked lovely online, we had an offer for a 2 night stay including breakfast and dinner on one night, however, our room was fairly small and dark, the lighting was poor and the heating was a unit on the wall above the bed which was fairly noisy, it also hadn't been on when we arrived so it was freezing in the room. There wasn't a mirror on the wall, just one on the unit which plugged in, so it was a struggle to see in it to dry my hair, there was also a small one above the sink. I had to look in a mirror on the corridor to see if I looked ok on the way out. There was a wardrobe which was spacious and a long shelf with half of it taken with the tea tray and then the mirror so I struggled to put my things anywhere as I didn't have a bedside cabinet, there was only one at the other side of the bed. Most of my things were on the floor beside the bed. The bathroom was nice and spacious and it was a freestanding bath with a shower over which was good. We didn't expect luxury given that it is an old hotel but our room in particular needed some tlc and a bit more thought with regard to drawers/shelf and mirror. I m not even sure we were given the right room as we were asked for our name later on and they also had a different room down when we went for breakfast so I did wonder if the other room would have been nicer. We had dinner in the restaurant on the first night which was excellent as was breakfast and I thought all the staff were really friendly, helpful and nice. It was also in a good location to look round the town and parking was at back of the hotel although it was busy on arrival as it was lunchtime so we had to wait a while to get a space. Overall, we had a lovely time.
