Charming old coaching Inn
Centrally located in the town close to the river with free parking. Restaurant was really good - both for breakfast and dinner. Staff in all areas were very friendly and helpful. In general bar/restaurant area was good but hotel area needs some TLC. Had a lovely weekend break here.
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
