4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

For a country hotel, the crown and castle is rather expensive and so if you are going, it is worth spending the extra for the spectacular view of the sea and estuary. Rooms are very spacious, well-appointed with generous bathrooms. The staff are very friendly indeed and remind one of the wonderful manners the English have!

My husband and I booked 2 nights at the Crown and Castle for a mini "honeymoon" following our wedding. We had only mentioned our wedding in passing when booking the room, some 7 months earlier, but it appeared this fact had been discretely noted! On arrival, we were told we had been given a free upgrade to the "honeymoon" suite,... More

Been to the C&C many times over the past 10 years, this last time stayed in the 'Best Garden Room', which is a row of chalet style rooms in a single line stretching down the garden. Not impressed really - the price is not cheap, and at that level a better room is called for. They can't compare to the... More

Revisited the Crown after a 3 year break and can confirm that the high standards are being maintained. Though only one night this time we were welcomed back on a D.B,&B basis. All lovely, the room was clean and well equipped, the food was as lovely as ever and we particularly like NOT having to get up from our table... More

Returned following an absence of a couple of years for a four night stay over the recent bank holiday weekend. The overall experience was extremely relaxing and enjoyable with high standards in both accomodation and cuisine.The latter was very good the last time around but on this showing has moved further up the gastronomic scale.These remarks apply to dinner and...

We stayed at the Crown and Castle for a couple of days as they were doing a special deal. We loved it; the accommodation was spacious, comfortable and very well-appointed (though curiously you had to provide your own hair conditioner - I've found this is normally one of the standard little bottles in the bathroom). My only complaint is that... More

Thank you so much for your lovely report - we are very grateful to have your endorsement for our food and service. I do understand why you might think it odd that we don't supply hair conditioner (fab Arran grapefruit soap bar, though, I'd hope you agree!). It's simply because it was so rarely used when we did offer it.... More

We went for this hotel because it was best placed for our needs while we were on a walking tour. We were impressed with the quality and cleanliness of the rooms, quiet, comfortable and well appointed. The owners certainly seem to be aiming for a high quality dining experience and we were pleasantly surprised with the ambiance of the atmospheric... More

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the C&C and enjoyed the food and ambience of The Trinity. Glad, too, that you found your room comfortable.. I am sorry we don't have a more extensive beer selection but we are so short of space - there just isn't room for more stock in the bar. We'd love more... More

Stayed and ate at this very welcoming, unpretentious hotel on a Monday night. Despite being a Monday the hotel seemed almost full and can now understand why. The room was lovely, clean, quiet, and had all you need for a comfortable night. The food and service was very good especially the breakfast. Will certainly return.

What a wonderful review - thank you so much. (In case other guests fall in love with the idea of the 'Penthouse' I must just say that it is our 'Suite' - otherwise there might be an expectation that it's 10 floors up!!
