Spent two nights at the Crown & Castle. Booked the "best garden room" for £155 a night and asked to be moved after the first night. This was done immediately. The reason being we were surrounded by "dog" rooms. Nothing against dogs but can get noisy, so check when booking. We were put in the best room (I presume) in... more

My wife and I have just stayed for the fifth year running at the Crown and Castle, each time for three nights or more. On our most recent visit everything was well up to standard, refurbished garden room delightfully bright, food excellent in every respect, real tea at breakfast which included all the best options of juices, cereal, fruit and... more

I enjoy watching Ruth Watson's "Hotel Inspector" programmes and wanted to try her own place to see what it is like. My and my partner's birthdays are only a few days apart and we decided to make a joint birthday break somewhere different. Location is idyllic! Orford is charming and has lots of character. We like the local buildings which... more

We have just returned from a very delightful stay at the Crown and Castle which we only booked two days before we arrived. The weather was very good and the hotel and staff were outstanding. The food could not be faulted (with lovely touches unseen in other hotels, eg. no sliced bread) and although a previous review said it is... more

I stayed here 2 weeks ago and must defend the staff after the comments made by the previous reviewer. They are clearly well trained and were at all times and without exception helpful and pleasant; in fact they were friendly, without being intrusive. This is the hotel's biggest plus point. The hotel is clean, quite nicely presented, the rooms well... more

Great food, clean room, delightful setting, but...........just lacked a certain je ne sais quoi! I understand the whole ethos of being left to soak it all up and unobtrusive service, but it just made it all rather anodyne. We desperately wanted to throw our money over the bar, but had to keep asking for more drinks and yes it would... more

On arriving at the hotel I was met with a friendly, helpful receptionist. I was disappointed in the what appeared to me to be a hard sell from Ruth Watson who bombarded me with questions about where we would be eating. Flogging her restaurant and the Kings Head as potential eateries, running off menus while she was still speaking, confusing... more

The first view of the hotel is a little offputting; it looks slightly dilapidated but we were greeted very warmly and efficiently in the reception office, housed in an out building. We were travelling with our dog. Having lived in Switzerland for many years, where dogs are welcomed in all hotels, it was good to find such an outstandingly dog... more

Spent a very pleasant weekend here in one of the 'best doubles' in the main house. Lovely room with great views.The room was well appointed with some nice touches. Slight problem with the room being directly over the kitchen and the accompanying aromas( as nice as they were and certainly not like being over a fast food joint !) were... more
