My partner & I stayed at the Crowndale (now renamed as the Elgano) for 2 nights in June this year. After booking we were a little worried after reading bad reviews; our worries were releaved as soon as we arrived! We were greeted at the door by a very friendly woman who welcomed as and showed us to our room.... more

I recently stayed with my husband at Crowndale for a long weekend. During our stay my husband unfortunately had a heart attack - the New Proprietors could not have been more helpful, accomodating, considerate or hospitable. There is currently renovation work being undertaken to some public areas but the bedrooms were clean and comfortable with excellent on suite facilities. The... more

Things may be looking up for the Crowndale! We were a party of 8 staying at the Crowndale for the rugby weekend in Feb 2008. Admittedly it looked like a building site when we arrived with no kitchen to speak of but the breakfast paninies were delicious and a very innovating way of feeding the guest too.

If we could have found somewhere else at very short notice we would have moved immediately. When we arrived the owner trooped us through the kitchen. I have... more

Of course,we were answered with "I don't own the place,... more

having read the previous review i feel i must comment. A gruop of 9 mums had saved weekly to watch the rugby international on march 17th 2007, we booked the Crowndale hotel in september over the telephone offering a deposit but told there was no need. We also rang three weeks previous to getting a telephone message left for me... more

After booking this hotel in June 06 (for October 06) via telephone, we rang in August 06 to confirm our group of 9. We offered a deposit but they said they didn't need one. We gave them two telephone numbers. When ringing to confirm check-in time two days before our stay, we were told our rooms had been sold. They... more
