We booked this very much at the last minute and the only room they had was a four poster, which we generally hate (dark, overpriced, aimed at American tourists). The bed was indeed fairly dark – couldn’t read in bed without moving the bedside lights. But the room itself was very nice – refurbished, large and light, flat screen TV,... more

We spent a long week-end in Stamford at the Crown Hotel, which has been refurbished fairly recently. Our room was comfortable and stylish, without being frighteningly chic, with an up-to-the-minute bathroom. The lounge is quite small but, again, pleasantly presented with new stone flagged floors and brown leather furniture. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. Other people have commented... more

Upon arrival, we were suitably impressed with the location. The receptionist was friendly. However, we were slightly taken aback to learn that our room was in the "townhouse", which happened to be a separate building approx. 200 yards from the main hotel building. Our room was on the top floor, accessed via two very narrow, winding staircases. This room is... more

We were recommended this hotel by the owners of The George, as that establishment was full for the weekend. We paid £100 for a double room. The room was fine, with reasonable space and a (smallish) wall-hung TV. The bathroom was fine, with a good bath, although many of the furnishings were a bit cheap. The main problem was noise.... more

We had tried to book a room at the George, where we have stayed before. They told us they were full so we called the Crown who offered us "a room in the cottage". As we drove into town past the George we were surprised to discover that they had a sign hanging out saying they had rooms. Their loss... more

I booked their town house for 1 night - the 18th August for my family to stay together for a family wedding . I didn't want to stay in a hotel so i booked months in advance and checked several times with their manager that all was in order. I was disgusted to find on arrival our booking could'nt be... more

We stayed on a Friday & Saturday in August and experienced the same problems as some of the other clients who posted their reviews. The room we booked was described as deluxe however the decor would only appeal to the minority ... turquoise and silver wallpaper, red velvet curtains with silver chains! All too hectic and strident - not restful.... more

A colleague and I have been doing some business in town, that requires us to inhabit this lovely hamlet at least once a month. We have tried many of the major hotels in town (as well as every restaurant). We now exclusively stay at the Crown. It is a very welcoming place (the staff always goes out of their way... more

The Crown is located very close to the High Street walking mall, and is close to numerous restaurants and pubs. The very friendly and well-appointed bar seems to be on the "pub trail" in town, so is frequently busy and always fun. My colleagues and I travel on business to the area frequently, and stay at the Crown whenever we... more
