Just had the most marvellous stay at this lovely hotel. Log fires, relaxed and friendly ambience and excellent food - what more can you want. The staff are professional, efficient and incredibly friendly - nothing is too much trouble. The food is superb and presented beautifully and very good value for money. The room was spacious and well designed and... more

Ok, let’s get things straight right from the very start. We won our stay at the Rose and Crown in a charity raffle, the stay was for two nights, bed and breakfast. We decided to wait until we were ready to take the break, which was towards the end of the stay period (between the months of October and March),... more

Have just spent a night at the Rose and Crown for dinner, bed and breakfast and can highly recommend it. Romaldkirk is a beautiful village in a quiet setting. We booked a superior room which was furnished to a very high standard. The staff were very attentive and the food was superb. If I had to complain about anything it... more

We have just returned from a very pleasant break at the Rose & Crown, Romaldkirk. Our room (7) , classed as superior, was beautiful - quiet, very comfortable and view over the village green. We loved the speaker in the bathroom and enjoyed relaxing in a hot bath listening to the selection of CDs. Lovely walks from the village and... more

Have just returned from the beautiful Rose an Crown Hotel in Romaldkirk. Staff are friendly and attentive from check in right until departure. The room was light, airy and spacious with good quality fixtures and an executive feel. Food was superb, both in the restaurant and brasserie. I see another review states the fish was small and disappointing - our... more

We stayed for one night B&B at a cost of £144.00 for two. The room was very small, old formica furniture, no bath only a shower. As another guest has said, only one very small shampoo and shower gel. We had lunch when we arrived - a very tasteless risotta and OK sausage and mash. Paid over £10 for two... more

I cannot praise this beautiful inn enough. From the moment we arrived to the minute we left, we felt cared for and relaxed. The staff are wonderful, the meals sublime. We will go again and we will tell our friends about this maginficent place in a beautiful village. more

My family and friends have been patrons of the hotel for over 30 years, using the bistro on many occasions. Over the last two/three years we have found the attitude, the quality and the portions of food in the bistro to be on a serious decline. Last evening my wife ordered fish at £13.95 for her course, the size of... more

We booked a 2 - night stay with our 9 year old daughter recently. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly from booking right through to departure. The room was comfortable but nothing special. The main disappointment was the food in the Brasserie which did not meet our expectations. Our white wine was served warm, my risotto was served mushed up... more

Had a meal in the bistro with two friends. The attitude from trying to book a table all the way through to paying our bill was terrible. I have often read about this place and wanted to try it. In my opinion it is vastly over-rated with extremely poor service and very indifferent food. Our meal was spoilt by badly... more
