My wife and I have stayed at the Crown a couple of times a year for about ten years. We went back after a gap of about a year or so and were apalled. The refurbishment has destroyed the character of the Hotel. Reception for some reason has been resited in the middle of the dining area. The bar is... more

I had the pleasure tonight of staying to the Crown tonight and felt compelled to burst into print this evening. The hotel has an olde worldly charm with reception located behind a nice big old timber desk rather than a sterile bench. Reception was pleasant and efficient but the real fun started at the bar.
