We recently enjoyed a 4 night stay at the Crown Hotel, and we could not fault it. The staff are extremely friendly and the food is excellent, from the choices of the freshly cooked breakfast to the choice, quality and portion sizes of the evening meals.

Quiet friendly hotel.

Nice room, quiet and comfortable, though a little small if sharing. Good breakfast from welcoming and friendly staff. Nice village location. Plenty of private parking, short distance from hotel and some in front.

We've stayed here before as it's handy for the Red Rooster Festival at Euston Hall. The staff are very helpful and the rooms comfortable and spotless. The breakfast priovided is excellent; very good quality ingredients. Also nice that the hotel is not far from major road network but not on a busy road. Would recommend it and would stay again.

Dinner was delicious! Bed was super comfortable and staff were so friendly and helpful... even gave us a small jug of fresh milk for our room. Suggestion: would have been nice if there were some board games/cards in the pub to pass our time. There was a dart board but tables were infront of it. But overall, lovely stay and would definately stay again!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Quality of food was excellent only spoilt by constantly swatting flies away. Parking seemed a free for all for local residents as well. No designated parking for paying guests.

This was another return visit to this wonderful warm and friendly pub/hotel. This time i was accompanied with my daughter/we came up up to celebrate my friend's birthday and celebrate my daughters acceptance to University. As before the rooms we had were clean and comfortable the staff were helpful/friendly and the whole evening was brilliant. Truth be told we came up for the fantastic food served at the restaurant-we all had steak which was perfectly done and dessert-was definately worth the short ish journey up from Essex. What better than having a nice meal then stopping over for the night and back in the morning ..this place is perfect for that. There are plenty of rooms to cater for a large family or a solo traveller. I said i would return last time here....and will again...Great value for money. A great short gettaway was had by us all. A decent breakfast also considering its included in your stay.
