The Rose & Crown

Honest review to be fair to all. - On arrival no welcome / hello - Shown room 4 - Very very small - Garden view.... If you bend your head out of window and look right you will see a very unkempt area. - Extraction fan noise all day until 10pm and restarts at 8am - No breakfast information verbally or in room - Booked evening meal - sold out of starter so opted for bread with oil which was part baked crap - awful. Olives did not arrive. - 1 hour 20 minutes later still no main course - Breakfast OK but clearly left under lights as dry and hard. Coffee 🤮 - Bedding and towels excellent and clean - Shower awful - hot then cold and NO power - Staff really not interested in their guests - Bedside light broken - would not stay here again

Stayed on a Friday night, had a drink in the bar before going up to bed. No problem at all with noise from the pub below, didn't hear a thing! The room was spotlessly clean, lovely quality bedding and towels, comfortable bed. Staff very pleasant. Excellent full English breakfast. Only possible criticism is that the room was on the small side, but it is a centuries old building which has been adapted to create en-suite bathrooms, so you are bound to sacrifice a little space off the bedrooms. Would definitely stay again. Very good value for money and very handy for visiting Batemans, formerly Rudyard Kipling's home, now National Trust.
