We expected better from a 4 star hotel
Pros:

Decor and size very pleasing when entering hotel!

Cons:

Stairs, our second day the lift wasn’t working.
Air conditioning wasn’t working in bedroom or extractor fan in the bathroom - very disappointing!
A small room fan was provided!

Lovely but stuffy bedroom and sleep challenge was disappointing
Pros:

Beautiful building , centrally located. Great food and excellent service.

Cons:

Our bedroom at the top of the building was incredibly stuffy and there was only one modest fan. It was challenging to sleep.
When we mentioned this at check out the response wasn’t great !

Nostalgisches Hotel in zentraler Lage
Pros:

Schönes, altes Hotel, zentral im kleinen Ort. Zimmer sind schön. Allerdings sind die Zimmer zur Straße sehr laut, da hier direkt vor der Tür der Durchgangsverkehr für den ganzen Ort durchfährt. Es gibt eine Klimaanlage. Das Frühstücksbuffet bietet full englisch Breakfast, aber auch Joghurt, Müsli, Obst und Wurst und Käse. Sehr schöner Gartenbereich mit gemütlichen Sitzecken. Parkplätze stehen ausreichend zur Verfügung.

Cons:

Durchgangsverkehr direkt vor der Tür, schlafen geht nur mit geschlossenem Fenster.

Lovely historic hotel in a great location! would recommend!
Pros:

Lovely old building with lots of character, and plenty of parking in the centre of town. Friendly polite staff and a nice garden and lounge for cocktails from the bar. Very comfortable Bed and pillows, excellent shower. Excellent full English breakfast, and other options, gluten free toast available on request too.

Cons:

No Air conditioning which is understandable as its a historic building so certainly not a complaint, just something to be aware of when booking during a heatwave! A Fan was in the room which helped!

Overall the room, staff and ambience was lovely
Cons:

The cooked breakfast wasn't remotely hot - the self serve plates were not hot and the hot food was marginally warm which was so disappointing as there is no excuse for a cooked breakfast to be offered this way. The only offering that retained some heat was the baked beans!

The artisan white loaf of bread offered when self serving (cutting) was too crumbly when being toasted therefore had to resort to another bread on offer.

Comfortable night
Pros:

Great location, friendly helpful staff, small bit comfortable room, very nice

Cons:

Be g on the 3rd floor, although a lift, old gated, if left open was unable to call, also staff using it for linen made the wait somewhat longer, not great if you have a physical disability!

Would not recommend if you want to have a relaxing stay.
Cons:

When I’m on vacation I want to feel welcomed and unbothered. The receptionist had the worst vibes. She was very rude and unfriendly.

Cons:

Terrible experience. Rude staff from the start.
A misrepresentation of the location, you think it's set on lovely grounds and quite, it's right on the noisey high road.
Breakfast is diabolical, and don't ask for help with towels, etc, as you'll waiting forever!
Never again!

Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay at the Crown Hotel.
Pros:

Great hotel, in a great location, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Lovely four poster bedroom, with good tea & coffee facilities in the room. Clean, and spacious.

Cons:

The four-poster bed felt structurally quite unsteady, which affected my confidence in using it. The toilet lid was also broken and should be repaired or replaced. At breakfast, only filtered coffee was available; I would have appreciated the option of a cappuccino, as that is my preferred choice.
