Very friendly welcome, nothing too much trouble. Staff made sure that the chef was aware of our late arrival so that evening meal could be provided.

Cons:

As blinds were fitted we coud not tell that the window was open, traffic noise was loud during the night.

FAB stay, would stay again, all staff very friendly.
Pros:

The staff, room and location were perfect for us. The room had a fan as the weather was hot, the shower was excellent.

Unfortunately because the hotel is in the town and on a main road you can hear some traffic noise.

We liked it, and staff excellent.
Pros:

Great breakfast. Great room and shower. Good location, middle of town, only downside, room by main road which is sometimes a bit noisy. Not unexpected as it is mentioned on site.

Cons:

As above.

Pros:

Was allemaal erg goed, nieuw denk ik. Heel comfortabel.

Cons:

Smorgens om 7 uur werden de bierfusten gelost direct naast de Crown. Was wel wat vroeg wakker worden. Verder alles prima.

Good.
Pros:

The staff here are all very friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. The room was spacious and comfortable. Food in the pub restaurant was very good.

Cons:

It was a bit overpriced for one night's stay. Also the bathroom window would not open. The bedroom window opened from the bottom only ( sash window), but as the room was right next to a busy road/pavement, it was not possible for security reasons to leave it open all night. Hence it was quite hot. The traffic on road was very noisy most of the night too. So did not sleep well.

Terrific local pub/ hotel with great staff, good food and welcoming style.
Pros:

What a gem of a place. This lively and well patronised pub/hotel was just the place for a stay in this picturesque town. Though part of a chain, it was very individual and chracterful. The room was excellent with high quality fittings and furniture- great bathroom and very comfy bed and very clean. We had dinner there and the food , though pub fare, was well presented and tasty. But for us the staff made the stay really enjoyable. What a team- efficient and friendly and always with a sense of 'can do'. A really nice stay and couldn't recommend enough

Cons:

Our room was on the 'road' side of the building so it was a little bit noisy ( as it was a hot day/evening- so we had the window open) but it would not put us off from staying here again.
