My stay at The Crown Hotel was excellent, featuring warm hospitality and delicious food
Pros:

Had a really nice stay at The Crown Hotel, the staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure I had a wonderful visit. My room was clean, bright, and spacious. After long days exploring Exmoor National Park, the comfortable bed ensured a peaceful night’s sleep. The restaurant dishes up hearty, delicious home-cooked classics using fresh ingredients. Breakfast was equally good, perfectly fuelling my morning adventure. Situated right by the village green and the River Exe, the location is unbeatable for e-biking. It is a charming country gem, and I will definitely be returning.

Want to come back
Pros:

I stayed with my son in separate rooms for one night only sadly. Lovely old hotel in an excellent village location, great for exploring Exmoor and the coast. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, as were the locals in the bar! The rooms were clean and spacious, the facilities very good. The food was superb. I would definitely like to stay here again, for longer hopefully.

Cons:

Could only stay one night

Good base to explore Exmoor. Our second visit, we will be back again
Pros:

Breakfast excellent. Atmosphere and service in bar very good as was the food although disappointed on Grill night that ribeye and lamb not available. Stairs to second floor quite hard work . Will ask for first floor room next time!

Cons:

Although happy the rooms aren't serviced for a short stay, it would have been nice to have had the bin emptied and tea/coffee etc refreshed.
