Lovely return visit

Third time staying here and as ever it was fantastic. Requested a room nearer the pub ad my husband has walking difficulties and got our favourite Room 1. Wonderful meal the beef cheeks were excellent. Superb service from every member of staff. Our only criticism which i have fed back directly is we dont like the milk sachets used on the drinks tray in bedroom does not match the standard of the bedroom would prefer fresh milk perhaps in a small flask

Nice stay

Nice stay once again, it’s our 3rd time visiting Our evening meal was delicious & only thing that would have made the trip perfect was the face there wasn’t no bacon sandwich available for breakfast.

Set in a rural location, this is a quaint pub with accommodation. We stayed one night; room and bathroom was very clean and all that we needed. Loved the walk in shower. Breakfast was good, staff friendly.

This is the second time we have been to the Crown and Garter. We went because the area is quiet and we wanted to explore a bit more. Staff are friendly and chatty, food is good and the ambiance relaxing. The courtyard garden is beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. I’d recommend a stay here.
