Good but Basic

Attractive and historic inn in beautiful village. Lovely friendly staff. Pleasant welcoming bar. Room: small and basic but clean and with comfy beds. Small shower but with hot water and large soft towels. Dinner: steak night. One of the steaks was mostly gristle and sinews but the other was okay. The accompaniments were good and the Stilton sauce to die for!! I had ice cream for dessert but the caramel ice cream had obviously been refrozen as it was full of ice crystals. My friend had apple pie which was good. We were asked if the meal was good but the response to anything was just “ Ill let the chef know. “ Breakfast: A good traditional breakfast. Conclusion: Generally good and friendly but basic. Quiet the night we stayed but ear plugs provided for other nights!! Lovely staff and I would stay again.

A Pleasant Stay in Aldbourne.

Upon arrival I was met with a friendly greeting by a member of staff who showed me to my room and provided a full explanation of the facilities. I then went to the bar where I was offered a table in the restaurant. I ordered my dinner, which was delicious. The three bar staff, two woman and a man, were friendly, polite and attentive. I had a good night’s sleep before having a very good breakfast, which was served by a jolly, happy lady. All who were working at The Crown during my stay were excellent ambassadors for the establishment and made my visit memorable. The pub had a great atmosphere, the food was of a high standard and my room was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend it. A sincere thank you to all concerned.

Lovely Stay

This is a lovely old pub. Our room was nice. The staff and landlord were very friendly and the food was great. The rooms are up some steep stairs, which if you have limited mobility may be difficult. Our room was rather noisy whilst the pub is open and a staircase to the upper floor has people thumping up it until past midnight, which woke us in spite of the thoughtfully supplied earplugs. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
