Great hotel ideally located to explore the area

We had a lovely relaxing break. The hotel was proper olde worldy, lots of period features and interesting layout. Being a very old property, some parts could benefit from a refresh. However, the place was clean, warm and cozy. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and plentiful. Especially good was the Sri Lankan set meal.

If you a doubt just book it you won’t be sorry!

It is an incredible stay. Blockley is an amazing walking town. The Crown is clean and affordable. The best part is the staff! Amazing and extremely professional. Breakfast was amazing! Great place for dinner and a pub. The stories the local tell are a lot of fun! And Father Browns church to boot!

Nice short break

Could not fault the hospitality from the staff. Very helpful, and polite. The room had character and was quirky, hence the squeaky floor. Good breakfast, but my egg was so overcooked that I couldn’t see the yolk! Overall, just needs a bit of TLC

A well priced gem in a beautiful spot.

This hotel is excellent value for money especially considering the beautiful area it is in. It’s a bit tired in places and the rooms could do with some updating….but the price reflects this. However, it was spotlessly clean. The breakfast offered was good quality and plentiful. Evening menu was excellent and superbly cooked. Staff were brilliant….courteous, friendly and efficient. Would definitely stay here again.

Blockley is a picturesqe corner of the Norther Cotswolds and there is something so charning about staying above a pub. The Crown Hotel was warm and inviting, with simple but comfortable rooms which were perfect for an overnight stay.

Amazing historical building in the Cotswolds (dating back to 16th century). Staff is kind and helpful. Was greeted warmly and shown to our rooms. The bar is quaint and welcoming. Restaurant is fine. Windows are an incredible example of time period. Hotel needs work. Paint is peeling, rooms need to be painted (chipped paint, nails left on walls from previous hangings, pictures hung in strange places (partly behind bed?). Collection of spider webs in various parts of the hotel (one pic included) All this, but we would stay again due to location & to see improvements. The views are amazing!

We loved visiting Blockley, as it was the least commercialized town that we visited in the Cotswolds and f you are visiting Blockley this is the place to stay. The room was great and the food, both dinner and breakfast were great as well.

Restaurant closes at 9pm

I arrived just before 9pm, checked in, went down for dinner, around 9.06, only to be told that they finish serving. I had driven a long way and was starving, i was only 6 minutes late, people were still eating in the restaurant, In sure tbey could have knocked something together for me.
