Have stayed here before but the Barn room we stayed in this time was not as good as rooms in the hotel. The heating system was noisy and kept us awake. Service at breakfast was a bit bad but food was nice.

The hotel is such a great location & lovely inside. The cons: no fridge which can be tough if you have a little one. Also, no charge point for electric toothbrushes. Parking is a gamble. There are paid for parking nearby but a shame the parking spots aren’t reserved for guests. Also, we got stung by the breakfast drinks. We didn’t realise until the end how much we were spending on hot chocolates & lattes. I think the hotel should give you a bill at the end of each breakfast so you are made aware exactly how much you are paying for drinks. The hotel staff were very friendly & it was a great stay otherwise.

Lovely clean accommodation. We stayed out of season so parking was not an issue. Staff all super friendly and helpful. Loved the fresh milk provided for our room daily, much better than the usual UHT given at most hotels! Breakfast was fantastic, great selection and service. Would definitely recommend

New year visit.

We went for a three day break after new year. The hotel was slightly busier than we or the staff expected which created a great atmosphere. The hotel is rooms above a restaurant/Pub, neither of which can be heard when you get to your room which was a real pleasant surprise. The residents lounge area at the front of the pub is a great idea, when the log fires are on it really is a great place to relax with a drink and let the dog sleep after a days walking. The bedroom was compact, but very clean & comfortable. The ensuite bathroom (beautifully decorated) is a great size, unlike the bath which was on the small side! The choice of food & drink was superb, lots of fresh ingredients used in the menu. The breakfast was superb, with lots of choice. I have to mention the staff, who from check In to check out were amazing! They are extremely professional and friendly with it. They couldn'tdo more to make you feel very welcome! The village of Pooley bridge is a great base for exploring the Northern area of the lakes. The fact it snowed whilst we were there only added to the villages beauty. We will definitely be returning!

The hotel is a large old inn on the outside, but inside is modern, clean and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and looked after us very well. For example: we were shown to our room on arrival (never had that before) and were a font of knowledge about the various local walks and sights. There is even a map painted on the ceiling of the bar! Restaurant was an excellent source of hearty and freshly cooked meals (breakfasts and dinners). Highly recommend.

Everything about our stay at The Crown Inn was brilliant. The staff were warm, welcoming and the friendly. The hotel, bar and restaurant look great and our room was lovely with modern facilities with nice comfy bed ! We had dinner and breakfast which was delicious - the burger in particular that I had was one of the best that I’ve had. The location is beautiful, a lovely quiet village with great scenery and ideally placed to explore the Lakes. Our only regret is that we only stayed for one night as a stopover on our way to Scotland. We will definitely come back but stay for several nights next time !! We highly recommend.
