I was aware that they allowed dogs but I didn’t expect to have them in the restaurant at dinner and breakfast. Unfortunately because of this I wouldn’t return. I heard other people complain about them also. The presence of these creatures was bad enough but when one started barking I just wanted to finish my meal and get out.

Stay would have rated excellent but for the hot water supplied was not of an adequate high temperature to enable shower or bath to be used comfortably - disappointing

The marmite test.

Our stay was very good. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We knew the hotel was dog friendly but what we really didn't like were animals in the restaurant. The room next to ours had a dog which yapped. Fortunately it stopped by 9pm. Breakfast was spoilt by a dog barking. Sadly would not return unless policy changes.

Finally the staff!

A great find!! Lovely pub / hotel /restaurant in a beautiful spot. The room was gorgeous with a roll top bath and very comfy bed. The hotel was totally dog friendly- they are allowed everywhere and even get a sausage for breakfast! We ate in the restaurant twice and loved it both times - good portions and great specials. The bar is comfortable with a wide range of cask ales and a great selection of wine. Finally the staff! Everyone was very friendly, helpful and welcoming, they worked long shifts but never dropped their standards. Brilliant! There are a few pubs in the group but would have to do exceptionally well to match The Crown. Thank you.

Our stay was a last minute decision and we were luckily to get a room for too nights. We also had our little dog with us. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfasts was lovey and had a good choice. They even gave our dog a sausage, which he enjoyed. The room was small but clean and tidy. The only draw back is that the room was on the top floor, with a lot of stairs to climb. It seemed extra long in the night when the god needed to go to the toilet. But we managed and it was fine.

A very good hotel and excellent value for money. It is only let down slightly by the quality of evening meals served in its restaurant. Note, the breakfasts were excellent but I will definitely return to try it again.
