I stayed here last night and I think I encountered the same bar maid as the guests who reviewed back in August 2012. Having read the reviews on trip advisor I prepared myself for the worst, expecting carpet stained rooms and dodgy lights and bathroom fittings but was fine with this given I got a good deal on late rooms....

My husband and I decided to try our luck at the crown on a late Sunday afternoon. They had stopped serving their Sunday roast but were kind enough to throw one together for us and we were so glad they did! As a chef myself I am always on the look out for new eating holes in the surrounding area... More

1st of all let me say how great the pub is, a listed buiding with character, great beers, great staff, great locals. Food in the Restaurant area is FANTASTIC and DELICIOUS. However, the rooms leave a lot to be desired. We booked a double room with a bath (there is only one with a bath) as we were staying 2... More

Fortunately for the Crown Inn I have close friends who live directly opposite and it's a very convenient place to stay. Unfortunately it means I will again write here about the failings of what could be a lovely village pub. Once again, while the room was clean on the surface it looked dated and the carpet was grubby and worn.... More

My husband and I stayed in a local B&B which was within walking distance to the Crown so I can only comment on the food. Food and service there was good and we had an enjoyable evening. I ordered a rump steak and although there seemed to be some confusion over where the steak originated (the waitress explained Oxford, the... More

Stayed in the hotel for one night. Room was clean and bed comfortable but the decor is very shabby throughout. Our carpet looked as though someone had been sick on it with lots of stains. The shower was useless, no TV, no hairdryer and very noisy but paying £50 for 2 people should you expect more? Barmaid was very rude... More
