Good Hotel and Pub

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 May 2024via mobile
We stayed for one night at the Crown. We booked last minute, so probably got the smallest room. We got a good deal for B&B on Booking. Com (£98).
Although the room was small, it was lovely. It was very clean and had great bits in it, like coffee, teas, biscuits, bottles of water and even a bottle of beer. The shower was great too.

There was a good choice for breakfast, which was served quickly and very nice.

The staff were all polite and on the ball.

I would definitely recommend this hotel and would come again.
Date of stay: May 2024
Room Tip: Book earlier if possible. There is a lovely Mediterranean two minutes walk away.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

    The staff were unfailingly pleasant. The Crown is on a busy roundabout and it is noisy. We never had any hot water in the basin despite speaking to the staff. Breakfast is served in the bar area and the housekeeping staff are vacuuming and cleaning up at the same time! The duvet was very thick and we were far too hot, we had to take the cover off the duvet and use it as a sheet. The bathroom was not cleaned during our two day stay, they just made the bed. Dust balls were under the side table in the room and there was still an auction house sticker on its leg. The evening meal was ok. Should we travel to the area again we will be staying somewhere else!

    Decent pub with rooms, great team, limited menu but something for most people, well coocked and presented. A specials board would be a good addition. Surprisingly good rooms given the age of the building. Would be happy to return if only to enjoy a couple of pints of HSB.

    We went for a family Easter meal.
    The starters were a big disappointment.
    £22 for a sharer of meats and bread and
    olives.
    4 slices of bread , a few picked gherkins, and a few olives , with a few slices of cured meats.
    It should be more around the £10 price.
    We also had the calamari, which was undercooked.
    The mains were nice , we had the roast lamb , but there were not many vegetables on the plate, and only 2 potatoes. If you're paying £22 for a meal, you would expect a decent portion of the trimmings that go with your roast dinner.
    The sevice was OK but not great.
    We had to get the servers' attention quite a few times. To ask for things they had forgotten. And to ask for more drinks ect.
    We were also not asked once if everything was OK with our food.

    Looking for somewhere to eat on our way to Wallop wood, looked at this and the history behind it.
    On visiting did not disappoint, lovely old world pub with numerous rooms that are different than the last.
    Had a lovely lunch and spoke to the Bar staff mentioning the history and how nice it was
    Will visit again Thanks 🙏

    Room tip: Would like to stay next time rooms look amazing

    The warm and festive pub setting was nice but overall the food and service were incredibly poor. The food portions were small and the quality was lacking despite the price. One of our vegetarian dishes came with meat, one of our water glasses on the table had some coloured liquid in it and we had to wait more than an hour between courses.
