    We had a last minute change to our accommodation requirements whereby I needed to add my grandchildren into our room. As we had a sofa bed within the room the manager readily organised. No fuss - just "yes we can" - so refreshing. Also gave us a parking space, All staff were so helpful and delightful, Absolutely pleasure. No hesitation to return or recommend. Dinner and Breakfast were excellent.

    The staff were so welcoming and helpful from start to finish. The Crown Inn, is well located and is very charming. An excellent combination of traditional with a modern twist. The food was excellent, especially the breakfast. We stayed in room 17 which was on the top floor and had beautiful views of the lake. All in all, our stay was everything we could have wished for and we will definitely be back.
