The room was great, including lots of space, a bathroom with bath and shower and his and hers wash basins. and a comfortable fourposter bed.
The bar closes quite ealry (about 10pm when I was there) and there was no restaurant/food service in the evening. The breakfast was excellent.
The area can be a bit noisy with traffic and a railway level crossing nearby but, to be honest, this wasn't noticeable when sleeping
The TV was a bit dated and the remote control probably needs replacing.

Recent business trip
Clean room and mattress felt not very new. No dinner available so wasnt particularly clear when rushing to book a hotel for business trip Instant coffee only available and no real coffee for breakfast which was disappointing and sent a poached egg back as was over cooked but corrected swiftly
I enjoyed my stay at the Rose And Crown, I couldn’t fault my room, it was very clean, the bed was comfortable and it had all the usual amenities you would expect. The hotel is historically old and has a quaint character about it, so don’t expect it to be spotlessly clean like the modern, characterless hotels. I would recommend the Rose And Crown to anyone
Very disappointing, far too much money for a room that is clearly not executive, tiny, shower freezing, not worth the money , no parking despite saying it’s included, stay away from this hotel
