The Crown Inn - By Blunt Bars

Parking is road side ..but safe...I stayed one night only...rooms are spacious,clean.

Staff were great. However, beds were really unconfirmed as the mattresses were really thin and squeeky on metal, spring bases. The room hsd a very string smoky smell which was definitely not a one off. The carpet was old and smelly. I used a baby wipe on part of the walls and you can see that they desperate

ok

What can I say. Horrible place with horrible staff. Arrived for a 1 night stay with 2 small children. We were advised 24 hours before our stay that there would be live music, however as both the pubs website and Google state the bar is only open until 10pm this didn't appear to be an issue. Arrived to check in and they didn't have a key for our room. Waited over an hour for a key to be provided. The room was grubby (room 2) and looks nothing like the photos advertising it. 1. Wall paper peeling off the walls 2. In general just wasn't clean.... Had a really grotty feeling to it. 3. Shower door was broken and did not close 4. Numerous blotches of black mould throughout the room and bathroom 5. Fireplace full if cobwebs and just generally grim.... God knows when it was last actually used but didn't look like it had been cleaned for years! 6. Bedroom door lock was broken and the door barely closed. Breakfast. Do not tick for breakfast!! Breakfast is advertised as being a selection of cereal, fresh pastries, fresh fruit and cereal bars. We were given 4 stale pastries and a couple of small boxes of cornflakes. Come the morning the 4x crossionts were rock solid and inedible. I asked the female manager if we could have some fruit as advertised and cereal bars again as advertised and she advised they didn't have any. No refund offered on the additional breakfast charge which was pathetic and not provided. Milk is in a communal mini fridge in the hallway outside the rooms.....

The bed was really comfy and the room went above and beyond for what I paid. Coffee Machine, cereal and a croissant. Slept really well. They also let me check in Early.

Booked through Expedia, the info and photos are well out of date. The photos show beer on handpumps but they are no longer in use. "Breakfast for a fee" is replaced by cereal and croissants in the room. No hot food available in the morning. There was no DVD player as listed, which we wanted for a particular reason. "Daily Housekeeping" didn't happen as no-one came into the room during our stay. I had to take our dishes to the kitchen and collect clean ones. None of the 3 lamps worked in the room and we had to wait to have them all replaced and we had to ask for the heating to be turned on as it is on a timer. None of this good for a man having treatment for cancer, travelling to attend a funeral. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the snacks we had in the evening were nice. In my opinion, this is accommodation for workmen.

I like it because it was clean tidy and the staff were brilliant

Great staff great beer and great food!!

Damp,smelly green mould

Nice stay
