The Crown Stoke By Nayland

Generally a very positive experience. Lack of seating in room was a bugbear plus the fact that there was only one outdoor lounger when the room is clearly meant for two people. Very nice and friendly service, good food and wine if a little on the expensive side. Despite the above, would definitely stay again.

We will not stay anywhere else but the Crown we cannot find one fault at all. Rob the staff the food and the rooms are all excellent and we are made to feel so welcome. Thanks for another wonderful stay Team Crown x Carole , Stuart & Cooper

Had a lovely night great food great room staff where brilliant .see u soon that for sure 😊 definitely one of our favourite places to come and relax

Stayed at Foxglove lodge for 3 nights and dined at the crown. We were blown away by the quality of food and comfort and peach of the lodge. Such a remote and beautiful countryside with many places to walk. Manager was really helpful, gave us a map and everything. We will definitely be back 100% - my only wish… was that I want to live there now 🤣

I cannot stress how helpful and considerate our waitress and the chef were in accommodating my food intolerances. I was made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. The service and food was excellent and the apple tarte tatin was amazing! And our dogs were welcomed too!

Disappointing. This used to be my favourite place to eat but I doubt I will be going again. I ordered a burger which was tasty but arrived with what I would describe as frozen mass produced straight cut chips, no garnish whatsoever. My burger looked somewhat lost on the plate I can only describe it as a minimalist meal. My dark chocolate gateau promised to be a delight but again although tasty was no bigger than a Kipling sponge pudding and was a whopping £11. The ambiance has changed, it was loud due to groups of drinkers a far cry my the sophisticated environment for a family meal it once was. Not worth the money whatsoever.

Been here a lot of times over the years but today was disappointing.I appreciate they advertise as a dog friendly establishment but I feel when you book you should have the option to be seated away from tables with dogs.We went for a Sunday roast & we had dogs on every table around us.I know we’re the rare people that don’t have pets but when your trying to eat you meal & there’s a table next to you letting there dog eat of their plate,I don’t really think that’s nice when your out for a nice meal..Love the pub but disappointed.

4 stars for room etc. but only 1 star for evening meal. Celebrating my 70th birthday, had been to The Crown before, this time we booked one of the new lodges which was lovely. Nice warm friendly gentleman greeted us and showed us to the lodge. Unfortunately the evening meal was a let down. Undercooked rubber scampi and salt on chips which wasn't shown on menu, and I am on a low salt diet so was very disappointed with the whole meal. Waiter was very good offered to have a new meal cooked but I declined. Breakfast was very good, pity the previous days meal wasn't as nice.

We stayed here for the night doing the bed, dinner and breakfast package for our anniversary. We were welcomed by a lovely lady called Fran that showed us to our room. Room was lovely a big! Fridge and fresh coffee. There was a fan, iron and hairdryer provided. Our room had beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Bed was really comfortable. Dinner, the had a good choice of food and had specials up on the board. Our drink order were done so fast we were very impressed. Food was amazing no issue found at all! Breakfast- had a breakfast table with cold items which was great and then you could order from the menu. Had there full English which was really good! Fresh and good quality produce. My only issue that I found and it nothing major but a suggestion to look at it actually having a reception desk. Loved it here and we will come back as we would like to stay in the lodges at some point!

It was a busy Saturday night and we were shown to our booked table. There was a mix up with our drinks order which delaye the final delivery. 3 0f us had the sea bass and out of the 3 dishes I received the smallest. I chose not to complain as it was busy. for £24 I expected more than a small half fillet.
