Crown Inn  

Having stayed at the Crown Inn previously on two occasions we were looking forward to log fires and excellent food.We were dissappointed.No log fires and whilst dinner was quite good breakfast was poor.I Dont think we will go back.

It is perfectly located in the heart of a charming Cotswold village.

On arrival the 'cleaned' room wasn't! Dirty loo and a stink of wet dog. On pointing this out I was moved to another room however, which wasn't ready. I have stayed in the Crown several times over the years and it has suffered from the trials and tribulations of various managers who never seem to get it right. Come on guys, it could be so good..

A very friendly atmosphere. The bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet and peaceful.

There was no food served in the afternoon

Beautiful old building. Nice bar and resturant menu in the evenings & not too pricey. Very good value for money. Nice spacious room and bathroom. Location very good for access to Cotswolds in general.

Staff at breakfast seemed a little disorganised. Clean towels stacked up in the seating area. Looked untidy. Staff often smoking outside main entrance and hanging around in resturant when not working. Carpet in room needed cleaning. Had several stains on it but had been vacuumed well.

Blockley is a lovely village

Non existent customer service, TV with no remote, Wifi not working, hotel too expensive for what it was

The evening meal in the pub was lovely.

Dirty rooms. First room we were given was not the room we booked. Grimy dirty carpets. No staff. Grimy room. Breakfast not edible. Did not eat it.

We stayed for one night on a Flash Deal. The Receptionist who checked us in was polite and efficient and offfered to have someone take our bags up to the room. General impression of the Hotel is very good, with lots of quirky features that you would expect from a typical 16th Century Inn with uneven floors and beams etc.The room itself (No 14) was clean and tidy and well decorated, the bed was clean and comfortable. There were a few little things which if you were really fussy you might have complained about but nothing that could spoil your stay(if you want perfection go corporate and clinical}. Fabulous little village, great location for exploring the Cotswolds. We would definitely stay there again.

The staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. Slight muddle about the room booked was quickly resolved. The building is interesting and has many period features. There was an unfortunate power outage during the breakfast period on one day but the staff dealt with it positively and without grumbling. The hotel was full but they served everyone cheerfully and we did not feel unduly inconvenienced by the situation.

The approach to the hotel is through the Cotswold village of Blockley through increasingly narrow roads. We didn't have a problem with a biggish family saloon but you wouldn't want to bring a truck! The approach to the car park is up a steep drive. It was fine weather when we were there, but in icy conditions I think it could be difficult - I presume the hotel would grit the access in these conditions, and they have actually posted signs warning of the possibility of slippery surfaces during icy conditions.

Very shabby, in need of updating, bathrooms particually, dressing table mirror needed repairs and no information re hotel in room, could also have done with more milks on tea tray! Breakfast was not good either, tasteless and eggs under cooked ! Expensive for standard of hotel.

Ideal location for our particular needs. Receptionist friendly but overworked.

Decor overall was tired. Our room (19) needed decorating and furniture upgrading. Bathroom needed upgrading.

Friendly and comfortable

Location.

Numerous small things that weren't right. Uncomfortable bed. Poor lighting in the bedroom Broken light in bathroom. Food not as described in the menu. Untrained waitress, lacking social skills. Breakfast precooked and reheated sausages, bacon, mushrooms very watery..Tomatoe unripe. Generally disapponting. We lived in this area many years ago, and it was one of the best hotels around.
