I don't really want to tell you about the Crown. It has been a favourite location of mine for several years. If I say its good the more of you will go and there will be no more room for me to stay. So its good.

Becky United Kingdom

just a very fantastic stay and relaxing. Food and staff first class and very good selection of Wine.

Breakfast in the garden. Dinner in hotel at night. Garden makes this a lovely setting.

The outdoor areas are in a stunning floral display of outstanding beauty and horticultural interest, really unlike anything seen elsewhere. The quality of service, particularly in the restaurant-bar, is way beyond outstanding, really made the wonderful food and wine even more enjoyable.
