    The bed was a little soft for me and the shower takes ages to heat up but otherwise nothing to complain about.

    Breakfast was really good with an excellent choice and lovely cooked options, The full cream milk (I assume locally sourced) on each table was a nice touch. Staff could not have been more helpful, and the facilities were good including a plentiful supply of plug sockets which was a bonus in this really old building. It is spotlessly clean and located right next to the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace.

    Breakfast was disapointing after a superb supper.

    Lovely staff, well placed pub with good resturant for an evening meal food in the evening was superb. Breakfast a little disapointing in quality and volume. Love the pub cat. Provison of ear plugs was thoughtful and bed very comfortable. Will visit again.

    The room was far too hot. This is the second time have stayed at the Crown(had same room, room 4 at front).And both times the room has been too hot. Turned heating off as soon as possible and had windows open all of stay.

    Located in centre of city. Was able to walk to All the Hot Fuzz filming locations.Staff very friendly. Able to park at property.

    Unfortunately our room was over the bar and the music could be heard in our room. Fortunately we didn't want to go to sleep before 11pm. This didn't affect our opinion of our stay. Earplugs were provided because of the Saturday market and we didn't hear a thing

    Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was very good. The pub was very lively and popular with a great atmosphere.

    Water pressure in the shower was a bit low, but not unusable.

    We had a lovely room at the front of the building. It is an old building, with the usual creaking floorboards as expected. The windows are single glazed so noise from the outside can be heard, especially with the market stalls being set up. However if you are warned about this, which we were, then it's not really an issue and adds to the whole experience of the accommodation. Location to visit the Cathedral and Bishops Palace and of course the market is perfect, you're right in the middle of the City. Breakfast is delicious, well cooked local produce with the added selection of cereal, croissants, fruit. We ate in the restaurant on our first night and the food was lovely too. Overall we had a lovely experience and would definitely return.

    Nothing really. Just be aware that it is a stunning centuries old building so the bathroom is not modern but it has all the basics, the floor cracks in very few places as you walk around and I loved it, it adds to the atmosphere. Could not see an hair dryer though... maybe something to add if there isn't?

    Great atmosphere. Lovely staff despite being very busy at the pub, they were running back and forth, hard working people but were still welcoming. Perfect location. My room was extremely quiet, could not hear a thing from the pub or the market square but I was in a top floor room.(except when the Easter bells went on for over an hour, but this is just an Easter thing) One of my clients could hear a bit of noise for a little while but it went all quiet after closure, except for the ghost in her room 😃 The location is stunning. I had room 12 which made me feel like a male version of Belle in Beauty and the Beast with its decor and the stunning views of the market square and the cathedral, just wanted to sing' Bonjour' from the movie when I woke up. The beds a cosy and comfortable. Room 1, the one my client said was haunted by a lovely ghost, was absolutely stunning. Get that room for the fun of it. The breakfast is good, you can order an English/vegetarian/avocado on toast if you wish and there is a small buffet with bread, croissants fruits coffee/tea and juices, marmalades and Co if you don't want the hot food. There is tea coffee and water in the room. Price was typical UK price, but we'll worth the money. I own a hiking business and will be back.

    The plumbing isn't the greatest but that's not unexpected for an establishment that predates by centuries running water and drainage.

    A comfortable stay in a Grade 2 listed 15th Century Inn in the heart of England's smallest city The Gothic Cathedral, Bishops Palace and Town Museum are all within a short stroll. The hotel has a reasonable restaurant and a bar serving local real ales and cider.

    Our room. We booked a double and received what appeared to be a lovely spacious double but on sitting down realised it was two singles pushed together with king-size bedding. This resulted in a hard ump down the middle of the bed and us a little achy in the morning. Spoke to reception and were told there was nothing they could do as they were fully booked. Gutted as we had booked a few weeks before and there were plenty of rooms free then!

    Location fantastic. Spacious room. Friendly staff on check in. Very atmospheric

    There wasn't enough hot water in the morning. The bathroom and room facilities are a little tired, but the price paid reflected this.

    Breakfast was plentiful and freshly cooked. All the staff were friendly and keen to help, giving a nice ambience. Great location and a very historic building. We enjoyed our stay.
