Really enjoyed our stay at the crown. All staff were so lovely and helpful. We only booked to stay here to be local to reading festival but almost didn’t go to the festival because we wanted to relax here instead!

Venue is a beautiful country pub, excellent location for a family wedding. A real rustic feel with lots of little areas. Food in the restaurant very nice. Rooms very clean and good towels. Breakfast was simple but tasty. Only down side, rooms incredibly hot so would benefit from air con.

Lovely stay at The Crown, really friendly staff the rooms are separate from the pub so nice and quiet, really comfortable bed all the amenities were superb. We didn’t eat there in the evening as had a party to go to but 14 of us had the carvery on the Sunday and I can honestly say it’s the best carvery I’ve had. Wouldn’t hesitate staying here again, just need my friend to have another party.
Room was exactly as advertised

6/10 Good

The room was in poor condition. The toilet badly stained. The bathroom floor had not been cleaned. The woodwork damaged and unsightly on the plus side the staff were friendly and we had a nice meal . About 15 minute drive to Henley. Playhatch itself has nothing to offer so you need to drive out.
