We arrived on a Sunday afternoon when a folk band was playing in the bar. The staff were friendly and helpful and cheerfully sorted out a my (minor) booking mistake. The room isn't big, it doesn't need to be. It was well outfitted spotless as was the shower room. The only fault with the shower room was the water pressure: all too often it's feeble, but in this case the pressure came as a (slightly damp) surprise when we washed our hands.
We had dinner in the bar, where the band was still playing. The atmosphere was fantastic, their rendition of "Of Flower of Scotland", with audience participation, will stay as a happy memory for a long time. Oh yes, the food was great, and the portions generous without being excessive. The beer was good too. Definitely, the Crown lived up to it's slogan "Sip|Sup|Stay".
It was happenstance that I chose the crown, but the repeat visits will not be down to luck (apart possibly the luck of there being a room available).
If it was possible, I'd give them 6 stars!Thank you the Crown.
