オールドクラウンコーチングイン(The Old Crown Coaching Inn)

I had another amazing meal last weekend (June 2024) at the Old Crown & Coaching Inn in Faringdon Oxon - it was just beautiful. We were in the beautiful Ballroom to eat. The service was outstanding and the food was just incredible, so delicious. I can understand why they keep winning awards. It is becoming challenging to find somewhere that offers everything for a wonderful evening but this place really does do that. The Cocktail bar is separate from the pub area that has live music from time to time, (and it did on the night I was there) and the band were great. There is also an outside courtyard that is spacious and always wonderful in the summertime. The atmosphere is cultured, calming, fun and lively depending on what you want, since there are different areas to eat and drink in. It is definitely worth a visit and they do B&B, with rooms that have been decorated beautifully in case you want to really relax.

We very much enjoyed our delicious breakfast this morning. We live locally and have experienced Sunday lunch here before. Happy to say breakfast is equally high standard. Quality, tasty ingredients perfectly cooked. Great value for money in such beautiful, elegant venue. Open to non-residents

Enjoyed every moment of our 2 night stay. Fabulous Breakfast . All the staff very friendly & helpful, especially Maddie . Great Cocktails in JJ’s …. Loved the courtyard….. warm weather was a bonus ☀️ Nice twin room , comfortable beds & everything nice & clean

Stayed for a couple of nights to celebrate my birthday. Had a very warm welcome. Our bags were taken up to our room. Room was lovely and comfortable, everything we needed. Spent alot of time sat in the courtyard drinking cocktails! Great service nothing was too much trouble from maddie she is an assett to the hotel. Even helped us on our checkout and we all exchanged hugs, planning to return later this year.

Perfection. On every level. Engaged and friendly staff, beautiful elegant decor and the food is completely next level. Knocks spots off the competition in the area. A variety of options from bar snacks to à la carte. We went a la carte and were not disappointed. We’ve been three times now, and each time they manage to outdo themselves. Bravo to the team, who made our meal so special. Will be back.

We came here for lunch with friends yesterday as visiting the area and had a delicious small meal in the sunny courtyard. We had the duck croquettes and some of us the hummus and pita bread. Both really tasty. Very friendly bar staff and would highly recommend.

Room was clean, comfy bed with good duvet and plump pillows. Bathroom clean with plenty of towels and toiletries.

My hubby and I had the most glorious meal on Easter Saturday, where chef Sam Squires was at his finest. We kicked off our evening with a glass of house champagne in the cozy wine bar, moving to the Ballroom dining room, a stunning space and yet remains intimate. The service was friendly, discreet and spot on. Every course wowed with taste explosions. I particularly enjoyed my starter, a Carrot Terrine, with a buttermilk and dill veloute, pickled carrot, spring onion, thyme. All the textures and flavours at once, tangy, crunchy, soft and simply delicious. We stayed in the Faringdon room overlooking the market square. Super comfy bed, feather duvet and excellent pillows made for a great night's sleep. The added bonus of a nespresso coffee machine in the room is a nice touch and waking up to a fresh coffee is my perfect way to start the day. Lovely white fluffy bath towels and robes and a great hot and spacious walk in shower. A perfect evening and night and we'll definately be back soon, thank you for having us.

We stayed for one night and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The room was large, airy and very comfortable. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The egg benedict, at breakfast was particularly good. Thought the building was great and had buckets character as well as being sympathetically restored. We wish them every success going forward.
