ザ クラウン & キッチン(The Crown Guest House)

Lovely overnight stay. Room was comfortable with friendly bar staff next door. Will definitely look to book again

There was only intermittent hot water so it was impossible to get a shower. The toilet seats in both shower rooms were broken and there was a shabby leather chair in the living room that looked like it had been chewed to bits by dogs. It was also very close to a busy railway line. Overall very poor value for money.

Great and relaxed hotel - very welcoming staff. Just disappointed we stayed on a night the kitchen was closed - part of our reason for staying there the website should make it clearer but will go back

Firstly, this host does not make it clear that all accommodation is above ground level and not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Bathroom was in need of a wipe down as dust in bath , shower control fell off , towels had clearly seen better days ruff and washed out . Shower looks good as rainfall and additional shower ,however you needed to climb over the old style bath , again no suitable for anyone with a disability. Bathroom not onsuite and cold. Room welcoming but basic , no chair to sit on . No water in room . Decor and furniture clearly old and shabby sheek No visible breakfast menu. Asked for poached eggs waitress took order and returned to say not available! Breakfast when arrived was poor quality, 1half cooked fried egg,1 sausage ,1slice of bacon, 1teaspoon of cheap beans, cheap potatoe scone hard as a brick.Horrible black pudding and some other unidentifiable slice. Cheap bread white no option for brown bread . Clearly do not source from local farms . Option was coffee or juice , coffee white or black ! Such a pitty as located in a beautiful village location.

The staff were amazing and helpful. The room/cottage was incredibly comfortable. If I have a more extended stay in Scotland, this is where I will stay.

We arrived after walking the John Muir Way and settled in with a paper and a libation and stayed for the evening - the food was fabulous and matched by the delightful service. We felt thoroughly welcomed in this hopping local favourite. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was generous and delightful.

We had the most wonderful overnight stay at The Crown and Kitchen and we stayed in Town Square room. From our request for early check-in being granted to the service to the fact that we were allocated a table for dinner despite the pub hosting a private function, our expectations were exceeded. Incredible room, incredible food.. I couldn't recommend it more! Thank you all so much. Leah and Chris ＜3

We stayed in one of the 'last remaining' cottages - though we never saw another person staying in any of the others. On arriving we had to enter the pub and say we were here and a very nice chap said the cottages were just down the road and would meet us there (all fine). We'd also noticed on the door a notice saying the kitchen was closed Mon and Tue - if we had known this in advance we would NOT have stayed here - one of the benefits was having an on-site restaurant and we were only staying for 3 nights, so this was annoying. When we got to where the cottages are located there was no private parking but I knew this because of the other reviews and we did get parked right outside so this was fine. The website says the cottages are next to a river. Well if they mean a river that is totally hidden from view by a very high wall then that could be correct. You can't see or hear the river. On entry to the cottages it felt nice and warm in there. We entered and popped our cases in the respective rooms. All ok. Here are the nice things about the cottages: - I liked that there was little bottles of shampoo/body wash and little soaps in the bathrooms - There was plenty of kitchen utensils and plates etc and saucepans (which was good, seeing as the kitchen was closed) ) - when the restaurant was open we did eat there and the burgers were excellent. Ok now a few things that weren't ideal really - The cheap laminate flooring in need of replacement - bits coming up and little chips taken out of it. - In the kitchen diner there was 2 types of different cheap laminate flooring! Why?! Why not just re-do the whole room?!! - Living room had a couple of random chairs and a tub chair that looked badly chewed/scratched by dogs. Why was it even in there?! Take it to the tip! - Living room had a well worn small sheepskin rug which did not look clean and this was the only rug to cover the cheap laminate flooring. If you have children who want to play on the floor then don't come here - floor was dirty too. A large persian rug would make ALL the difference here - come on, - Wifi was so poor our phones refused to use it, and we just used our own 4G/5G. The TV is not connected to the wifi so there is no netflix/iplayer etc. - If you try and get something to connect to the wifi it just won't. - Cheap duvets on the beds - really like they have lived a long life. Floppy and lifeless. Bedding had lots of dog hair on it - or hair at least. Was it cleaned? - NO hot water. You can fiddle with the taps a bit in the sink and this sometimes gave hot water for a couple of mins but on the whole something is very wrong with that combi boiler or the infrastructure. - The cottages are a couple of meters away from the East Coast Mainline and trains shake the whole house, and go past ALL THE TIME, including through the night. - the heating did not like to switch off despite radiators being at the snowflake so we had the windows open a lot which made the train noise even wors

Beautiful and comfortable room-lovely decor.Friendly staff and owner was very chatty and helpful
