Lovely ’Olde world’ atmosphere created by owner family, they were very welcoming. Background music, village situation and rustic gardens all made for a charming environment in which to stay. Our bedroom was very comfortable and was of the highest standard of cleanliness.

The bathroom was beautifully appointed, but as an older person I would have liked a grab rail, and a bath mat provided in a cupboard somewhere. The shower was over the bath; having been hospitalised by slipping on neat shampoo in similar circumstances, I feel this safety aspect needs to be addressed. It would have been interesting to have a potted history of the building as hard copy in the bedroom for visitors from abroad and also for my husband who doesn’t ’do’ computers!

A beautiful old building full of character. A warm welcome and helpful staff. A comfortable bed and very good breakfast. The location was good for visiting the Cotswolds and there is a car park. There was a good cupboard with hangers and bathrobes. Bedside tables with drawers on both sides and lamps. Variety of teabags and coffee as well as bottles of water.

Our room had a shower but we didn't manage to get any really hot water out of it. We're not shower fans and there were no instructions but it didn't appear to be complicated and we did what seemed logical. The ceiling light was rather dim so we were glad to be reading our Kindles rather than books. But in a place as old as that, all the rooms will be different.

The hotel was absolutely stunning and very special. We are history fans , so it was a real treat to stay here . The hotel location was fantastic and near to lots of places we wanted to visit . The owners and staff were so friendly and very attentive. Overall we were made feel so welcome and relaxed .

Saying I didn’t like something would be too strong , just it was a shame the restaurant part wasn’t open in full , we could have breakfast but no dinner or lunch daily , except lunch on Sunday . Also the bar wasn’t open regularly. Opened if there were guests around , I understand but seemed a little odd . We understand the restaurant part is waiting a licence and will be fully available soon . There were two very local pub restaurants just yards away from The Crown , that were fantastic and many places just minutes away in a car , so we had lots of great options .

There was nothing we didn’t like about this property. Walking from the car park into the courtyard, you walked into a medieval world of fantastic proportions. The courtyard was a beautiful garden where you could sit in peace. Moving into the main building was just as breathtaking. 14th century reception room with high, beamed ceiling and a dual staircase leading to modern bedrooms. Our bedroom overlooked the courtyard and we were visited every morning by white doves on the window sill. The room was cleaned perfectly every day and the en-suite shower room was perfect. On arrival we were warned that, due to the age of the house we might experience some issues with the plumbing but this never happened during our stay. We were booked for bed and breakfast. The breakfast was served in the bar room. Always freshly cooked and a god menu to choose from. The location of the hotel was perfect for touring the Cotswolds. Most places of interest were within an hours drive of the hotel, many much less. The hotel is family run by one of the nicest families I have ever met. Andrew, Ann and Will were such great hosts, full of stories about the history of the hotel and suggestions about places to visit. One of the highlights of the visit was sitting in the bar at night talking to Andrew and Will and playing with Bertie the Labrador. Day to day cleaning was done by Chris, a wonderful lady. In short, I cannot praise this establishment enough. Health willing I would love to make a return visit. I certainly recommend the Crown to anyone.

Nothing. I can’t praise the establishment enough.

The property overall was great. Tons of character, history and charm. The owner couple is warm and inviting. The breakfast is everything you could ask for. Really great.

But..... We rented a two bedroom family room. Upon departure, we were charged an unexpected additional 100 pounds for our two children. We were also charged 65 pounds for 2 scotches and two glasses of white sav blanc. Seemed a bit high. But there are no posted prices, so I guess you take what you get. No hot water in the shower and a bit mold in the several parts of the ceiling from obvious water damage. The newer owners are obviously putting in allot work to get this two a great product, but not all the way there just yet.

We both absolutely loved our stay at The Crown. It was fantastic from start to finish. The staff were friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. We stayed in the Ascot Room which was perfect for what we needed. It had an en-suite and tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was superb with plenty of choice and the service was quick. The restaurant was not open during our stay but this did not affect our visit as there’s still plenty of choice in the area. The bar however was open and served drinks till late both nights. We would 100% stay again and hope to do so in the near future!

Everything was fantastic

Very welcoming. Beautiful building; staying in a place with history is exciting. Breakfast was exceptional. Lovely owners who were engaging and couldn’t do enough. Felt like we were staying in their home, in a very nice way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Owners have had it for a year so it’s a work in progress. They are doing it with love and care. Our shower was a bit of a trickle and was cold the first night but to be honest it’s an old building and we weren’t going to be put off by that. Temperature of water was quickly resolved and it didn’t detract from our stay.

The hotel still has all its original features. It's a very unique hotel and definitely worth a visit. Very comfortable rooms and bed. We stayed in the Chapel room, it was where the Monks prayed, a lovely room with lots of features. Food was excellent, freshly cooked with local products. Its a family run hotel, the owners and their team made our stay a very special one. The whole stay was amazing. Location was excellent to travel around the Cotswolds. What a lovely Cotswolds hotel. Thank you to all at The Crown for welcoming us into your lovely hotel.

The service at breakfast was slow and we were not offered any cereal or fruit and given cups of coffee instead of having a pot which meant it was not very hot. No toast was offered and it seemed that they just wanted us to leave as soon as possible. Did not like to ask for other items as it was not mentioned on their paper menu so if that is all that is offered it is not good value for money compared with all the other bed and breakfast destinations we stayed at.

Nice position, although on the main road but obviously this was the address. Park opposite and when we asked for places to take our dog for a walk we were well advised. Bed was very comfortable. No restaurant there but were directed to one just up the road.

A lovely pub with accommodation to match. Friendly owners and staff who couldn't do enough to make our stay delightful. Excellent breakfast choice, freshly cooked and served with attention to detail.

There was nothing we didn't like but unfortunately the dining room was closed for dinner. Not really a problem as 4 miles to Burford and plenty of places to eat or two very good pubs within walking distance of the Crown. We opted for the latter in order to enjoy a drink in the characterful bar at the Crown and soak up the atmosphere of the delicious courtyard.
