The Crewe Arms was, sadly, very disappointing. Extremely expensive for what was offered and, whilst not an issue for me, no breakfast. My accommodation was barely better than grubby and the whole premises including my room smelt of deep fat frying. Very disappointed.

Nothing wrong with the actual room, but WIFI didnt work and on a business trip, that was an issue. No breakfast either.

Lovely pub - we had lunch one day and the food was amazing. The staff are all really friendly. The room itself is a little tired but fine for one night.

Good Value

Chose this stay to break a long journey and what a great choice. Had a nice meal and a few beers, so much nicer than a generic travel lodge, plenty of character and nice surroundings. Room was clean and functional with decent Wi-Fi for my needs.

Pub grub was excellent we even had steak and ale pie made by their own chef rather than bought in as a frozen meal. The main downside is that the pub occupies a very small building with two guest rooms the one we stayed in was located above the kitchen. This was not a problem at night but in the morning someone used a large mixer just before 6 am for about 15 minutes.

There is no breakfast available at the pub and no eating utensils or plates in the room. There are no local restaurants where you can have breakfast so be prepared to bring everything you need for breakfast. The manager made it clear that no breakfast could be provided.

Great homely vibe !

Comfortable & Clean, slightly cold upon arrival but a few mins with the heater on resolved that, in general it was great value for money with Donkey picture on the wall (I donate monthly to the donkey sanctuary) & heilan coo’s in the bathroom (I’m also Scottish) only negative was the sound proofing from neighbouring rooms, the snoring !!! Gosh ! However, it was more homely than you’d have realised, thank you.

Very disappointing and would not recommend

Very dirty room, dirty sheets, dog hairs everywhere. No WiFi signal, smelt of dirty chip fat which wasn’t surprising since it was stored inside the room. Absolutely would not recommend which is a shame as the pub itself looked nice and village was lovely. Member of staff on check in was pleasant but didn’t have time to complain or relocate to an alternative hotel given short time I had after arriving before heading out to meet colleagues for meal. Very disappointed

Soiled sheets, unclean bathroom, loud.

With only two rooms available, having them clean and presentable shouldn’t be a problem.

However, I had soiled sheets - which although I was assured were definitely clean (the smell tells me they weren’t), they were only changed at 11pm that evening. Not great.
The bathroom was also smelly and unclean.

The walls are very thin, so you also aren’t going to get much sleep.

That being said, if you like gossip, you’ll hear plenty of it from the owner in the bar.

I would spend the extra couple of quid and stay elsewhere in future.

Pub closed and no-one around to check in. Had to phone to find out where my room was. Not ideal, not sure why they can't have a lockbox or provide instructions in the booking email.

Room not cleaned properly. Dirty cups, hairs in the shower, wet towels.

No milk provided so couldn't have a hot drink.

Room is next to the kitchen so smells of fried food. Staff shouting to each other and banging pans about until 11pm.

No wifi, not enough parking, light bulbs blown.

No Service or communication. Mary Celeste Hotel.

I wasn’t informed that the place was closed on Tuesday. I arrived at 14:05 to find the place deserted and closed although there was an open door. I left the site assuming someone would come later, there was no one at 17:30.
There was a fellow guest eating a takeaway and having a drink at an outside table and he informed me the hotel was closed.
I told him I had a booked room, he bravely went into the open door, upstairs and opened a door having knocked. He recognised the room as similar to his so we guessed it might be my room.
The bed linen smelled a bit sweaty, not sure it’d been changed.
I got up in the morning hoping to see someone but no, no one was there.
I stayed a night in a room I didn’t know was mine and I saw no one at all from the hotel.
If I hadn’t met the other guest I’d have been stuck for accommodation. I was also hoping for evening meal and breakfast.
Poor treatment of customers and no follow up. I just don’t think they care.

The shoe locker

The setting is very nice. The staff is friendly. Apart from this, the place needs a lot. Room was extremely stuffy with an incredibly small window, which, when kept open, offered 0 privacy, any passer by could either pop in and grab something feom around or look in. The sheets had a sticky stain on the fitted sheet. The walls are very thin and we could hear our above neighbour snoring really bsd even with the TV. There was a smell of mold in the bathroom. There was nobody at the reception when we left so really nobody to talk to so we left the key on the bar. They brought us the breakfast, which could otherwise be quite nice in the room the evening before.. the milk and orange juice that were in the breakfast basket were gone off and sour in the morning as the room was very warm and stuffy and there was no facility for frige/colder room.
