Bar and Dining Room attractive, food good, staff (mostly) helpful.
Room, in adjacent development, awful: accessed only via steep, external flight of open stairs.
No offer to assist elderly customers, ( Blue Badge holder), with luggage in poor weather.
Small and cramped accommodation. Velux-style skylight in sloping roof with no other windows or view out.

Amazing stay from pre-check-in to check out. Clean room with amenities. We took our dog and they provided a dog bed, towel, water bowl and treats. Perfect bolthole for a stay away. We sat and played games in the snug area of the bar with an open fire for the afternoon. There’s complimentary canapés from 5:30pm and the restaurant had dishes for all dietary requirements. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We will be returning again.

Beautiful room, we stayed in the separate rooms outside from the main building. Extremely warm welcome with a tour of the stunning pub. We were invited for complementary canapes - which unfortunately we couldn't make. Huge room and bathroom with a little terrace. Massive comfy bed. Breakfast was really premium with awesome vegan option. Very quiet surroundings. Perfect location to grab a morning run on Dunwich Heath. Parking was easy and safe. Loved every minute and will definitely be back.

Warm welcome, good check in experience, and the room was fine. Rather dark and on the small side but clean and comfortable. The carpets have seen better days. Fairly comfortable bed, but a major problem was that there was no hot water for the beautiful tub. I had spent the whole day travelling and working and a bath would have been great but the hot tap even alone never got more than tepid. I did raise this with the hotel by email and the next morning in person and other than an apology nothing, and no reply to my email.
I think it incredibly poor that for such a price the hot water was not working, and I was very happy not to stay there for the 2nd night as my plans changed. (No offer of a refund or compensation of course).
Will not stay there again because of this.
Dinner at the bar was nice. Excellent wine list.

I was aware that they allowed dogs but I didn’t expect to have them in the restaurant at dinner and breakfast. Unfortunately because of this I wouldn’t return. I heard other people complain about them also. The presence of these creatures was bad enough but when one started barking I just wanted to finish my meal and get out.

Our stay was very good. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We knew the hotel was dog friendly but what we really didn't like were animals in the restaurant. The room next to ours had a dog which yapped. Fortunately it stopped by 9pm. Breakfast was spoilt by a dog barking. Sadly would not return unless policy changes.

Finally the staff!

A great find!!
Lovely pub / hotel /restaurant in a beautiful spot.
The room was gorgeous with a roll top bath and very comfy bed.
The hotel was totally dog friendly- they are allowed everywhere and even get a sausage for breakfast!
We ate in the restaurant twice and loved it both times - good portions and great specials.
The bar is comfortable with a wide range of cask ales and a great selection of wine.
Finally the staff!
Everyone was very friendly, helpful and welcoming, they worked long shifts but never dropped their standards. Brilliant!
There are a few pubs in the group but would have to do exceptionally well to match The Crown.
Thank you.

Our stay was a last minute decision and we were luckily to get a room for too nights. We also had our little dog with us. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfasts was lovey and had a good choice. They even gave our dog a sausage, which he enjoyed.
The room was small but clean and tidy. The only draw back is that the room was on the top floor, with a lot of stairs to climb. It seemed extra long in the night when the god needed to go to the toilet. But we managed and it was fine.

Decent room in building in pub car park. Nicely decorated, good amenities. Bed/mattress were cheap but didn’t affect my sleep. No sockets adjacent to the bed which is always annoying. My first floor room only had a Velux window so no view outside. The bathroom was very small but well equipped with toiletries and soft towels. Included breakfast was very good. All in all, I was happy with this stay and felt it was good value.

We booked a Good double room with king bed for 2 nights. The room we were allocated was on the ground floor right on the pavement and road which was noisy. The window had no net curtains just a blinds so offered very little privacy unless you closed the blind which would make the room very dark. The bathroom did not have frosted glass and was on a walkway. We were moved to another room away from the road which was only available for 1 night and are awaiting a refund for a second night.

You need to like dogs!

We enjoyed our stay - the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was ok but hard to cool down during the hot weather in spite of having a fan provided and the hot water was dangerously hot!
We had invited friends to join us for dinner on the first night and the food was excellent. Unfortunately because of dogs being allowed in the dining room our conversation was punctuated throughout by a barking dog who the owners couldn't control. It really spoiled our evening. At our final breakfast there were 5 dogs in the dining area. The staff were very aware of the situation and gave us a quiet area for our second dinner and volunteered the same for breakfast. However I think there should be a separate area for dog owners. We have a dog in our family so we're not anti dogs but we are very aware that some people are allergic to or are scared of them and think that should be taken into consideration in public areas.

The room was on the second floor up two flights of very steep, narrow stairs. Not ideal when carrying a puppy. The breakfast on the first day was ok (Poor quality bacon though), on the second day, despite offering Sourdough toast on the menu 10 times, they had none as ‘we don’t get a delivery on Sundays’. The alternative was cardboard, cheap toast. If only the management cared, perhaps they could order more on a Saturday, or get in the car to a local bakery? On the final morning there was no hot water for a bath. They also forgot to put my dogs food in the ftidge meaning we had to throw it away. Shoddy all round, I’d avoid if I were you
