We were staying to attend a wake the next day. We booked in for dinner, and the food was some of the best we have eaten since the Lockdowns. Well done, to the chef - a lovely experience.

A typical country pub in an old building serving locals and visitors. Staff were excellent and helpful. We were there for a birthday lunch and stayed the night, returning home the next day. A large garden with view over the surrounding farmland. Lunch was somewhat disappointing and my steak was tough. The light meals in the evening were more interesting and better. The en-suite room was OK. The fitted sheet and mattress cover were too small. After a couple of hours, they'd both come off. Unless you know the area, you might struggle to find it down various rural lanes. Approaching from the A303, these were narrow and extensively flooded. Easier from the A30.

Ok but not impressed for many reasons
Stayed overnight for a quiet and relaxing evening away with dinner. Picked as it had 5* reviews/showed as 5* on Hotel.com. Would say is more 3* The room was in an annex to the pub. Not what we expected as the photos are a bit misleading. Room was quite small. Had to duck under tv on bracket to get to bathroom if tv was in use. Couldnt use plug hy bedside without unplugging bedside lamp as the other socket had a router plugged into it. Ill fitting bed linen (fitted double sheets squeezed onto kingsize/ or incorrectvsize for mattress. Bed was comfy and slept well. No ventilation in room (no windows or vents) aprat from leaving main door open all night which isnt ideal on the ground floor for safety/security reasons. TV didnt work properly (smart tv but no comnection to network) so couldnt use our own sign in to watch a film on an app in the evening. Nobody knew how to fix it. Dinner was ok but overpriced for the quality. Triple cooked chips were not so. Starters expensive for what they were. £26.50 was too expensive for a rump steak of that quality. Bathroom had peeling/missing paint and cobwebs behind basin. Toilet seat was dirty/stained yellow on underside and the incorrect size/shape for the pan. Shower was large and good though. At dinner had asked for main dining area but initially seated in a "back dining area" away from everybody else. It smelled damp and musty in there and asked to move. Were moved to main dining area which was much fresher.

The perfect solo staycation
Amazing staff, blissfully comfortable bed, all little details like fresh milk for tea/coffee we’re thought of, beautiful view from my room, and food was amazing with clearly lovely, locally sourced produce. It was a lovely spot for a little solo staycation!

The rose and crown is a typical country’s hostilely in a lovely peaceful location. It is well looked after with a cheerful. Welcoming band of staff. The menu however invited a “wow factor”- sadly this did not always materialise. The service however was excellent. The garden room was lovely- wonderful beds, well furnished and good en-suite.

Lovely place to stay with an amazing view of surrounding countryside including from the room we stayed in. It also had a small private space outside for sitting in the sun and drinking in the view. Would highly recommend. The only slight downside was not enough options on the menus for vegetarians which is a shame, as what there was,was delicious ,

Very unique little rooms which are lovely for a bit of quiet time. Cleanliness is rather lacking, the night before the waitress was laying up for breakfast and she had her hands inside the crockery as she carried it, then she smoothed out the cutlery with her hands. In my room both water glasses were covered in finger prints. In the morning whilst waiting for breakfast I could hear the chef constantly sniffing with the odd cough thrown in whilst he was cooking (I was the only one in the restaurant and he was the only one in the kitchen). The breakfast came out looking amazing but there was no way I was going to eat it for fear of me eating something that had quite likely dripped from his nose.

Another lovely stay at The Rose and Crown! The rooms, located in a separate converted barn are peaceful, comfortable, clean and have incredible views over the countryside. The food is good here too, including choices for vegans. Staff are friendly and welcoming, highly recommend the R&C for a relaxing break!

Lovely countryside setting along very narrow lanes. Very friendly and efficient staff. Superb cuisine food and definitely not “pub grub” Lack of clientele defused the atmosphere somewhat but still saw the ambiance of cosy fireside surrounding. Not so good was the lack of an opening window in the Trent Barrow room. Presume the 3 rooms facing the gardens were previously barns. They were nicely converted but with only French doors there was no other secure ways to ventilate the room. This could also have been the reason for a strong animal smell in the room, presumably from a dog. It would be helpful if all ‘Pet-welcome’ hotels restricted the pets and owners to specific rooms and notify new guests that the room has been used by dogs. Also, the room we had was only about half the size of those featured on the website and not that comfortable had we been staying more than one night. I would recommend the Rose and Crown but request a different room next time.

An amazing place
A really fantastic pub/B&B situated in a village where time moves slowly. Loved the cooked breakfasts and the delicious suppers. The room itself was furnished well with the necessary amenities and we got two good nights of sleep on the very comfortable bed! We are very much looking forward to coming back again!

The staff were very friendly, it's a beautiful setting and the food was superb. We did have a big clump of hair in one of the towels, the mattress cover didnt fit properly so kept coming off and we had loads of bugs in our room. This could have been a one off mistake due to staff shortages, or maybe not...

Very pleasant.
The stay was very pleasant, with beautiful views. The rooms are very well put together and the bathroom was amazing. Although the bed was very uncomfortable and a new mattress is definitely needed or maybe two as it looks like two beds put together. The staff was very friendly and the service i cannot fault. Well done!!
