Crown Hotel Stamford

8/10 Good
"Clean place, staff excellent and helpful. Bedroom was fine: again, very clean and pleasant but quite small and plain. Breakfasts good and generous. Evening menu lacks any salads or healthy options. Pub and bar too busy to ever get a seat on Saturday. Convenient, central to town."
