I agree with the points made by the previous reviewer, Rich W. We had a lovely stay at the Crown. Our bedroom, on the first floor, was extremely comfortable and the bathroom very modern and functional. There were large fluffy towels and a heated towel rail (a 'must' for my wife!). The room was large and well appointed and although... More

Just back from two nights at The Crown, Stoke by Nayland. Hidden away amidst beautiful countryside in a very charming and well-kept village. Warm greeting on arrival from the receptionist and on being shown our room we were delighted with its style, decor, free internet access, bathroom (choice of overhead and separate spray shower) great thick Egyptian towels, tea/coffee making...

For dessert he had lemon meringue pie with ice cream. Have... More

The rooms are decorated to a high standard and I was particularly impressed... More

We have been coming here for several years now and it has never let us down. We bring visitors confident of delicious food. I'm glad there is waitress service now, and you don't have to go to the bar with your order, and that the daily specials are on a menu not just on the distant chalk board. I think... More
