Although they did not advertise that dogs can stay, I e-mailed them and asked. Roger then rang me and discussed details regarding how well behaved our dog is and where she would sleep and stay when we were eating meals. They were extremely accommodating, giving us the biggest room which had a huge bathroom with a bath as well as... More

We found the dining room in this inn had a peaceful, intimate atmosphere. For us it would have been nice to have had one or two more choices of main and dessert on the menu, but the food we chose was all good.

Lovely welcome from friendly and helpful staff always heralds a good stay. Our room was very pleasant with a fabulously comfortable bed and a shower you'd like to stay in all day!

Came here recently after an absence of a couple of years and it has improved tremendously. Lovely interior; delicious, superbly presented food and excellent service. Two, very minor, gripes would be that it would be nice to see a few more real ales on tap and a bit more choice on the menu Nevertheless, heartily reccomended!

We had a fantastic meal with very attentive service throughout the evening, couldn't fault anything. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and a good size. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and all served quickly and efficiently with smiles, We would highly recommend The Crown and Punchbowl for a weekend away.

This is an excellent restaurant with great food off a varied and interesting menu and service to match. The real ale from Shepherd's Neame was well kept, and the wine list had plenty of choice. We did not use the accommodation but I should imagine the rooms are to the same high standard.
