“Brilliant place for a special meal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We celebrated a special birthday at the Crown. The welcome is very warm and the staff are excellent. Our room was well appointed and extremely comfortable - we were upgraded without charge because the hotel was empty (understandable on a mid-week February night). It was principally for the food that we came (this was our third visit). We were not disappointed. The taster menu, with accompanying wines, was brilliantly cooked and well chosen. Prices are not cheap, but we do not mind paying for high quality food we could not cook ourselves. We will be back

“great weekend break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

a really beautiful location. great food and wines and attentive service with a smile. we did the 5 mile circular walk which needed boots but the views were worth it and it created the space for the next meal.

“Superb food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011 via mobile
2
people found this review helpful

The main reason for staying in the Crown is its Michelin starred food which was superb. Our meal was enhanced even further by wines for each course being chosen by the sommelier. Service was generally very good although slightly marred when the coffee ordered did not arrive and having to correct the bill when they forgot to charge for the wine for two of our courses. The room we stayed in looked a little tired with scuffs and marks on paintwork and bedcover. This didn't spoil our visit - just didn't do justice to such superb food.

“Thoroughly enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

We booked to stay here after reading the excellent review in the Weekend Telegraph recently and it did not disappoint. It is off the beaten track but easy to find using the website directions. Warm welcome and nice touch to deliver warm Welsh cakes to our room just after arrival. Delicious canapes served with our aperitifs and we treated ourselves to the 6-course tasting menu with accompanying wines. The food was really outstanding and we loved every course. Service was friendly and attentive. Our only comment would be that, as mentioned in a previous review, the first course is the amuse-bouche which everyone on the a la carte is served too. Also, the two last courses are both desserts and cheese was only offered at a supplement. My husband is not a great dessert fan and both of us felt that a small course of a local Welsh cheese instead of one of the desserts would have improved the tasting menu. Apart from that, with superb petits fours with our coffee, it was an excellent meal.

Our room, Bryn, was extremely comfortable (at the front of the house) and we had no complaints at all about the breakfast, which was good.

We would certainly recommend this restaurant with rooms to our foody friends.

Room Tip: Although our room, Bryn, was on the front of the house, the small road outside is very quiet and we...
