Stayed there on the 8/10/11 in one of the chalet rooms. My son, daughter-in-law and their 2 children stayed in a chalet room also. The chalets were very clean, warm and confortable. The meals and service were both excellent. The staff were very good with the grandchildren.
I hope to return there again.

Have stayed at the Crispin a few times, tried to get in recently but fully booked - our fault for leaving it so late. How nice to learn that The Chilton Villa in The Street has 2 beautiful en-suite rooms, also at reasonable rates. Do try it if you cannot get in The Crispin. The village is so lucky to have such a high standard of accommodation at both these venues.

We chose the St.Crispin Inn based on internet reviews. Perhaps we are a little critical but finding part of the bathroom floor collapsed, constant zooming noises from the Inns kitchen in the bedroom (extractor system) breakfast orders wrongly taken and mixed up with other guests plus a steak meal in the evening that we returned to the kitchen etc. These problems were all correctly addressed by the very friendly staff and we were offered and accepted another room at a discounted price. All things considered a nice place to stay but the new owners need to spend a considerable amount of money at The St.Crispin Inn before the 4 star rating can be justified.

We visited the St crispin recently and to are dismay we found that it had deteriorated.
The service lacked the usual friendliness. The breakfast was very poor and everything, was overcooked and meagre. We have stayed at the Inn on many occassions but wont be going again. we checked out the pub up the road the somehing .....pidgeon, it was really nice I think we will give it a try the next time we visit Sandwich.
