“This is a Pub with rooms, not a Hotel!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2009
1
person found this review helpful

If you book a Family Room beware of the Pub's opening hours which are until Midnight or 1am Monday-Saturday. The rooms are above a lively but noisy bar area. However, the room we stayed in could have been cleaner and better prepared.
The bathroom had various minor problems (shaving light and heated towel rail did not work, the shower head was attached by cable ties and could not be adjusted).
The bedroom had various minor problems (1 bedside lamp could not be switched on or off, no remote control for the TV, the chest of drawers and similar 3 drawer unit were dirty inside - sawdust from missing handles and one drawer had human hairs in, there was an old advent calendar on top of the wardrobe) plus there were three of us - so there were 3 saucers, 2 cups and 1 teaspoon.
There was also a lot of traffic noise late night and early morning which the sash windows (one of which had to be propped open with a lump of wood) could not keep out.
As we were down dropping our son off at the University we simply paid up, but I wish I had taken notice of the poor review I saw on this site.
I personally would avoid the Crawford if you need a family room.

“Appalling place!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2009

I advise you not to stay here unless you are happy with lowering your standards. It has obviously got new owners since the 2004 review because there was no evidence of great people or service or cleanliness. It should not be classed as a 'Hotel' it should be classed as a noisy pub with rooms.

“Fantastic atmosphere & amenities!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2004

people found this review helpful

Well where do I start!!!.
I think I will start with the owners(Mike,Sam & Jen) they were fantasic hosts and what a laugh my husband and I had with them and the other guests.
The hotel is spotlessy clean & the food was goregous EVERY night. The indoor swimmingpool was lovley and a great asset when it's raining.
I can honestly say that if you offered me a week at The Crawford or abroad I wouldn't think twice about going to see the clan at the Crawford.
