We had a fantastic one night stay at the Rose and Crown and can barely fault it. The staff were charming - especially the young girl on reception who was delightful and bent over backwards to help. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea in the lounge (with yummy cake!) and then returned to our room to chill out. The heating wasn't working properly which was the only issue we had but the electric heater in the room kept it perfectly warm until the boiler was fixed!
We went for dinner which was truly one of the best meals I have eaten - my favourite chicken liver parfait for starter, venison cooked beautifully for main course and a delicious chocolate pot to end with. Fantastic wine to wash it down!
We then sat by the roaring fire in the bar to have a night cap before returning to our room where the heating had been fixed!
Even breakfast the next morning was really delicious and the village itself is beautiful.
I'd highly recommend this hotel for a lovely country break - just get away from it all and be pampered. The service was 2nd to none and I cannot fault it.
