The Crown at Whitchurch

If all you want is a basic room for one night possibly this is Ok. However note it's part of a Pub and Indian Retuarant and offers none of the facilities of a Hotel. Reception is minimal and you let yourself out in the mornings. Parking is good and there is an excellent Cafe / Deli close buy.

Beds are basic as is the room. Not totally comfortable with the access and departure arrangements.

Location. Very near Symonds Yat. Some of the staff very friendly.

We had an issue with the owner who was rude-. The room wasn’t cleaned. The shower did not drain water properly. My father was charged on arrival for the room as the company did not know it had been paid through booking.com until I showed them.

Arriving to find free parking is always a good start. The towels were very white and soft. Friendly staff. Good but not great, internal Indian restaurant. A reasonable place, at a good price and we could see that it has a lot of potential but it hasn't been realised yet. Lovely area, particularly Symonds Yat. Goodrich Castle is well worth a visit too.

It would have been nice to have a couple of glasses available in the room and to have enough curtain hooks for the curtains and to have the bin emptied and the hospitality tray refreshed while we were there but we didn't and they weren't. There was supposed to be free WiFi but we couldn't even find the provider never mind log-in and to compound the issue we couldn't get any signal to use our own data however, to be fair, the Crown is not a town centre place and signal strength can often be an issue in the countryside.
