We stayed here for one night with dinner in February 2012. Most enjoyable. Room (one of the garden rooms) was nicely decorated and kitted out to a good standard. Friendly service, and both dinner and breakfast were lovely. Very enlightened wine list with plenty of good non-French reds (something which for us so many places fall down on). We'll certainly...

Have just returned from a first (hopefully of many) visits to this gem of a hotel. Everything is so lovely, from the decor and ambience, to the wonderful food and friendly and welcoming staff. The location is also perfect -even prettier as we woke up to thick snow! Nothing was too much trouble: I managed to arrive with crumpled clothes... More

I'm sorry it's taken me from Christmas until now to write my review - however I AM still probably carrying some of the weight I put on, so haven't completely forgotten you! What a fabulous time we had, the food was really lovely, so many difficult choices to make and the menu kept changing so there was no way we... More

My partner and I decided to treat each other to a stay here as a Christmas present. Our room was spacious and comfortable with an excellent bathroom. The hotel is full of little personal touches such as the personalised DVD recommendations and sherry guides - not to mention the thorough suggestions and advice on what to see and do. But,... More

The bed was comfy, the ensuite nicely done and the toilet soap exquisite (We bought some for home at the local shop) The ambiance througout and the food... More

We spent 2 nights here in October 2011 and we had a fabulous time. The room was lovely and comfortable with a view of Orford Castle from the bathroom. Bathroom toiletries were beautiful and we have since purchased the soap for home from the website. We had a room in the hotel as opposed to the garden. We had dinner... More

I NEVER give 5 stars for any review I leave. This has been a completely different experience. This is genuine top class service and food without ANY airs or graces. You could go anywhere else in the country and pay top dollar for, maybe, a Michelin star experience but here you get good honest food, comfortable accomdation with truly welcoming... More

First, I am delighted you have no idea who I am (Ruth Watson), and that you don't care much anyway! A very healthy response. Thank you for confirming that we do not trade on my alter ego/career and for such nice comments about our staff, food and accommodation – and the lack of pretension. We have a phrase we use... More

The crown and castle is a great hotel. The rooms are furnished to a very high standard and service cannot be faulted. The dinner was delicious and served with almost clockwork efficiency. Breakfast was lovely too, but felt a little cramped. Location of the crown and castle is very picturesque. Orford is an incredibly attractive village and does not seem... More

Thank you for your very kind review. We understand the comment about 'breakfast felt a little cramped' as we are aware that the tables in the Trinity are close together. We would love to have more public space to allow everything to spread out a little but, sadly, we haven't. There are a few tables with no near neighbours so... More
