From the outside, I was a little daunted, but once shown to our room in the converted barn - amazing! Clean, spacious, airy comfortable room with wall mounted flat screen TV and great bathroom although the bath was a bit narrow. As for the bed - huge and very comfortable. I had an amazing nights' sleep. The bar is very... more

Having spent several hours cycling from Windsor in rain and very heavy traffic, it was a great relief to arrive at the Crown Inn in Playhatch. We greeted by the very friendly staff and given hot, strong tea and biscuits, while waiting for our room to be rearranged from a double to a twin. The rooms are in a separate... more

Stayed here while visiting family in Henley. Easy to find from Henley or Reading. Rooms are very spacious and modern - not country pub style - the pictures on their website are spot on. Very quiet - couldn't hear any pub customers, even on a busy day when the garden was full. Toiletries in bathroom, digital tv, hairdryer, broadband, tea... more

Looking at all the other reviews, I wonder if I stayed at the same place. The Crown is undoubtedly good value, the rooms are clean and fairly well appointed and the restaurant food was very good, but I am not sure that it merits the exceptional ratings that it is attracting. Perhaps my expectations were too high having read all... more

We just spent 6 nights at the Crown and it was wonderful! The staff is professional and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms were completely equipped with everything a causal traveler or business traveler could ask for, from tea and cookies to high speed internet. The only problem I had was getting out of bed because it was... more

A great find. Stayed here for one night and was impressed by the standard of the room. The rooms look new, and they are separate from the main building which gives you some privacy from the pub. The outdoor area is also lovely. Wonderful setting and a good restaurant too! more

(Important as a solo female... more

The Crown Inn is a place I simply HAVE to return to.....again and again (and plan to do so soon) The rooms are simply lovely - clean, spacious, modern and well equipped. Each has a small patio area overlooking a garden... The quality of the furnishings was superb and the wireless broadband connection brilliant..(how sad that I had to work... more
