Found the Crown via Sawdays website, chosen on the basis that it was roughly equidistant from the homes of my two companions and me: we all live pretty well scattered around the country: Hants., Yorks., and Kent! it was an 'old workmates' reunion, and we had great fun. The Crown turned out to be well-chosen - very attractive, warm, friendly,... More

We had two nights at the Crown and found it cosy and welcoming. We stayed in the Fotheringhay room in the annex -a beautifully appointed room with comfortable bed and a good bathroom- nice toileteries provided daily-the actual shower was only just adequate (we are used to a much more powerful one) one other negative was that the towel rail...

I have stayed at the Crown twice now, once a couple of years ago when attending a celebratory meal there and more recently when visiting my home town of Peterborough. The food is excellent (although the service was a bit slow on one of the evenings) the staff are friendly and the rooms clean and beautifully presented. A great deal... More

We had booked a table for 8pm on a Saturday evening to meet two friends whom we haven't seen for about 8 years, expecting a friendly, warm place with a good atmosphere, good food and good service where we could relax and catch up. All in all, we were disappointed. The car park was full and the area outside The... More

I live locally to the crown and admired it for many years, it is such a chocolate box village and beautiful Inn. My wife and I was looking for somewhere to go for New Years Eve and I thought back to the Crown, we wanted a place that was cosy with a family atmosphere and not a stuffy place with... More

I was recommended the Crown Inn a number of years back when I was working in Peterborough. As a single traveller I found the pub incredibly welcoming and the rooms very comfortable. I have been back twice more recently for a weekend away from it all. Both times I have had the most relaxing experience, sleeping well, eating well and... More

Many thanks for your kind comments- I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and above all we made you feel at home! Certainly each of our five rooms is highly individual – décor and age of the building as you say dictates this. We often find that our guests fall in love with their particular favourite.... More

Thank you for your feedback, and sincere apologies that your experience with us wasn’t all it should have been. These lapses are highly regrettable and down in the most part to our being “between” front of house managers over the summer. We’re pleased to say though, that we now have an excellent front of house manager in Nina Doughty, who... More

Everything here is wonderful. We had the Elton room which is lovely large room overlooking the village green. The sleigh bed was very comfortable and the little touches of fresh milk, homemade biscuits and bottled water were very welcome. Dinner was excellent and staff very friendly and professional. Breakfast the next morning was a lovely as dinner. Can recommend the... More

Booked last minute for New Year's Eve. Recommended to sit in the snug for dinner as it would be quieter (it was next to the karaoke!); told only one room left above the bar but reassured music would finish just after midnight - 3 hours later it was still going. Complained and was told we could be moved to another... More
