On checking in we were told that "we open normal pub hours. If you return outside them ring the door bell and someone will let you in". We returned at just after 10.30 to find the pub closed. Rang the bell numerous times, but got no response. My wife continued to try the door while I sought help - and possibly an emergency room for the night - from the pub just down the road. They got no response on the 'phone, but while they were thinking of other options my wife 'phoned to say someone had finally opened the door to the Rose & Crown. This some 10-15 minutes after our return. When I got back the door opener muttered an apology and said "the doorbell must be broken". He asked for our room number and I anticipated a more fullsome apology or perhaps the offer of a free breakfast the next morning. However on checking out - when as on check-in, the reception was lukewarm at best - no mention was made of the incident. Had it not been for this I probably wouldn't have posted a review at all, a fairly average stay with no highlights or (other) lowlights.

Lovely pub with very friendly and efficient staff. Room very comfortable, very clean and serviced very promptly. Cant believe the value for this pub.

Advertised as parking available, there isnt any and the staff know and dont care that its advertised as available. Had to park in a council car park with 4 hours max stay. If you have a car stay somewhere else.

Easy check in at bar. Booked last minute so expected twin room, but bless they had pushed singles together for us as were fully booked (thank you!) and the bed was really comfortable too. Floor a little squeaky in places. bathroom really clean, decent shower. Could only hear a bit of noise from pub underneath, not enough to keep us awake. Location good for us visiting family, would definitely stay again. Thanks Rose and Crown. Didn’t have breakfast or dinner in pub as pricey and lots of eateries on door step.

The hotel is generally good. Staff are friendly and really helpful. It's very close to the town centre which is very convenient for us.

The 2 days I spent there was just about perfect . Only problem for me was no car parking to the pub . The nearby car park you could pay for 2/3/4 hours the maximum being 4 hours . Free parking over night until 8,00am . So if you don’t need your car for example until 11,00am. You need to get to the car park meter at 8,00am to purchase a ticket . Not the best situation if you fancy a lay in 😀 The total accommodation was 100%

Lovely room ,very comfortable, spotlessly clean. Lovely food

Nice pub and good room, however the room was cold when we arrived at about 3pm and when we enquired what time the heating came on we were told 5pm because they had been quiet, which is not acceptable in February. They did not seem keen to turn it on earlier but did so after some discussion. This is a shame as the rest of the stay was very good.
