Not my idea of luxury

We were greeted at reception by a lovely, friendly team member. However proceeding to our room up a steep narrow staircase and hallway our expectations began to wilt. The paintwork is dark and chipped, the carpets dirty and worn. The bedroom was OK, but the bathroom with shower over bath had paintwork peeling off the wall. The window had single glazing so being on a main road was noisy. This was not my idea of luxury.

Lovely break, fab location

Really enjoyed our recent stay at the Crown and Thistle. My husband and I managed to wangle a kid free long weekend so wanted some down time and we certainly got that. We found the car park no problem and checked into our lovely room with no issues. The hotel is perfectly located for exploring the sleepy town and surrounding area. The breakfasts were superb - such a treat to have eggs benedict. The only downside if I had to fault something was the shower which wasn t always a constant temperature but not a real problem. Thanks for making our rare escape away a good one leaving us fully refreshed after a stressful few months

No review title

The hotel itself I realise is very old but it could do with a refurb but we enjoyed the restaurant and the staff were very accommodating

Just what we needed!

We stayed at the Crown and Thistle for a weekend in September 2020 and had such a lovely relaxing time. The staff were excellent, really attentive, especially our waitress who made us feel special. We ate in the restaurant each morning and evening and the food was so good we stayed on for Sunday lunch. The room was clean and well equipped and we especially enjoyed the four posted. A really relaxed and lovely weekend, which was well needed. All in all I d definitely recommend a stay at the Inn and might venture back there soon!

Friendly

The staff were very friendly and entered into conversation. The accommodation was comfortable and as expected. My concerns were that our main meal was not always served on hot plates and the hot water in the en-suite hand basin never ran hot even though I asked for this to be checked. It was not a concern in the shower or bath. I did find that the shower basin was slippery and could a non slip mat be provided. We were however able to use the bath instead. We would recommend the Crown and Thistle.

Great surroundings

We stayed for 2 nights in what must have been the hottest week of the year, we could not believe our luck to find our room had air conditioning!! Lovely quiet room and all well presented! Food great and staff very chatty and helpful.
