I discovered the Rose & Crown after staying in Airbnb's my previous trips. My priorities are a comfy bed, a great shower, and a place that is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The Rose & Crown more than delivers on all three! My daughter and her family live less than a minute's walk away, so the convenience is unbeatable, but really what makes it so special are the rooms and staff. Kate, the manager is terrific - warm and friendly and has bent over backwards to accommodate me. I had a change in my plans and needed to extend my stay which means I have experienced a variety of rooms: Single, Standard Double, Superior Double, Deluxe, and the Suite! I recommend all of them! Bule, the housekeeper, is an exceptional person who is full of positive energy: She happily moved my suitcases from room to room throughout the week! The Fish and Chips in the bar are yummy, and Ian, Dan, and Max, the bartenders, always greet me as I pass through the pub. Wonderful breakfast spread including lots of fresh fruit. I highly recommend the Rose & Crown! Caroline M
