This was our second visit to The Old Crown Coaching Inn. The first was on our wedding night in January 1972! 53 years later it still looks much the same from the outside, although the interior has been updated, and has the usual facilities installed that we've come to expect. The bar and restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. A pleasant, characterful place to stay. There were only a couple of minor points which I'm sure would have been dealt with had we been staying for more than one night.

Bed wasn't very comfortable and duvet very thin, so not warm, (no spare blankets). No instructions for coffee maker.

Needed somewhere for an overnight stop whilst travelling so arrived at 9pm, slept, got up and left next day. Got a free room upgrade when booking. Nice and spacious. Comfy bed and slept well. Freshly cooked breakfast (did me a gluten free one). Staff very helpful. They also allowed me to keep my mountain bike in my room. Although a brief visit, it served it's purpose and would use again.

Only real challenge was the car park. It's hard to find (hidden little side alley) and quite small ("first come first served") but managed to squeeze in. I had to ring the hotel for directions to find it. Just bit of a faff late at night but that's all.

Loved it’s location to the event we stated for. Namely my brothers wedding which was a 20 minute walk away. It was a lovely old inn with history. Great bed, which was super comfortable. Perhaps the most telling feature was the greeting we received from the staff as we were checking in. They were so warm, friendly and very welcoming. A quality that influenced our decision to cancel our recommended Sunday roast at another restaurant fir their Sunday lunch in the most beautiful dining room/call room. What a lovely find. We will definitely return, for a longer stay and more of their chef and kitchen’s menu. It was wonderful.

Nothing!

Location - good to travel around and less expensive than the more popular towns. Hotel has character, very old but rooms refurbished to a good standard. Great water pressure, amazing towels 🙂 Recommend the Court room for a special occasion, it was really luxurious. Staff all very pleasant and attentive. Good bar - great selection of drinks. Saw some delicious looking cocktails being made. Outdoor central courtyard good for drinks in the sun. A problem with my booking caused by Booking com was swiftly and generously resolved.

Some noise at night from the courtyard if you're in a room that overlooks it. Blackout blind needed in the twin room as sun streams in at 4am. Parking is limited.

The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive from the moment we arrived. The hotel has been renovated with a real coaching inn feel to it. Modern but in keeping with its history. We had a very large (superior) room, fantastic king size bed with a huge full length mirror and great furniture pieces. The breakfast room is stunning and the breakfast itself had superior produce and was so delicious - amazing value for money. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back soon.

The plumbing is a little noisy when you take a shower and you could hear other residents' too. Completely understandable for such an old building but potentially something that could be looked at. It wasn't an issue for us, just an observation.

The room was brilliant, spa bath a real treat and the food was as delicious as anticipated. The food really makes it special. Lovely touch having a Christmas tree in our room and the service from the staff and manager was excellent. Our feedback was taken onboard in a very professional manner and we would recommend this as a place to stay to friends. We will definitely be returning. Also told that we could bring dogs to the Courtroom which is very appealing.

The DJ event next door (Saturdays) made for a poor nights sleep as people were drunk out on the street directly below our room. We only slept from 3 am unfortunately. Would have appreciated some ear plugs in the room, bottled water and also a coffee machine, even if just Nespresso. If these were added then the it would certainly improve the experience.

We booked for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day - we were fortunate to be upgraded to the Coach Inn room which was absolutely amazing - the New Year’s Eve tasting menu was second to none compliments to the chef and all the staff who made our getaway just perfect

We were two friends 'meeting halfway' in Faringdon. Neither of us knew the area but from the minute we walked in we felt really at home. David offered us tea, he and his colleagues were friendly and helpful. The rooms ( 2x deluxe doubles) are spacious, clean, have sloping floors and one had a low doorway and high ceiling (everything you'd expect from an old Coaching Inn). The beds are very comfortable, the bedrooms felt more modern than the bathrooms which were spacious and clean. The real surprise was the restaurant. Service, food and surroundings are all 10/10. You can feel and taste the team's ambition to make the restaurant a success. I don't think it'll be long before there'll be a waiting list to eat here.

There's a bus stop directly outside the Inn. Be warned, you might find yourself smiling at the passengers on the top floor of the double decker buses when you open the blind! Perhaps a window dressing might help with this. One of the rooms was above the pub (which had a great log fire) so noise does filter through but didn't go on late.

In centre of Farringdon , lovely old building. , cosy

We booked a late check out. 12 but at 11.00 am they want us to move room , we got ready quick and left in 15 mins ,, didn’t spoil stay but appeared a bit strange. Would’ve been more ashore than it’s worth for an hour. doing.

Loved the authenticity of the Guesthouse, pub, and village. The staff was excellent and incredibly accommodating. Great food and wine, cozy atmosphere. They were very accommodating of our vegan and gluten free diets, which was a pleasant surprise.
