If you’re staying in the small village of Blockley this is your only hotel option. Most rooms are cabins to the side and rear of the hotel, not in the building. The cabins are definitely dated - in need of new furniture and paint, but most seriously new carpets (as this is a stop on the Cotswold way hiking trail, no surprise that the carpets see their share of muddy boots!). The bed was small, but comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water. The staff are superb, mostly Sri Lankan, and will do their best to make your stay there pleasant. The breakfast menu is limited, and the dinner menu has the usual pub fare expected in the UK - but also has a three course Sri Lankan curry menu that you really should try! For a night or two in the area, this is perfect. Bonus: you might find yourself in town when they are filming a Father Brown episode, which is what unexpectedly happened for me.

We made a last minute booking to return to a village we hadn't been to in more than 20 years as part of our uk trip. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the room was comfortable. The bar food was excellent - Try the Sri Lankan option - and the setting convivial. Enjoyed a sound night's sleep before continuing on our adventure.

My only criticism was the water could have been warmer for my morning shower. It was tepid on full heat and with it being 5 degrees outside it was a rude awakening!

The only issues I had were the squeaky floor boards (it’s an old building) next time carpets are fitted it might be a good idea to screw the floor boards down. Tradesman trick. Parking was an issue, maybe just mention it in your advertising. At least we would know what to expect (your add says free parking) For us contracts guys breakfast start time is a little late. I paid for bed and breakfast but due to me leaving early I had no opportunity to try it. 7.00am would have helped. Other than that you have a lovely place and I would stay again, I’ll plan better so I can experience the breakfast. Thank You Gordon Hayes

Beautiful Cotswold village, traditional narrow streets makes you take your time and enjoy the surroundings. Great atmosphere, evening meal and breakfast all enjoyable and a good standard. The layout of the hotel and grounds both quaint and cosy.

The quaint and cosy can be problematic when trying to negotiate the entry and exit to the car park. Just managed to manoeuvre my Volvo XC90, so should be OK for must cars. Take your time and enjoy the experience. Is it just me but I also don't like having to rectify Booking.com spell check. I'm English reporting on an English location and want to use English not American.

It was a lovely, cosy room and well furnished with everything we needed. The food in the restaurant was excellent as was the service and the staff are lovely people who worked very hard during our stay. The Crown Hotel is a lovely Cotswold building and it sits in the charming village of Blockley which is close to all the towns that you might wish to visit during your stay including Stow On the Wold, Moreton In Marsh, Chipping Camden and Bourton On The Water.

The bed was a little small for us so we would book a room with a larger bed next time and the mattress needs updating as it's sinking in the middle.

All good, especially the smiling, happy, helpful staff. Had one Sri Lancan supper - good. Breakfasts all good but would have preferred to be offered poached eggs rather than only scrambled or hard fried eggs. Because we asked on arrival if the booked room had a Bath, the hotel kindly offered us a bigger (attic) room which did have a bath. It was a great room, even with the low ceiling spiral stair approach! The turn into the archway and twisty slope up to the car park we’re a little awkward but somehow added to the attraction of this delightful Cotswold village hotel.

Only the hard fried eggs for breakfast!

We had a spacious family room and travelled with a dog (an extra charge). Slept well in the bed and everything was clean. It’s at the value end and with that in mind we were extremely happy. It was a big room with mezzanine for bed and bathroom. The staff were so helpful and lovely. It’s a very pretty little village with some easy walks out with the dog and good location for other villages. We also really enjoyed the Sri Lankan set menu.

It’s a bit dated/old Fashioned but bed was comfy and we had everything we needed ie tv fan tea and coffee etc. we drove and due to rural location be aware that transport links are v limited (no Uber here!)

Full of character- great location. Staff extremely friendly and attentive. For what we paid we cannot fault this place - it was great value. We had evening meal and breakfast and enjoyed both. Would stay here again

If I have to pick anything and it feels unfair to hold it against the property in any way at all is the access to the car park and the drive up to the 2 levels is tight. But it’s an old coaching inn so it is what it is and all part of the nature of this full of character olde world rambling but interesting building. I’m just glad no one was coming the other way when I was driving in and out!

Location was lovely and peaceful as not on a through road. Village is beautiful and convenient to visit so many places Batsford Arboretum, Hidcote gardens, Chipping Camden and Moreton on Marsh for weekly market and nice places to eat, although food in hotel is fine. Staff are exceptionally welcoming and kind eg looking through the pics on my camera which I'd left outside the hotel to identify whose it was and return it to me before Id even missed it. Hotel is quirky with different books and crannies, just a delight. Bed was comfy and shower was very good. Recommended

Nothing

Lovely Cotswold village inn in a beautiful village. Fortunately it still has a local feel rather than a 'down from London' vibe with all that entails. So quite unspolit. Room (no.15 ) was very spacious and clean and came with a fan which was very welcome on the hotteset night of the year so far. The staff are really nice, very friendly and nothing seems too much trouble for them. Ample parking to the rear (once you've navigated the narrow arch!). Tasty full cooked breakfast included in the price. Would definitely stay again and next time try the Sri Lankan restaurant in the hotel.

Was a little pricey, but we did stay on a Friday night in July. Perhaps it's cheaper in winter. Pots of tea would be a nice addition for breakfast rather than hot water and tea bags - not a good brew.
