The staff were very accommodating and my wife's request for porridge was no problem as was for fewer tea bags in our tea - two in a small pot was way too many. The upgrade into the bridal suite was greatly appreciated as it was actually our 40th wedding anniversary - not that we had told you that. Checking in was very straightforward and the chap on reception was very engaging and interesting. The garden is wonderful.

The room we had was a bit dated in decor but incredibly spacious. I would be interested to know how often that huge plunge bath was used. The shower temperature seemed to vary.

The hotel is not part of a chain and in some areas needs a bit of TLC, having said that we found the ambiance of the whole building to be very welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom. The bar area was very pleasant with the staff excellent. The breakfast was cooked to order with locally sourced ingredients and of very good quality and portion. Again very good staff, they all seemed to get what is required in a hospitality environment On the whole we would stay there again when in the area.

As above some areas could do with refurbishment, the windows for example, not easy as I believe the building is in a conservation area and all the issues that brings

The people were so helpful and friendly. What a beautifully run hotel. Could not do enough for us. Have never felt so looked after. The room was so pretty. Light and very airy. Bathroom huge and clean. But the staff were exceptional. The lady that met us on arrival, sorry we didn’t get your name was so wonderful. Thank you for making our stay so stress free. Breakfast ! Omg stunning. Filled our tummies and enjoyed every mouthful. Again staff could not do enough. Recommend for sure. If in the area we would 100% choose here. Thank you x

Nothing. Perfect hotel. Awesome staff

The room was very comfortable, overlooking a pretty garden. It had everything I needed. The bed/duvet/pillows were extremely comfortable. Breakfast had the choice of anything I could have wanted and the staff were very kind and obliging. The owner?manager? was very helpful in helping me arrange a taxi to get me to the crematorium the next day. The actually building was lovely - historic and quirky, and could be an excellent base if I'd driven there for pleasure, not just for the purposes of going to a friend's funeral. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if I had my own transport and wanted to explore the area.

It would have been lovely if the hotel had done evening meals, but I understood this before I visited, and had booked a local restaurant, but this did mean having to walk for 10 mins on my own in the dark. The village was very quiet, and there weren't any alternatives (fish & chips to eat in my room, for example). I also found I was more bothered than I expected that there was a step between my room and my ensuite. I'm 75 now, and this has never been a problem, and wasn't now, but it did make me think about the future. And that I was on the 2nd floor (ditto). This is not a fault of the hotel. I thought the room was on the expensive side, but I could have had a cheaper (single) room if I'd wished. And it's an old, historic building, which must take quite a bit of upkeep.

This is our third visit to The Crown House Inn and we love it here.We were in the stable part of the hotel which is really quiet and peaceful.Breakfasts were great and we enjoyed them very much.The hotel seems to be very popular and quite busy at the weekends.It does not do dinner so we went to the Crown and Thistle a short walk away.Great Chesterford is a lovely village and we always enjoy walking around it.

Everything was great.

Everything. It was comfortable and nice and had a personal feel unlike the modern impersonal large chains. Breakfast was delicious and cooked fresh to order, not an open buffet which sits there. Also nothing was too much trouble for staff. Because we were there for a funeral and checking out times clashed they were happy to let us check out after the gathering reception afterwards without paying more. Very kind.

Old fashioned but well maintained, lots of character, comfortable and welcoming.

I had a suite in the main house. Clean, spacious room in a traditional style, well taken care of, the WiFi worked alright. The stuff was very polite. The hotel is at about 8 and 10 minutes walk from the two pubs of the village that serve food (with the first one serving only Thai or pizza).

To those that it may be important, any sound made would travel around. The premises are generally very quiet though. A stronger water flow at the shower would have been preferred. Prices were a bit on the higher end for an old establishment like this although the room was big.

The breakfast room was great ; a nice atmosphere and everybody was friendly. As a B&B this place is in a wonderful village but you can find all facilities.. the rooms are compact but have everything you need (wi-fi was intermittent though). Secure car park and lounge area good bonuses. I contacted the staff before arrival and they were very accommodating for an early arrival-the staff were brillinat in general.

Wi-fi intermittent .

The staff were great and Chris is very welcoming and helpful. The location is really pretty. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable. There is a reasonable amount of parking. The garden is very pretty. Breakfast was well cooked and plenty of it. Its nice to eat in the conservatory in the summer. We would definitely go back although it would be nice to be in the original house as it is older and more characterful with prettier rooms. We ate ar the Thai bistro pub and it was very busy. We'd recommend booking ahead. Food was delicious although service very slow indeed. But they were all working very hard so the delay was just because of the numbers and the place had a good atmosphere. Saffron Walden up the road is delightful for a wander round and we ate there the next night.

The breakfast is cooked and laid out on a trolley with a hot plate but most items were not covered so it was only just warm enough to eat enjoyably. Coming down earlier our next day was better. Also, the rooms in the annexe have thin walls and we were badly disturbed by our neighbour. Chris found us two other rooms to choose from for our second night which was appreciated. He also bought us a drink by way of apology even though it wasn't his fault, which was unexpected and lovely.

Well, this was the first time that I'd ever slept in a four-poster bed! It was amazing :D The room was decorated with nice furniture that matched the decor. The bathroom was amazing - I even treated myself to running a bath! The staff were lovely. I had time to sit and chat with one member of staff after dinner, having visited a local restaurant that he recommended. Breakfast was yummy and the staff were helpful and friendly. Would totally stay here again, especially as it's such a convenient location near Stansted Airport.
