The Crown is an old hotel right on the main street of Long Melford. The menu looked great but we ended up eating at The Bull Pub across the street be ause it was less expensive. The room was clean. The en-suite bathroom was up a couple of steps from the bedroom. There was a very heavy double door at the top of the stairs whiywas tricky with luggage. The staff very fryand helpful. Lovely breakfast.
The hotel and staff were lovely, very welcoming. Our room was clean and well presented. Breakfast was delicious with excellent service. Weâll definitely be back.
Nice hotel /pub - enjoyed staying there. Itâs a bit tatty in places but clean and comfortable. Fires in the bars, good restaurant, nice friendly people.
Bedroom clean but tired furniture. Bit lacking as no tissues or water in the room. Shower was temperamental and there was no where to put shampoo or shower gel. The toilet roll holder had been badly fixed so that it sloped down and the toilet roll kept fallling off it. Tiny little shelf and no where to put toilet bags etc. The room we had was at the back up a steep set of metal stairs. The parking was only big enough for 3 cars which meant the only other option was on the street outside. The building opposite the room had a very bright light that shone through the blinds lighting up the room. The walls were very thin because we heard the people next door using the shower at about 7.00am and the we heard the cleaner making up the room soon afterwards. Very few staff and the bar staff seemed to be waiting to lock up even though it was only 10.30pm. Breakfast is cooked to order and was very nice but there was no cold buffet and no marmelade or jams unless you asked for them.Only one person working at breakfast and was run off his feet, possibly they have more usually. For a Saturday night the bar and restaurant were very quiet. Food however was very good.
The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. There was a light on 24/7 in a building opposite and couldnât shut the blinds enough to cut it out, so found a bit hard to get to sleep. Overall not bad for the price except had a 30 minute wait for dinner on Friday. But food was good so made up for it.
The bathroom however a few rusty bits and the toilet seat certainly didnât fit the toilet!!
Spent two nights at The Crown. Friendly, helpful staff serving very good quality food. Accommodation is comfortable, warm and clean in the tradition of an old coaching inn. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you're visiting the beautiful Long Melford.
Booked at short notice. We had a double room on first floor of annexe behind the pub. The room was warm and clean. The stairs became icy in sub zero temperatures but OK if careful although gritting/salt might have been beneficial. Breakfast was cooked to order and was tasty. Door to ensuite wouldn't close properly but this could be easily remedied so it fitted the frame. Shower was good and hot. Staff friendly.
I stayed there twice in the past couple of weeks and I found the place very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant served some tasty food and the service was excellent. The breakfast was good too. I will certainly come back if I am in the area.
