Nov 2024 - This is a very old pub, persevered very well and in keeping with it's original historic 656 year old design. Great food and drink selection and wonderful staff.
With that in mind, it is a pub, and therefore very noisy until around 12am later at weekends. As it's old it's also very creaky, so expect to here residents walking to and from the bathroom / toilets.
The rooms are what you'd expect in keeping with an old building and a little cold in winter.
The bathrooms are separate and shared with plenty of hot water, but the mattresses are awful, I ended up sleeping on the floor.
The Old Crown is about 25 mins walk from the town centre with a 1 in 4 hill climb. Sadly though the surrounding area is run down, with graffiti and building rubble everywhere.
Overall I really enjoyed the place, but it's location lets it down.
