Rose and Crown

We had booked a twin room and clearly stated in our booking our need for twin beds however when shown the room the bed was made up as a double, after a wait in the pub they eventually changed the bed for a twin. At first glance the rooms look ok however under closer inspection we noticed numerous problems. The door handle for the bathroom was loose and fell off straight away, the toilet seat was completely loose and swivelled around, the toilet flush button surround fell off every time you pressed the button. The toilet paper holder was also broken. Sleep was difficult as the air conditioning fan is right outside the window and is noisy! Sea view??? The rooms are around the corner from the pub so every morning for breakfast you need to go outside, walk around the corner to the pub. Not ideal if the weather is unpredictable. On the first morning we went down for breakfast and after a lengthy wait was told that their chef was in hospital and the covering chef could not be bothered to come in. We had to walk down the road to the station cafe for breakfast. How lucky we were not to have eaten breakfast that first day as each subsequent breakfast got worse than the time before, awful orange juice that could double as battery acid. Poached eggs that were hard boiled, greasy mushrooms. Toast that is rock hard, asked for white but only got wholemeal. The pub has a 2 out of 5 score for cleanliness on the door, avoid it and go to the station cafe down the road.

The venue was great. My room was very clean, bed comfy the only issue was the heating was up too much for my liking. The food was wonderful and they even came. In early and got my breakfast on the table for 8.30 instead of their usual 9am. Highly recommended them for staying or eating

Good food, good service.

We got in late, but they were quick to let us in our room. Very nicely decorated room/bath with all amenities. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in the attached restaurant. Would love to stay here again and explore the town.
