We enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Crown Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All the staff were welcoming and friendly and ensured that we had everything we needed. The en-suite room was clean and comfortable and the meals were generously proportioned. We will recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Great location. We used the car park nearby as hotel car park was full which is only a short walk. Staff very friendly. Hotel in good condition and great character. Would definitely stay again and explore Lynton a bit more.

Room was on 2nd floor and up some quite steep stairs, however all doable and room was very nice, clean and tidy but getting a little tired in places. However I believe the rooms are all going to be given a makeover in the next couple of months.
Staff were all brilliant, very welcoming and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble.
Ate in the bar both nights and the food was great, very reasonably priced as there was a meal deal each night.
Breakfast was outstanding and the lady serving was brilliant.
All in all a fantastic stay.
Thank you all.

An old quirky building full of character but the main staircase is demanding. Our room was comfortable and in keeping with the building.
Staff were generally helpful and friendly especially Caroline who got each day off to a great start with her helpful advice about the local attractions.
Food was good quality with a variety of choices.
All in all a very pleasant stay.

100% excellent
Everything has been fantastic, from the friendly welcome, easy parking, comfy sofas, large bedroom with super-comfy four-poster bed, delicious dinner and superb breakfast. Absolutely nothing to criticise, would definitely recommend and will definitely return when passing this way again.

Pleased to find a place to stay in London.
A good find as it was a reasonably priced place to stay in Lynton.Comfortable very clean room, nicely decorated. Good facilities in the room. A nice well presented breakfast.
Parking facilities were somewhat limited, but we managed to find a spot.

Comfortable, cosy and well-decorated bedroom.
Nice evening meals available, although slightly limited for vegetarians and later eaters on Sundays outside of peak season, as the service stopped at 7pm. The bar staff did let me know though, so I didn't go hungry!
Fantastic, fresh breakfasts with really good quality ingredients.
Above all, the staff were amazing. As a solo, female traveller, I felt safe and well-cared for. Caroline particularly gave a personalised service and went above-and-beyond to ensure I was happy and comfortable during my stay. Wonderful!

Slecht, vies
Het hotel heeft een bed voor je, daar is alles mee gezegd. Zelfs alle deuren waren plakkerig, bah. De badkamer die niet op de foto op website staat snap, bah vies en oud met gaten onder de prullenbak, oeps. De douche is zeer oud en zeer klein amper naar binnen te stappen ook door slanke mensen, en douchekop hangt hoog en vast dus alleen even afspoelen gaat niet . Het bed voor twee erg smal en loopt af aan de zijkant dus opletten anders lig je er naast. Kortom is geen goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding; kostte 112,- moet max 60,- zijn, heel jammer

Bien pour une nuit
L’hôtel est très bien situé.
Le personnel est formidable et très accueillant.
La décoration des chambres date, les meubles en formica et la salle de bains nous font remonter le temps de quelques décennies ! il faudrait rafraîchir un peu.

Old building with plenty of character. Clean, comfortable rooms. Think the owners are gradually refurbishing property so some areas still in need of updating. Our bedroom looked like it had been refurbished but bathroom still waiting to be done. Breakfast service excellent value for money. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic
Brilliant and accommodating. Rooms were really clean and cosy. The hotel went the extra mile with a packed breakfast in the morning to make sure I didn’t miss out as had to leave early for a running event. Area is beautiful. Would recommend.
