Room was clean but few amenities, any room service beyond replenishing coffee had to be asked for. Desperately needs a gardener - bare beds mulched in slate and a few empty pots w/ dead weeds are hardly the English norm. Food did not exemplify the good, local, English meals we had elsewhere.

We loved our triple room, gorgeous view from the window. The breakfast and the dinner we had in the restaurant was great, the bar was very quaint also. We missed the last bus from Moreton in Marsh, but a phone call to The Crown and they helped us out with a pick up

Tierney

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The service was good. The food was good. The room however, was substandard. The carpet was very lumpy, as if there was no subfloor or underlayment flooring; and the carpet was directly on top of cobblestone. There were four steps up to the bath and tey were uneven rise and run making nighttime navigation risky. The towels had large holes in them. the room was not serviced and when I asked, they said every other day unless requested. How would I know? There’s supposed to be a sign; there wasn’t. The hot water faucet leaked when used, all over the floor. I should never have accepted this room!! Especially when I saw other rooms. We were two women and I really felt we got the short end of the stick!

Room for improvement

Arrived on curry night, which was delicious. Breakfast not great (Nescafé masquerading as filter coffee) under cooked bacon, over cooked egg. Staff are friendly and helpful. The whole place has something of the 1970s about it, the bed was not that comfortable and the headboard was not properly attached so that if you turn over in bed it bangs against the wall, giving the neighbours the impression that Ron Jeremy is on an all-nighter. Such a beautiful village. I’d say it’s good value, but could be so much better.

Excellent, very polite staff, superb small apartment in grounds rather than room in main building....it was quiet, clean & tidy, with the added benefit that I could park right outside of my room....

The staff at the Crown are friendly and are very polite. The pub serves very tasty food. The breakfast that was included in our stay was a full breakfast that was good. Blockley is a beautiful quiet village and we loved staying there. However; if you don’t have a car keep an eye on bus schedules and book taxis ahead of time

Hotel and our room were clean albeit a bit tired and could do with a bit of TLC. We have a dog and this hotel is very dog friendly, ate an excellent meal in the bar in the evening and a nice breakfast in the dining room. Staff were excellent throughout, only downfall was the road up to the car park through an archway and then a very bendy narrow road upwards and the car park itself which could be challenging for some.

Good hotel in pleasant village. Staff friendly. Car park has just enough off street spaces but access from street through main arch is difficult for larger cars do to age of the building.

Nice little hotel in the quiet village without trouists. People are very mince as well as the staff. A lots of birds are singing in the morning like camping site. The building is old so walk softly. If living in the top floor, it shouldn't be a problem.

A shadow of what was!

Was greeted warmly by staff, and after going through registration was escorted to my room, which was ancillary to the main hotel building, which was a disappointment from the get-go. The room was in what reminded me of a converted outhouse. Everything you expect from a hotel was there, a bed, en-suite shower room, coffee making facilities, towels and complimentary toiletries. The room boasted a largish flat TV. What was missing in my view was a chair and a bedside light. There was a stool for the vanity mirror, but sitting having a coffee in the room would have to be done on the bed. This was a large single occupancy with a double bed and very little room to move around it. Compact would suitably describe it. However for the money in the area it was good value. Wifi is offered, didn't have a device to try it. The room rate included breakfast, continental or Full English. The Full English was served to order, and I noticed that their was a significant difference in the breakfast regarding time of arrival, i.e. the sooner after service started , the hotter the food served. The breakfast items were OK, nothing special. Like all hotel restaurants they could do better, a mixture of under and over cooked items on the same plate. The coffee served was not to my taste. They have recently re-introduced real ale to their drinks menu, the dining menu didn't appeal but mirrored the online version except for price. Would I stay there again? Probably, but would opt for a room only tariff.

Great hotel ideally located to explore the area

We had a lovely relaxing break. The hotel was proper olde worldy, lots of period features and interesting layout. Being a very old property, some parts could benefit from a refresh. However, the place was clean, warm and cozy. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and plentiful. Especially good was the Sri Lankan set meal.

If you a doubt just book it you won’t be sorry!

It is an incredible stay. Blockley is an amazing walking town. The Crown is clean and affordable. The best part is the staff! Amazing and extremely professional. Breakfast was amazing! Great place for dinner and a pub. The stories the local tell are a lot of fun! And Father Browns church to boot!
