The Crown

We had a lovely stay at The Crown following a day in Oxford and then a trip around Blenheim Palace before coming home again the following day. On arrival the bar staff helped me with local parking spots, and then upon check in we was given a complimentary upgrade to a bigger room (4) which was a lovely surprise. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. My suitcase was kindly taken upstairs for me, along with fresh water and milk for the room. We had a lovely roll top bath and shower in the bathroom with robes and essential toiletries included. We went out for dinner in the evening to a restaurant nearby and headed back to The Crown for a couple of drinks before bed. The bed was really comfy and we got a good night sleep, before waking for breakfast which was included in our stay. Food was lovely and freshly cooked to order. 100% recommend The Crown, we was made to feel very welcome by the staff who couldn't have been friendlier and we will certainly re book if we come to visit again .

Stayed in room 4, bridal room, with my daughter for the eve of her wedding. This room was amazing - so large and roomy with a warm feeling and such a comfortable bed. We had bridesmaids and hair & makeup join us for the morning & the size of room made it so enjoyable. Breakfast delivered was fantastic. The service was impeccable from start to finish, from top level to waiting staff.

We stayed at the Crown on a visit to Blenheim Palace. A listed building, the crown is more a casual cafe bar than a pub so don’t expect a boozer with rooms! A chilled feel down stairs, open fire at the back with friendly, helpful staff and a nice selection of drinks and cakes, along with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast was lovely, as vegetarians we could not fault the selection on the breakfast menu. We had booked a room with a roll top bath and open bathroom, on arrival they had kindly upgraded us, however it did not have a bath. After a quick discussion with the manager he kindly upgraded us again to the family suite.. which we absolutely loved and was very much our vintage mash style (even with our own coffee table in the room !) They happily added decaf coffee and oat milk to our room (which has a mini fridge) We were very happy with The crown, it’s not a 5 star establishment so we did not expect that, however watching all the ducks walking about like gangsters made our trip even better! We are used to the New forest; so used to horses and cows roaming round, but roaming ducks was a new one to us.. we loved it.
