Crown Hotel Stone

Hotel has been recently upgraded with excellent bathrooms and newly refurnished bedrooms. Never stayed in this part of U.K. - thriving street market /street food event once per month; sense of a ‘fight back’ and good on them. Worth a visit

Good parking and easy to find. There was a £100 deposit I had to pay which wasn’t mentioned when booking the hotel. The room was nice but the shower had no water pressure and made it difficult to use.

The place needs work, but the wonderful staff are committed to bringing it back to its former glory. I can't speak highly enough of the staff.

Ok, good staff but no Internet first night, restaurant closed not so good for business travellers. No relly due to no Internet. First impressions, meh ! They also missedI had asked for breakfast, so overall a bit disappointing. They need to raise their game q bit.

Ok, here's what was a beautiful Georgian hotel with the front registered as a listed building. No one has done any maintenance work on the front. There are cracks in mortar and one cracked window. There is still what looks like bin liners holding the roof on. And that has been like that for years. Now under another management, they ate least have some beers on tap and lemons behind the bar. which they didn't have a few years ago. I actually went out and bought them some lemons one year. The website says the rooms have been refurbished. Hmmm. I had a broken light switch. A toilet that I had to take apart to fix the flush system. Shower taps I could hardly turn one off or regulate the temperature. In one corridor, a door marked "PRIVATE" had been kicked in and was hanging off its hinges. Some one could at least have shut it and hidden the line store. "Each room is meticulously designed to provide a neat and inviting ambiance." My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a long and interesting menu but none of it available at lunchtime. It's in a great position, right on the High Street but it is slowly falling to bits. It needs a ton of money spending on and I doubt anyone ever will spend that money. It's one thing tidying up the rooms a bit the reputation is becoming a bit of a joke.

Would never stay again. Lights and hair dryer didnt work. Reported to staff, wss told they would look into it and they never did. Bed was uncomfortable, the sofa bed was comfier. The shower tray was dirty, hair in the bath. If you have a young child and use a pram avoid as there is no lift to get upstairs.
