Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Crown House Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently praise the Crown House Hotel for its comfortable and clean bedrooms, often located in a separate, quiet block with ample parking. The freshly cooked breakfast, prepared to order rather than offered as a buffet, is a highlight for many. While some guests have noted that the building is old, the convenient location near Stansted Airport makes it a popular choice, and the lovely outdoor area provides a relaxed setting for enjoying a drink.

friendly stafftraditional breakfast
the staff were helpful and friendly. the breakfast was lovely and traditional. arrived late, i was welcomed and they made me an omelette, even though they weren't doing evening meals. the breakfast was great.
something was a disappointment. i was in an adjacent building, it had very little ventilation on a warm evening. i had to wedge my door open with the windows open to bring it down to a comfortable sleep temperature.

what a find!

fresh ingredientskind staffquiet patio gardencreaky floorboards
the breakfast i had included plenty choices and fresh ingredients. the staff were so kind and always ready for help, this made my mornings super easy. i used the patio garden often, it was quiet. the bar area was pretty cool too.
the floorboards are creaky near rooms, and i could hear people passing by. its old, so it does add character, but i did notice the sounds at night.
Location

the hotel is set in a calm area which is ideal, i think, if you want to get away a bit from the city. it is away from main roads, so there is hardly any traffic. you can easily access the surrounding areas.

The room was warm and a good size, as was the bathroom. staff were friendly and helpful. It was nice. the location was close to the duxford air museum also. breakfast was excellent, served by friendly staff though.
