The finest room in the house. Set in the original part of the inn, the Hopton Suite has a generous sitting area, a massive bathroom with both a freestanding bath and a separate shower, and the kind of space that makes you wish you'd booked for longer. Ideal for a proper treat or a special occasion.

King-sized beds in rooms packed with original features — beams, thick stone walls, the creaks and quirks of a very old building. These rooms have power showers and all the modern comforts, but the character is entirely their own. Book a Heritage King and you'll feel like you're properly staying in a coaching inn, not just near one.

A self-contained ground-floor studio in Duck Pond Cottage, with its own kitchen and dining area, a comfortable living and sleeping space, and private access to a pretty garden. Perfect for longer stays, couples who want their own front door, or anyone who'd rather not share a corridor with anyone else.

Snug, spotless and exactly what you need when you're spending most of your time outside. These rooms are in the newer part of the inn or in the cottage buildings — no period features, but well-appointed, quiet, and very comfortable. The beds are good and the showers are hot. Sometimes that's all that matters.

With a double and a single bed, our family rooms give a family of three the space to spread out without the cost of two separate rooms. Children are well used to the Crown, and so are their parents.
