I had a lovely stay, at little crown. Everything is lovely, lovely location, very clean and modern fittings. The owner even went out of his way and left some milk and nice biscuits for tea. Thank you Matthew. ##### Elnora Mtandani From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy Farr 12 May 2025 #### Lovely cottage. Lovely cottage. Very cosy. It is in a really pretty village with brilliant dog walking on the doorstep. There is a garden at the front that is not fenced, so our dog couldn't sit outside (which he likes to do), but this was a minor issue. The owners are excellent and very attentive. The electric charge point also took away any worries about charging the car. It is also bigger than it looks in the photos! Definitely recommended. ##### Cathy Farr Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria I. 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Definitely one of our favourites!!Little Crown is a superb old pub conversion with high grade fixtures and fittings ... the towels and bedding were notably top quality. Oh, and as someone who loves her kitchen implements, I had knife a scissor envy (random comment I know!)Communication was great, location gave us good access to the places we wanted to explore, and it was easy to find. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay, and would definitely recommend! ##### Maria I.
