The Crown is one of our favourite places to stay. We would never visit England without making a stop for a few days at The Crown in Chiddingfold! The staff are wonderful and welcoming! The rooms are comfortable and historic!
This is a charming hotel in a lovely location with excellent, friendly staff.
The only down side was we were staying during a heatwave and our room only had a fan rather than aircon. However, as the building is hundreds of years old - and charming, as a result - I can understand that it's very difficult to install this for the bedrooms.
Such a lovely hotel. Super clean and the most comfy sleep. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Love the history of the hotel.

Breakfast haphazard and a bit of a let down. A basket of toast is just two slices of toast so don’t order one to share. Ordered eggs on toast and the waitress even apologised when she brought it. Evening meals and drinks they do well. The room was nice but could do with a freshen up and proper clean. The road was shut the day we came for an event they could have easily told us so we arrived after it reopened.

Traditional with great staff
Brilliant service. Lovely staff. Great food. Excellent traditional pub bar.
Rooms could do with a bit of minor maintenance (broken blind and basin plug)
So much history it is unbelievable!
It is like stepping into a medieval time period!

We stayed here in the Tudor 4 poster room. While some of the reviews mentioned noise in some of the suites, we only heard guests downstairs when we were in the bathroom and then only in the afternoon. It was quiet in the evening / night. It was a great place to stay after a 5,000 mile trip from the Western US and recover from jet lag before going on to meet friends and family elsewhere in the UK. (It’s about a hour from Heathrow). The ford was good, the beer excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. And amazing to think that it’s been an alehouse and then an Inn since 1383. A business and a building with some serious staying power :)
Fabulous stay, food and service - always faultless visiting there!

Fab all round! An incredible building, steeped in history. Awesome staff, super attentive and great to chat to. Great food, wine and beer too. Absolutely spot on. Highly recommended - way better to support a local business anyhow, but this is worth a stop!
Lovely property on the edge of an idyllic village setting on a green. Staff were welcoming, room clean and tidy and food was lovely - the only thing that let it down was the cold shower and the fact that our friends could hear every word we said when we were in the bathroom area. We were in the new extension rooms

The weather was very hot and when asked for a fan one arrived immediately
Bedroom needs a mirror near the plug so when drying hair you can see what you are doing
We stayed here for my wife’s birthday and choose the Guardsroom as it had a four poster bed. The room is lovely with so much character
The staff are excellent and super attentive
The food was really nice, we had dinner and breakfast.
I really would recommend staying here as it cannot be faulted
Mysigt pubhotell i liten by. Be om rum på baksidan
Hotellet ligger vid en stor väg. Pga vädret var vi tvungna att sova med öppet fönster. Väcktes kl 0430 av tunga lastbilar. Fick byta till rum på baksidan natt 2.
