“The Old Crown offers a truly unique experience, steeped in history within its 656-year-old pub setting. Expect authentic charm and lively evenings, though the age of the building also brings some quirks to the rooms. While the immediate area is less appealing, the pub's atmosphere and character more than compensate, for me.”
