8 of us had a fabulous meal at The Crown on New Year's day. Oysters, mussels and steaks - all perfectly cooked to individual preferences, which is no mean feat. We love the relaxed atmosphere and efficient service here and will return when we can.

Cancelled our booking for a special meal on the last night of our holiday with 4 hours notice despite the booking being made the previous day. Busy Friday evening so unable to book anywhere else. Thanks for ruining the end of our holiday.

One of the main reasons i wanted to write this review is of course. The food was fantastic. Fresh & of very good quality. The staff were lovely. The room was beautifully clean. The decor lovely. But the bed was so comfortable. I had the best sleep OF MY LIFE. I woke up feeling 10yrs younger. Plus room service brought me the best sausage & tomato sauce sandwich. The sauce was sweet & rich. (Just how i like my men!!) The sausage was meaty, real butter & the bread was thick cut. I made myself a lovely hot cup of tea. A nice golden brown. 1 sugar. Plumped up my pillows. (Sounds rude!) I know you shouldnt

Grateful for the queue outside The Globe otherwise we would've missed out on the fresh delicious lunch, friendly service & quiet, somewhat hidden outside dining area. Well-filled sandwiches with a not-your-standard-side-salad & one of the best desserts I've had in a while - orange & almond cake nestled against a pool of chocolate, topped with clotted cream ice cream & a tiny sprig of mint. The decaf. coffee was nicely prepared too. Will definitely be back to see what other local food creations are on the menu & what locally brewed beers are available - ask as not all beer options are on the ever
