Best Western Crown Hotel

A very warm welcome at reception, very pleasant hotel my only objection was walking in from the car park into the hotel the lovely swimming pool and swimmers was seen by all, I think some blinds are called for to keep the dignity of the user's. Good selection of food on the menu and very tasty, staff were very helpful and friendly, the room was a little on the small size, but very clean a comfortable bed, as it was an old coaching inn its difficult sometimes to alter room sizes. We stayed for 3 nights and it suited us for travelling around the area. nice big secure car park. we would certainly stay there again. Barbara less

Stayed here for 1 night while working in the area. Lovely location with secure car parking provided free of charge. Very friendly staff and efficient check in. The decor is old fashioned but this suits the style of the hotel and is very clean. The room was nice with all amenities you need, and was a decent size with large bathroom and good shower. The food in the bar area was excellent with a good early bird menu for just £8.95, I had the fish cake salad and was not disappointed, and drinks are quite reasonably priced, and the breakfast was amazing with lots of choice and all hot breakfasts are cooked fresh to order. Fabulous leisure facilities with good size swimming pool too, and there is seating outside the hotel which was perfect for the warm evening while I was there, I highly recommend this hotel. less

Stayed recently. A good hotel, good food, good service, decent welcome. Secure car park. But.... The room was very small even though a double, and the bathroom even smaller. The rate was not cheap and how they ever get the 'headline' rate I have no idea. Although clean and tidy something nagged at me about the décor which was slap-dashed over whatever was underneath as if it was a cheap job. However it is an old hotel and doesn't have the clean lines of the newer lodge types, so I wont labour the point. less

We were at The Camping and Caravan Club site in Boroughbridge and after spending the early evening putting the tent up we decided the best option was to eat out. It was after 9pm when we wandered into the bar at the hotel. It was also a Saturday night in the week leading up to Easter but the staff were very helpful and welcoming, especially since we had three children with us aged, 2, 6 and 9. Having said that the kids are normally well behaved. I went for fish and chips and the fish was a real nice piece of chunky cod. There was also a kid's menu. All in all it was a nice place to eat and a lovely environment to be in after spending two hours unloading the car and putting the tent up. It was not cheap. About 15 to 16 quid for a main, but it is a Best Western hotel so on that score it's probably about average. There is a swimming pool and leisure club there too but we never saw it. less

Returned for a 2 night stay. Dinner 1st night was excellent, and afterwards watched Sergio Garcia win the Masters. Very good breakfast the next morning served by very friendly staff. Next morning drove out to Bridlington (not recommended) but ended our trip in Ripon where the cathedral was most interesting. less
