An imposing three-gabled building set slightly back on the A6. On entering there are large rooms left and right. Going forward into the bar area take note of the special tiles set at intervals round the bar. To the right is a large wooden screen which hides the entrance to the gents and on the left is a fine carved staircase leading to a large upstairs function room. The wide arch at the rear of the bar gives a more open aspect to the rear room. On the right of the rear door is a small room containing a pool table and a new door gives access to a newly constructed smoking area. The bar and each of the rooms have large TV screens. At the rear is a good sized car park and beyond a large well used bowling green, home to the Crown Hotel Bowling Club with some sixty plus members split into nine teams, the whole being enclosed by a wall and trees. Refurbished October 2020.
