- YYasmin, Facebook07/11/2018We were lucky enough to discover The Crown Inn on We were lucky enough to discover The Crown Inn onWe were lucky enough to discover The Crown Inn on our search for the perfect wedding venue and we have never regretted our decision to hold our wedding here! It was wonderful to have such excellent support and good communication from the staff there in the run up to and during our day, they made us feel like nothing was too much and were flexible with our choices for the day. The venue is beautiful in its own right and they allowed us to make our own decorative decisions to make it that little bit more personal to us. The food couldn’t be faulted - it was beautiful and all our guests commented on how delicious everything was. They catered to a number of dietary requirements on the day including strict vegetarians and gluten free and this was done seamlessly and with no fuss. We had an amazing and very special day and never once felt like anything was out of control or confused.

- DDavina & Tom, Trip Advisor Review07/11/2018Worthy of 10 stars in every aspect!Worthy of 10 stars in every aspect!We had our wedding here mid-September, and it was the most perfect, most fantastic day! The food was absolutely delicious.. Prawn cocktail - delightful; beef medallions - melted in your mouth; trio of desserts - exquisite. 15 of the wedding party ate here the night before the wedding, and the food was equally as delicious. The staff here are phenomenal! The friendliest, politest, most courteous people you could ever wish for, who go above and beyond their call of duty. I had a cake disaster, whereby it melted and destructed in my car on the way to the venue. In stepped Matt (the venue's pastry chef), who took one look at the disintegrated, catastrophic mess that was in a hundred pieces and said to leave it with him, he'll do what he can to salvage it. He spent 2 hours working on it, and by what can only be described as wizardry (and a huge amount of talent), he reconstructed us the most beautiful, fabulous cake! I will never know how he did it, and can't thank him enough! When guests couldn't get taxis back to their accommodation, Becky (bar manager) went out of her way to give people lifts in her own car. She was incredible and so kind, and helped coordinate such a perfect day. Georgia, who was in charge of running the wedding, was beyond amazing. The whole day was run so smoothly, and Georgia couldn't do enough for us! The rest of the staff were all amazing too, and so many of our guests commented on it. The venue itself is stunning, beautiful, yet quirky round the edges, which is what made us fall in love with the place. The management will do as much or as little as you want to help, and they don't charge you extra for all the help they put in. Essentially all you pay for is the food and drink, and in return you get the most fantastic venue, staff, food and memories. I can't thank the Crown Inn Team enough nor recommend them highly enough!! As much as I would like the venue to remain as our little secret, it's only fair to shout about it!We had our wedding here mid-September, and it was the most perfect, most fantastic day!

- BBrian & Kirsty, Facebook07/11/2018The staff couldn’t have been more attentive and thThe staff couldn’t have been more attentive and thHad our wedding here July 27th. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive and the food was just divine. We had some unique ideas, but nothing was too much. From helping set up the night before, to the perfectly planned timeline; they looked after everything and it really did feel like they cared. As all weddings go, there were nerves beforehand about the day ahead, but as soon Leigh stepped he, he took the lead, ensuring the day ran perfectly with his confidence and experience. Georgia was fantastic in the lead up with communications (and of course on the day, you’re going to do great!!) Thank you to every single person who was behind the scenes. We tried to talk to as many people as possible - but if we missed anyone - we really did appreciate your effort and it didn’t go unnoticed. Brian and Kirsty Had our wedding here July 27th.
