The Rose and Crown

Our second time coming back and had another excellent stay. Highly recommended

Our hosts were very friendly and the food was excellent. A few little glitches which I am sure they will iron out as they progress. The in room wifi only worked a few hours after they reset it. Then stopped again. The mixer taps on the bath were modern 1/4 turn taps, great until you want to balance the hot and cold for a shower We had to find them to remind over water for the table and to place our order for wine after they brought the wine list. Unexpected as there were only 1 or 2 other tables for dinner. Overall ok, we would certainly consider to stop here again.

Liked the inn itself. Liked the converted stables to guest rooms.

Stayed overnight here with my 12 year old son en route to the Channel Tunnel. Nice big double room in separate block behind the hotel with large bathroom in need of some TLC. Big issue for us was that the restaurant was closed as they had no Chef which having read other reviews seems to have been the case for some time. We should have been told this beforehand so that I could make alternative arrangements. Overall impression was of a business dying on its feed

This was a one night stay to meet up with friends in the village. Elham is a pleasant village with three pubs within a short walk of each other, each with very different characteristics. Our room (£100 icluding breakfast) was a large double in the old stable block with a high loft style ceiling into the roof. It was chilly on arrival and we cranked up the electric wall heaters and the separate plug in heater. We spent very little time in the room other than to sleep and then shower in the morning. With the heaters on the room was warm enough. The bed was comfortable. There is evidence of some damp on the bathroom wall. In general the staff were friendly and, after a slow booking in experience, attentive. We had our evening meal in the bar area as the dining room appeared to be closed, possibly due to lack of bookings or staff. The table we had was rather dark for eating and I asked for a candle to be brought to the table. The food was adequate but the portions a bit small in my opinion. The cooked breakfast the next morning was tasty. We had been asked to complete a breakfast form and hand it in the day before. I had items on my plate that I had not requested on the form but I didn't raise this point.

We loved our stay at the The Rose And Crown. Just want we needed for the weekend, as we were in the vicinity for a wedding.

Friendly helpful staff, fabulous rooms, cosy bar

Very friendly and high standard

Ideal location, rooms are large and immaculate. Pet friendly, peaceful and staff very helpful. Full english breakfast included in cost of room - food delicious - would definitely recommend visit.
