Square Meal Review of Crown & Castle

Ruth ‘Country House Rescue’ Watson & her husband David bring you a retreat for all seasons: summer drinks on the terrace give way to weekend papers in front of a roaring log fire, & the food keeps pace with a degree of seasonal flexibility. The result could be a lunch of potted brown shrimps followed by Orford-landed skate with black butter, spinach & new potatoes, sautéed lamb’s kidneys on toast or steak & kidney pie with mash or chunky chips. Haunch of venison with gratin dauphinoise or a fish stew packed with cod, bream, mussels, plaice & squid could appear at dinner. Factor in an enticing wine list topped up with lots of bargain bin ends & a choice of super bedrooms, & you have a great place to eat & stay – less than two hours’ drive from London.

In theory only 90mins from London, so very convenient as a weekend destination. We are regular returning guests, over many years. Most recently in Dec 09. Its not perfect, but its always enjoyable and very restful.
In an attractive village in a very quiet coastal estuary setting.
Service is generally very good, with the staff being very helpful and charming.
We have always found the restaurant to be consistently good, and definitely a strong point of the hotel. It is anyway more like a restaurant with rooms, with no segregated lounge for hotel guests.
We like the relatively simple dishes, often using very good quality fresh local produce (had some great fish on our last visit). We’re not so keen on the decor and furnishings of the modernised bar area, which is not particularly “warm” or congenial, and more of a waiting room for the restaurant. The restaurant area decor seems to work much better and is warm and pleasant.
In summary. we’ve always had very enjoyable stays and meals, and we will be back again in 2010.
