The Crown Inn, Old Amersham

My wife and I stayed at the Crown Inn Amersham recently. What a brilliant spot. Great service (exceptional actually). A true quaint, olde world Inn in the beautiful old Town Amersham. Staff were outstanding. Upon checking out I left some clothes in the room by mistake. The team contacted us immediately and unfortunately; we were at Heathrow already flying home to Australia. The team at the Crown Inn arranged to package the clothes and have them mailed back to Australia. Received them today! Brilliant service. Thanks much!!!

Isle Crawford designed hotel, on first look very nice. Stylish hotel, boutique feel in a traditional 17th century coaching inn in the quant town of Old Amersham. A favourite for those going to Wembley or Heathrow. ||It was my birthday weekend, so last minute we booked into the Crown Inn. Our plan was to hike the Chilterns so we wanted a decent base to start from, plus somewhere to get dinner. ||If you intend to stay at The Crown I’d suggest the (very local) Griffin pub which locals say is much better. It has stellar reviews and excellent food apparently. So book dinner there instead as it’s a very short walk along the old high street. ||Dinner at The Crown was nice enough, I’m convinced they went to the local Tesco to get the desert as the wait time on the main course and the desert was enough to think there was a problem in a restaurant with only two other tables. My dinner was a bit cold when it arrived. Maybe the team had a function and were crazy busy, waiting 30 and 20 minutes between courses felt like a long stretch. ||The room was nice, stylish. But you can tell it’s a long time since Isle designed it, the TV didn’t have any features to mirror screen or stream which felt old fashioned for a boutique-ish hotel.||The showers are excellent! ||The issue we faced was our room was right above the main bar. By 12:50am when we couldn’t sleep due to the incessant noise of what appeared to be ‘last, last orders’ or a lock in, my partner had to go downstairs and ask them if we could stop the noisy hub bub!! Saturday night, I get it, but don’t put guests right over the noisy bar without the appropriate noise insulation. ||We received a small discount for the trouble. ||The breakfast was ok, buffet style and a few choices on a menu. The coffee was terrible.||Maybe it’s just our poor location - if you’re mindful get a room outside the main building. ||Shame, as I imagine when this hotel was first designed it was excellent. It’s now just a bit shabby and not very chic.

I have become somewhat of a regular at The Crown recently as I work a few days a week nearby and I absolutely love staying there. The rooms are so lovely, a friendly, quaint and luxurious feel. The hotel has a great location close to lots of lovely restaurants and not too far from Amersham tube/train station for a journey into London. I will keep coming back every week I'm sure. My job starts early in the morning so I have only been able to make the breakfast twice, but it is amazing!! Definitely would recommend.

If you’re looking to stay somewhere with a lot of character then look no further than The Crown Inn. Our room was beautifully spacious with a roll top bath and four poster bed. It had beautiful beams and oodles of character inside and out. It is fantastically located right in the centre of the Old town of Amersham and has free parking for guests at the rear of the hotel.

Although we were not in the room we had booked with the 4 poster bed and roll top bath, the staff had left us a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. As we were only there for 1 night and not staying to enjoy the Hotel or surrounding area, it would have been nice for them to honour this seeing as I did message to double check the room but had no reply. I checked a website against the name of the room and it was supposed to be a better one to what we stayed in. So I think we paid a high price for a standard room which is a bit annoying.

Overall I woud recommend this hotel but as it was lovely, the staff are very warming friendly and helpful. Some areas need some cleaning as there are a few windows covered in cobwebs. All the doors in the annex are extremly heavy and any disabled, old or frail persons would struggle to open and hold open. As everywhere there is only one disable parking slot which was occupied by a NON blue badge holder.||

had an excellent time at this B&B! The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even better. The breakfast was fantastic—fresh, tasty, and the perfect start to the day. Highly recommended!

Visited the Crown Hotel in Amersham recently. The staff were really nice and welcoming, and the vibe outside was lovely – a great spot to sit and relax. The food, however, was a bit of a let-down. I ordered the smashed burger, which was disappointing. It didn’t really qualify as a smash burger, more like a standard burger, and overall the food felt pretty average compared to the setting. A nice place for the atmosphere and service, but the food could definitely be improved.

Loved my room with its superbly firm bed, massive walk-in shower and lots of creature comforts. Would have preferred a room not directly above the street but honestly it wasn't a big deal (Amersham's a pretty sleepy place on a Saturday morning - not a lot of traffic related bustle outside). Brekkie was good and ample. Maybe if I would have had to pay for it separately, I wouldn't have been as happy with it, but as it was part of my b-n-b package I was pleased. However, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the spaced out and incredibly nonchalant attitude of one of the breakfast servers. "Yeah man" probably isn't the best way to answer the question of "May I have some more coffee". For the most part this 'dude' was more amusing than anything but he didn't have any clue how to do his job and seemed to just stand around with a dazed look on his face (I kinda think he might have been stoned). Personally, I didn't care all that much but I could see how older clientele (whom I think make up the majority of guests here) might have been incredibly irked. Dopey waiter aside, I'd stay at the Crown again. I found Amersham a pleasant village within easy reach of London (it's even on the Metropolitan Line!). Staff were friendly, the inn had a quaint feel to it and as I mentioned at the start of this review, I really liked the room.

We spent a weekend afternoon late lunch here after a long hike in the countryside. It was a very cold day and the Inn was welcoming. The decor was a combination of modern touches (minimalist furniture) mixed with the very old: wooden beams and floors, low ceilings, pewter bread plates. The food was very good, my only complaint is that portions were extremely small. After walking for nearly 3.5 hours, my friends and I were extremely hungry, and the portions just did not satisfy. Perhaps the portions are larger at dinner. Also, the staff seemed a bit uninterested and service was a bit slow. The menu wasn't large, but had enough choices. My pork loin was perfect, tender and moist. My friend had Venison three ways which was lovely as well. The appetizers of beetroot and blue cheese salad, while excellent, as I said, were on the small side. Everyone enjoyed their desserts of rhubarb crumble, sticky toffee pudding and lemon posset. The boys also enjoyed some rather nice real ale (can't recall the name, but then again the waiter didn't know it either) and I had some good Australian Shiraz. The place being very old, the dining room was rather drafty. They lit the fireplaces just as we were leaving. Although the food was good, I think it was a bit overpriced for the portion sizes. I would recommend going here for a few drinks in a beautiful setting. And possibly for a bite to eat, but don't expect a pub lunch, it's not very hearty.

Wonderfully warm and welcoming bar with local ales a roaring fire and original beams.
