The Crown & Thistle

We are so pleased we chose the Crown and Thistle as the venue for our wedding, they were extremely accommodating especially for my terminally ill dad, they were quick to make alternate plans depending on his health and for the aisle walk and food options. The planning was an easy and stress free process, Greg was great in assisting us on the build up. The wedding day was amazing and went without a hitch, the staff were wonderful and checked in regularly with us. We had so many compliments from our guests about how good the food was too! We had a day to remember, thank you to everyone at the crown and thistle who contributed. We also had the honeymoon suite for the night which was beautiful and comfortable, the perfect place to unwind after a long day.

Perfect location. Close to the river, town, and Abbey Gardens. Lovely courtyard area. The receptionist was very friendly and professional. The room was clean and nicely decorated. Bottled water in the room was welcome on a hot day. We visited when it was 30°c and the air conditioning worked well, although oddly, the towel rail in the bathroom was on. Breakfast was varied and good quality. Great, friendly service in the restaurant. The shared areas of the hotel could do with tidying up and feel a bit unloved. Which is a shame as the staff are real gems.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel - the service was lovely and made all the difference! The food was top-notch, especially the berry smoothies and pastries, and I appreciated how attentive the staff were. The hotel itself could use a bit of a spruce up, though; the décor felt quite tired and the tea and coffee facilities were pretty basic. But overall, I’m looking forward to another visit for the great food and friendly service!
