Great night in Faringdon

What a gem, a great one night stopover at a fantastic old coaching house in the Cotswolds. Great host and staff, fabulous food, special mention to the chef and a great wine list to compliment .

Plenty of secure parking available, which was really convenient. I’ve eaten here before and the food is always amazing, though I didn’t dine in this time. My room was lovely and had a quaint charm, with what felt like centuries of history built into it. I was given an upgrade, which was very comfortable, but unfortunately it was right on the road and could be quite noisy. The bathroom was a little dated, but still functional. Overall, a characterful stay with great facilities—I’d happily return.

Perfect base for a tour of the Cotswolds.

Great place to stay. The accommodation is full of character, the staff are really friendly and welcoming, good food and the town is really nice. Excellent little coffe shop opposite. Give it a try.

Feedback on Stay

I had a wonderful experience considering there was a 3 day music festival right outside the Inn. I had a slight issue with parking and luggage but the whole experience had been wonderful. The Hotel Manager upgraded my room.

Stayed in this lovely accommodation for a couple of nights with our 3 year old son. Our family room was spacious, clean, tidy and comfortable. Just a tiny issue with the size of our bed only because of my partner being 6'2", maybe it's just something that the inn can consider looking at. The area was really good in terms of shops if you need some basic supplies, café and some good options for food. Not too far to drive to other villages in Cotswolds and nearby areas. Our breakfast here at The Old Crown Coaching Inn was brilliant. We all enjoyed the quality of the food. The staff were lovely and friendly. Will definitely recommend this place..

We were unfortunate to arrive on the day of a music festival in the hotel’s central courtyard so no parking available for my disabled husband and deafening noise. The manager was helpful in offering us a quieter room although the noise still penetrated and the smell of bad drains in the bathroom was very unpleasant. The pub across the road was permanently closed and we couldn’t find anywhere nearby open for dinner so ended up with scones and cake (very good) from bakery. The following morning, coffee & granola in the small cafe/gift shop across the road was very good - but our stay in Faringdon was certainly not we had expected!

We had a lovely stay here, the room had all the amenities you could need for a long weekend, and the staff were friendly. Courtyard is lovely for a drink in the afternoon sunshine.

Quaint, quirky coaching in with fab food and rooms

excellent restuarant and food. Breakfast was excellent interms of quality and freshness of produce. e.g eggs free range with bright orange yolks, backon looked dry cured and no white foam, everything exceptionally done. Also dined for evening in Ballroom resturant we had Crispy belly pork and summer salad with flank steak, again exceptional.

Great place, shame about the staff

A great property with a great owner/manager. One of the best places we stayed at during a 15 night road trip. We also had the added bonus of arriving on Folly Festival day and enjoying the courtyard DJs. We had an excellent evening amongst the locals. Rather sadly though, the owner was let down by his young bar staff who couldn’t care less or find it in them to offer meaningful assistance when we arrived to find roads closed and no parking. Having seemingly been blamed for not knowing and been spoken to as though we knew the area, it was left to us to find somewhere before we paid to park and lugged our baggage across town in 30 degrees heat. The two barmaids do not seem to have accepted the validity of our disappointment because later that evening in the bar we were pointedly made to wait to be served as they continued their conversations and then when we were served we were overcharged. £5:50 for a pint is acceptable, but £7 for half pint of apple juice straight out the carton? Really? Feeling unwelcome we avoided the bar for the rest of the evening rather than expose ourselves to the rest of their repertoire.

Rip off breakfast charges, overpriced poor steak

Stay was ok. Parking was only available for 12 or so cars so was full although I did arrive after 7pm and found a space about 8.30 when a couple of diners left. Food was good, but when I made a slight complaint about the toughness of the £35 rib eye I didn't receive much of an apology or offer to change. The icing on the cake was at breakfast. I chose not to pay in advance with the room just in case I had to leave early, however it stated on hotels.com breakfast was £15. The breakfast menu stated, guests staying with us get to choose the following breakfast choices, along with a choice of tea or coffee and a glass of apple or orange juice'. I was advised the evening before breakfast was £15 for guests. When I settled the room bill, I was charged £15, plus £3.50 for filter coffee and £3.00 for concentrated orange juice. I tried to politely argue that must be incorrect, but apparently no, breakfast was only inclusive of drinks if prepaid. I said this was not made clear and suggested it was taken off and he bill. It wasn't and I felt awkward and annoyed having to pay. The lady at breakfast would not budge on this..I tried to call during the day and received no reply at first. When I called at lunchtime to ask if this was correct I was promised a call back which was not received. Overall disappointing as the hotel had plenty of character and the evening stuff were friendly and had great beer. I just basically felt ripped off.

Expectations comfortably exceeded - thank you!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here this weekend. We booked to stay in the Superior Double Room (also called the Junior Suite) and the hotel very kindly upgraded us to the Honeymoon Double Room (the Master Suite). This is a lovely spacious and tastefully decorated room with an excellent en-suite and a super comfortable bed. It is above the main public bar of the hotel but, unless you want to go to bed really early, this is not a problem, even on a busy Saturday, as it closes at 11pm and not much of the noise makes it up through the floor anyway. We certainly did not hear anything after that and enjoyed a perfect night's sleep. Breakfast is menu style rather than buffet and was delicious. All in all the hotel definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you.
