Positive Reviews

positive:

Idyllic setting makes for a pleasant stay.

The Rose & Crown Inn sits in a quiet spot in the middle of nowhere, which makes it ideal for those travelers looking to get away from it all. Past guests report that the village of Ashbury is picturesque and the surrounding countryside is nothing short of breathtaking.

positive:

Ideal for those walking the Ridgeway.

Past guests report that the inn is ideal for ramblers walking all or part of the ancient Ridgeway. The inn is close to Wayland’s Smithy and Uffington Castle, making it a good choice for overnight stays. The Ridgeway Explorer bus also stops in the village.

positive:

Menu offers tasty classics.

Visitors to the Rose & Crown are quick to praise the pub’s menu of traditional classics, which have been described as more than just pub grub. The only downfall is that diners can experience a long wait for food to be served.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Breakfast not included.

The Rose & Crown Inn may advertise as a Bed & Breakfast establishment but past guests are quick to point out that the cost of breakfast is not included in an overnight stay. Some guests report that the continental breakfast is overpriced for what it is.

negative:

Poor quality Wi-Fi signal.

Guests staying in the inn find that the complimentary Wi-Fi is not up to task. Guests report that the signal is weak and often unobtainable. Travelers looking to stay connected may wish to keep this in mind.

negative:

Service charge automatically added to bill.

A number of guests criticize the in-house policy of adding a non-discretionary ten per cent service charge to all food and drink bills. Many would prefer the choice of tipping the bar / restaurant staff.
