The Crown at Stoke by Nayland

Stoke by Nayland, Suffolk

Press Reviews

The Travel Editor
"A mere 90 minute drive from the Capital, the privately owned Crown Inn is luxurious and 'boutique' but not pretentious; welcoming and efficient but not OTT... The Crown Inn isn't perfect, but I found myself wishing that all hotels – especially those claiming to be 'boutique' and luxurious – could follow its lead in attention to service, quality of food, and focus on detail."

The Telegraph, December 2008
"The Crown blends old-world character with modern, brasserie-style dining. With its white walls and jumble of tiled roofs, its sun trap of a terrace and neat green picket fence, and its mix of sofas and banquettes, its flagstone floor and kitchen open to view on the inside, it presents the ideal country hostelry for modern urban man."

The atmosphere is buzzy, the service beyond reproach, the wine list excellent value for money. The food, produced by a busy team in the kitchen, nearly lives up to the rest, though results are mixed... [Despite] excellent storage and superb bathrooms, we all agree that the bedrooms could do with more personal touches."

    Save to favouritesPrintMailThe Crown at Stoke by NaylandThe Crown began its days as a simple pub. It became a rather more food-focused pub in 2003, then a pub with rooms in 2008. Nowadays it's award-winning; one of Suffolk's gastro gems. Set in a historic village in the depths of Constable country, it's bursting with character - leather armchairs, tartan sofas, low beams, local ales. Outside, an alfresco terrace brims with flowers; just beyond are green fields and water meadows. Locals come for a drink and stay for a while. Sink into leather armchairs by the fire to read the papers, then order exceptional local food: just-caught fish, farm sausages, straight-from-the-ground veg. The wine list is excellent, the staff warmly welcoming. Afterwards, wander around the back to the attractive 11-[r:UK083:room] hotel. Everything is in place for a relaxing stay; kingsize beds, power showers, a DVD library. Sleep deeply, then stride out for a country walk, or visit nearby wool towns and the Suffolk coast. Wonderfully restorative; we loved it.
