Nothing not to like. It’s just what you need when on a road trip.

The location is quiet and central. The rooms are modern and spotlessly clean. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful as always as we have stayed before. The food is traditional, well presented and tasty. An excellent selection of condiments in the room and the bed linen fresh, clean and ironed. Ample parking outside.

Nothing really . If I was being picky breakfast was rather slow on one morning.

Wonderful hotel which punches above its weight . Attention to detail in the spacious extremely comfortable room was impressive . Fresh milk, biscuits, unlimited bottled water and face flannels are examples . Room was light and airy with everything you’d need plus comfortable bed . Super breakfast . Appreciation case being carried up to our room on arrival.

The room was comfortable, warm and well appointed. Breakfast was tasty, as were the evening meals we had. All in all a very pleasant stay at a place which deserves recommendation.

The main problem was the steep steps up to the room. Very hard to take your bags up to your room. The room was small and nowhere to put your bags. Had to put them on chairs and that blocked the door to get in and out of the room.

The breakfast was great very filling. The dinner the night before was also very good and lots of food.

Room was very clean and comfortable. A delicious breakfast was cooked fresh to order, with a good selection to choose from. We also enjoyed an evening meal too. Hosts have a good knowledge of the area, recommending places to visit.

The room was beautifully fitted out and very comfortable with everything you could need including fresh milk and a cafetiere and ground coffee to make proper coffee. The breakfast was lovely too - very generous with quality ingredients. We recommend this for an overnight stay. It was perfect as a stop on our way back home.

Nothing it was perfect

Lovely rooms, the bed was very comfortable and the room had a large en suite with a great power shower. Tea and coffee facilities in the room with extra fresh milk and bottled water in a small fridge in the reception area that you can help yourself to. The menu for both breakfast and daytime/evening meals had lots of choices and the food was cooked to perfection, very generous portions too. Private parking is also available

Only downside is the stairs up to the rooms and that’s only because I travelled with elderly parents. Apart from that it was great.

Lovely rooms. Clean and fully equipped.

The accommodation at the Rose and Crown was excellent and could not be faulted. Well-appointed modern rooms with all the right touches; fresh coffee, tea, biscuits and bottled water. Wonderful bathroom and shower and a comfortable bed. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, sampling the fish and chips and home-made Cottage pie with a couple of pints of Butcombe bitter. The breakfast in the morning was also excellent. Staff were friendly and welcoming. This is somewhere I would definitely recommend.

Mobile data connection is not great which can affect paying taxi by card but there is free WiFi in the property so for personal use the mobile data is not an issue. The mobile data issue is of course not the establishments fault and is due to lack of mast cover I the area.

The Rose & Crown exceeded our expectations in every way including value for money. Excellent breakfast in the morning which set us up for the day to the extent that we did not eat again until dinner in the evening. Very good facilities in the bedrooms with real coffee and complimentary bottled water. The real ale in the bar was also kept in excellent condition. We will definitely book here again if we are going to the Poole area.

We found the stairs outside quite difficult

Breakfast was excellent, found the menu for evening meals limited would have liked more choice of things like jacket potatoes All the staff were very friendly and helpful ,

Door slammed shut noisily and the bed head banged on the wall when you turned over in bed

Seems to be recently refurbished and the facilities were lovely. They provided extra little touches like a communal fridge with bottles of water and a bottle of milk for tea/coffee with little jugs to take it back to the room. Lovely breakfast.
