We were looking for somewhere to stay on a Saturday night while visiting Clarksonland (previously known as the Cotswolds) and we fell on our feet by finding the Old Crown in Faringdon. The place is a labyrinthine old inn dripping in history. We stayed in room 1 overlooking the market square., It has a high, beamed ceiling, a very comfortable king sized bed and a large TV which unusually has netflix, Amazon prime and Disney in addition to the usual channels. The ensuite bathroom had a powerful hot shower. The main bar had a selection of real ales and premium lagers and, as Saturday night is live music night, was packed to the rafters with friendly locals enjoying the band. We staggered back to our room around midnight (we didn't have an evening meal). After a good night's sleep, breakfast was served in the ballroom restaurant at the back of the building. We had the full English and it was as good any we've had - quality ingredients expertly cooked - the black pudding was outstanding. I'm struggling to think of any cons. The carpark is a bit tight, though parking in the market square is ok on a Saturday night, oh and the radiator is a little small in the room, I imagine it could get chilly in the coldest weather. But really this place a little gem, great staff and great value for money.
This is a lovely, modern hotel. The room was small - we booked the queen room - but it was clean and comfortable with daily house keeping. The shower was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. There was some lovely shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion in the room. We had tea, coffee, water and biscuits in the room and this was replenished daily. Breakfast was lovely and came with juice and a really good cup of coffee. The staff are so attentive. We felt like VIP guests. We ate at the Snooty Mehmaan twice and the food is exceptional, probably the best Indian food we’ve ever had. The hotel is in a great location for exploring the local area. I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel.

Lovely place to stay, easy if you want to visit more places in the cotswolds. You can feel the history here! Lots of stairs to climb. Our room was quite small, but very clean. The window was a bit of a hassle, was very difficult to get some fresh air in the room. Nice pub which was quite busy. Very friendly staff. Breakfast was what you need from a breakfast. You could choose whatever you liked from the menu, and if you wanted more it was no problem. I would definitely recommend the New Inn
