What a gem! If you are looking for a charming and affordable place to stay in the London area, look no further. Located in adorable Godalming and a quick 45-min train ride into the heart of London, the Rose and Crown was perfect for our family of 4. We stayed in the Juliet room, which has two separate sleeping areas: a very comfortable queen bedroom with en-suite, and a secluded little Hobbit room for kids (the beds are small, so itâs not ideal for taller teenagers). The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the gal serving breakfast twice prepared us a to-go pastry box for us to eat on the train as we raced out the door in the morning. On this vacation, we stayed in 5 different inns across England, and Rose and Crown was our favorite.
I arrived a few hours early, but my room was available immediately. A lovely room with modern bathroom. I was in the single, which served my needs very well. Well heated. No problem with noise. Very close to train station. Godalming is a beautiful town.
Very old building (as in 15th century) which is interesting, but a badly done cheap conversion in terms of fixtures, fitting, workmanship. The single electric heater in the room wasn't switched on until we arrived at 7pm, when it read 7°C! Took until about midnight to get to 21°C - luckily we were out for most of the evening. Towels & toilet wall had dubious marks on them. Fire alarm went off at 9am Sunday morning, we awoke, rushed to get presentable, got outside, to be told it was a test! Staff were lovely, location great, but I'm afraid I wouldn't stay there again.
Charming Inn with inviting pub and patio below. Room with a view. small bunk bed for young kida. Comfortable bed for adults.
Remember this was built long ago--so the steep stairs and narrow passages are part of the charm. bathroom up a flight of stairs. Everyone enjoyed the pub and food and it was quiet after 11. Great location.
We stayed for one night, our first stay here.
Very convenient for visiting our son.
Very friendly staff.
Generous, clean, private room.
Would stay again.
Thank you
