The Crown Inn Hotel

About

Nestled on Chiddingfold's picturesque village green, the Crown Inn is one of England’s oldest public houses, dating back to the 13th century. Originally a rest stop for Cistercian monks travelling to Canterbury, the inn grew from a simple alehouse into a grand accommodation house in the 14th century. Today, the Crown Inn offers an elegant blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort, housing eight well‑appointed bedrooms, a cosy bar with an inglenook fireplace, and a refined restaurant that serves both à‑la‑carta and bar menus. The inn was recently awarded the AA’s Highly Commended status and the Good Hotel Guide Editor’s Choice Award 2025, underscoring its commitment to quality service and a welcoming atmosphere.
