The Crown Inn

Mi è piaciuto: Very friendly owners and staff.
Located in the beautiful village of Bishops Cannings, once described as the most quintessential English village.
A short drive from Devizes, Avebury and Marlborough. So many historical sites within half an hour’s drive.
Plenty of space, nice and clean toilet and showers.
We didn’t eat at the pub or use the WiFi, so can’t comment on either of those.

Mi è piaciuto: Nothing to like from the experience we had

Non mi è piaciuto: I was contacted the day before we were due to stay (after 3pm ) to be told that the pub had been unexpectedly closed for a week and wouldn’t be serving food, but drinks would be available.
When we arrived we attempted to enter the pub for a drink to be told we couldn’t have a drink as they were closed.
I told the woman that we were told drinks would still be available and the response I got was ‘first we are told one thing, then another…… what do you want?’ We were finally served with a drink, but seemed begrudgingly and not very welcoming! Also told we had to sit outside and could only stay til 7pm
All in all a very expensive night for a field (which later turned into a car park for a private event at the pub) without the facilities that were advertised ……

£35 for this was very overpriced and we were not given the opportunity to book anywhere else due to the late notice

Dal gestore: Sorry that the previous owners did not meet your expectations. We are new owners that have just taken over the campsite. Please do come again and try the site out again.

Mi è piaciuto: Location, peaceful, quiet, spacious.

Non mi è piaciuto: No pub food (chef had left). Toilets and ablutions not very clean. No washing up facilities. Only two toilets and showers for the entire site. Expensive for so few facilities.

Mi è piaciuto: Nice camping field and pub garden

Non mi è piaciuto: No chef at the pub but not forewarned and this was the reason for chosing the site. Two toilets with showers so if someone in the shower, cannot use toilet. Not many campers but had to wait an age for toilet and not very clean. Only outdoor tap appeared to be a hose for plants and worst was no washing up facilities. Very expensive considering no electric.

Mi è piaciuto: Amazing space behind but still connected to the pub area. Very dog friendly with lots of water stations and free Pooh bags dotted about. Staff were very friendly as were the patrons. Very homely feel and clean warm washing facilities.

Non mi è piaciuto: For me was that the large bins are the first thing you see and smell into the camping area, maybe a kitchen area behind the marquee for washing and cleaning up etc.

Mi è piaciuto: The pub, the spaciousness, the quietness.

Non mi è piaciuto: Only two toilets, which isn't enough when lots of people are staying. In the morning there was a wait, as everyone in the campsite wanted to use toilet and/or shower (which are in the same room). One of the toilets was not clean and didn't seem to have been attended to at the end of the evening - perhaps pub staff could do this before clocking off?

Mi è piaciuto: Pub was nice and staff were friendly.

Non mi è piaciuto: Very basic field. No level pitches.
Limited facilities.
Only 2 toilets. No facilities to wash dishes, although the staff did give us hot water from the pub.
We managed OK as there was only 6 people staying on the site.
Not sure how the site would manage during busy times.
