The Crown
The Crown re-opened in 2003 after extensive refurbishment and has rapidly attracted a dining clientele from miles around.
The AA rosette restaurant sources, where possible, local produce for a regularly evolving menu and fishboard. September 2008 saw the opening of a new block of 11 stylish rooms quietly located to the rear of the property. Each room is individually decorated and comfortably furnished, with handcrafted beds and Henderson Russell furniture.
Three rooms have super-king size beds, three have French windows opening onto their own terraces, and one ground floor room is suitable for guests of limited mobility.
All have walk-in Matki showers, Egyptian cotton towels and the latest gadgets – DVD players, Digital TV, safe, minibar, WIFI internet access and ‘phones with messaging facilities.
Stoke by Nayland is a picturesque village built on a hill above the Stour and Box river valleys on the Suffolk/Essex border. Its 120-ft tower is a local landmark and features in the works of 18th century English landscape artist John Constable, who immortalised the surrounding countryside of Dedham Vale, now designated an 'area of outstanding natural beauty'.

03/02/2011 (2 night stay): We wanted a relaxing spot away from the hustle and bustle of London and The Crown fitted the bill perfectly. The room was well appointed, comfy and quiet. The staff made us feel very welcome and the food was great.

15/07/2011 (3 night stay): We had a long weekend at the Crown last week and it was perfect. Absolutely every member of staff we had any dealings with were friendly, professional and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble - whilst at the same time being informal.

14/08/2009 (2 night stay): The Crown is now one of my favourite places to stay. The standard of accommodation was extremely high and the food in the restaurant was fantastic and very good value. There is an exceptional wine list, with lots of available by the glass and the bar staff are very knowledgeable. I will definitely be coming back.

23/10/2009 (2 night stay): A most delightful place to stay - the room was nicely furnished, the hotel staff friendly and helpful and the food quite delicious. There were some nice, thoughful touches - a free bottle of mineral water in the room, a proper teapot and nice cups and our used cups were even washed and returned to their place while we had dinner!
