I have been staying at the Rose & Crown, on and off for over 20 years and seen change as you would expect in that time. My return this week, was nothing more than terrible, disappointing and never to be repeated under the current owners (apparently Egyptians running it into the ground having made their money from a 'Government Agreement' to house certain people, which ended recently). The Manager is trying his best, whom I met several years ago and is wasted at this hotel. There is no food, drink, just the rooms which still smell of bleach, clearly from a recent deep clean. Bulbs missing from lamps and lights, stains on furniture and a general feeling of an unloved and tired establishment. The old bar in The Trumpet Hall, where I have enjoyed many an evening with a cold one, is piled high with old furniture, so sad to see it this way. A sorry state for such an iconic building........until it changes, I will not return, ever.
