Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Crown & Cushion Hotel, situated in the heart of Chipping Norton, offers a convenient location for exploring the area. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring a four-poster bed, and find the free parking in the hotel courtyard particularly useful; the bus stop to Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon is also conveniently close. The Sunday Roast and the pub in the hotel are frequently mentioned as highlights, though some guests have observed that the decor can feel a bit dated. its proximity to attractions like Diddly Squat Farm is a definite plus.

The complimentary gin and tonics were a nice surprise upon arrival in my room. I found adequate free parking at the rear of the hotel. The location was fantastic for visiting the Cotswolds especially for Diddly Squat Farm, a very short drive away.
The first night i had a room overlooking the main street. The traffic noise made it impossible to sleep.
