We stayed in one night - its an easy distance from Bath University where we were visiting our daughter. The room is one of two ensuite rooms in a building next to the pub - small but tastefully decorated and with everything we needed. We didn't eat in the pub - but will make a point of going back sometime.... More

We stayed one night here last week almost at the end of a week walking the Cotswolds way. The room was small but well equipped although they couldn't get the central heating going- there was a fan heater.We feared the road noise but it was minimal and only in the morning. But the joy is in the pub itself. A... More

The Old Crown is located on the Bitton to Bath road in the small village of Kelston. I have eaten and drunk here on numerous occasions but have never stayed as it is very close to where I live. The pub from the outside looks attractive due to its rural setting, but this particular road is a back roads route... More

It is a good location, with close proximity to central Bath. The pub is nice, but the room was directly on the road, so it was very loud due to traffic. The room seems to have been recently renovated and was clean, but very small. The service was decent, and the full English breakfast in the morning was great.

Have marked the Old Crown at Kelston a 3(average) which is a bit unfair, its a good place to stay, but tripadvisor say that 4 out of 5 is very good and the Old Crown is good but not quite very good.Would give it 3.5 if i could. The pub has a good menu and our meals were good, decent... More

First impressions of the pub itself would lead you to think the accommodation attached to it would be as nice but alas, what a let down. The room was very pokey with no room to swing a cat in and smelt like drains presumably because the vent in the bathroom was jammed shut so a musty, damp smell was constantly... More

The pub was in a really good location with the bus stop for Bath right outside the door. The road was a bit noisy but didn't really bother us. The staff were very friendly and helpful with local information. Service was quick in the pub and the food was delicious and good value. Would definitely stay again and recommend to... More

I recently stayed in The Old Crown with five other people and we booked three of the four rooms available. The rooms themselves were clean and had everything you needed: towels, tea and coffee, milk, iron. They had a good amount of storage space but in terms of how much room you get in the bedroom depends on which room... More

We were in Bath on Saturday and decided to make a weekend of it. The hotels in Bath were either booked or expensive so we booked into The Old Crown in Kelston. It's close enough to Bath to make a good base if you don't mind being out of the city overnight. The rooms are part of an old coaching... More
