It is a couple of minutes walk from the Preston to Colne local service, and there is a bus stop literally outside the front door. The hotel has been the premier place to stay in Colne since the railway brought tourists to Colne in the days of Queen Victoria. Our booking was made last year -2023, we heard that it had changed hands since we were last there in 2023. During the times we had been going the daily bed and breakfast rate remained remarkably little changed. We were welcomed by Vicky and we were told that the daily rate had changed. Two of our group could be accommodated in en suite rooms. Head Chef Steve was excellent, his full English breakfasts set you up for the day. He is a man with local knowledge which came in useful when our departure trains to Preston were cancelled. We understand that the Crown has been taken over by a brewery chain. The location is exceptional and the stone building with limited parking at the side only needs someone of vision to appreciate the hotel’s potential and restore the hotel to the community hub it has been in the recent past. Roast dinners are available as well as pub fare. We do hope to be able to return to The Crown in the not too distant future. As they do say on the website it is useful to ring ahead to determine what it the art of the possible.

Very clean basic rooms, adequate breakfast at nothing really to complain about. It is what it is. Do yourself a favor and have a cheap night away, it's cold dark and miserable so a quick visit to somewhere like this will put a smile back on your face. Many thanks to everyone, keep up the good work

We order the roast and it was beef or pork or you could have both meats! Portion size was good as was presentation. We were blown away by how good it was, meat cooked to perfection and couldn't fault any of it. The food is very much improved from when we last dined here as its now under new management. This place will become a regular go to place and we offer our support to the staff and their hard work getting the place back on its feet! See you soon. From Angie and Steve

The Sunday Lunch was the best I have had, absolutely top drawer ourselves and another table couldn’t finish the whole dish. The beef was cooked to perfection and sliced nice and thick. We will be making this a regular and have no hesitation recommending it. Like anything else, support local businesses 150 out of 100
