Historic 15th-century coaching inn in Chipping Norton
History & Character
The Crown & Cushion Hotel is a former 15th-century coaching inn. It was once owned by Keith Moon, the drummer of The Who, who entertained celebrity friends such as Roger Daltrey. Comedy writer Ronnie Barker was a regular guest, and some of the hotel's furnishings came from his shop.
Rooms & Accommodations
The hotel offers 40 en-suite bedrooms with a mix of antique pine, dark oak furnishings, and wallpaper. Some rooms have contemporary furnishings, and those at the top front offer views of the church and the Cotswolds. Ground-floor rooms are available upon request, as the hotel has no lift.
Dining & Bar
The bistro restaurant serves contemporary British cuisine. Bar meals are offered Thursday to Saturday, and Full English Breakfasts are available Saturday and Sunday mornings. Three private dining rooms accommodate small gatherings, and continental breakfast is available Tuesday to Friday with pre-booking.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is in the centre of Chipping Norton, the Gateway to the Cotswolds. Within a minute's walk are the Theatre in Chipping Norton and a boutique cinema. Nearby attractions include Blenheim Palace, Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Stow-on-the-Wold.
