The Little Crown Inn & Restaurant
Review
If you’re looking for a romantic countryside escape that ticks every box, then the Little Crown Inn in Pontypool should be high on your list. Under wonderful new ownership since I last endorsed it, this charming country pub has been lovingly brought into the 21st century without losing an ounce of its original character. The rooms are cosy, stylish, and perfect for couples seeking a peaceful retreat. Whether you're enjoying a lazy lie-in or preparing for a day exploring the valleys, comfort is guaranteed. Downstairs, the restaurant delivers food that is nothing short of spectacular, ideal for an intimate dinner with your other half. From traditional favourites to inventive modern dishes, the menu is packed with flavour and beautifully presented. With so many great attractions nearby and Cardiff just a short drive away, the Little Crown Inn is a romantic base where love, laughter, and great food come together effortlessly.
