With more than 400 years of history behind its doors, The Crown Inn has plenty of stories to tell. This Grade II-listed coaching inn has stood on Old Amersham’s medieval High Street since 1620, placing you among independent shops and historic buildings with the Chilterns countryside waiting just beyond the town. London Marylebone is only around 45 minutes away by train, making it an appealing country escape without the lengthy journey. There are 45 bedrooms spread between the original inn, courtyard and converted Bailey building, ranging from cosy rooms beneath character beams to spacious suites with separate sitting areas. Downstairs, seasonal British cooking, leisurely Sunday roasts and a relaxed bar make staying in for the evening an easy decision. Film fans may recognise the inn as a location from Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Bedrooms
There is plenty of individuality among The Crown’s 45 en-suite bedrooms, with accommodation spread across the historic Main Inn, peaceful courtyard and converted Bailey building. Interiors complement the building rather than compete with it, bringing together natural materials, considered lighting, and contemporary comforts while allowing original beams and the quirks of the old coaching inn to remain part of the experience. Dogs are welcome on request, with prior acknowledgement in selected rooms as are extra beds for children – additional charges apply.
Food & Drink
Food at The Crown is firmly rooted in the seasons, bringing together familiar British flavours with a more contemporary touch. The menu changes to make the most of what is in season, balancing comforting pub favourites with lighter and more refined dishes. Sundays are particularly good for settling in, with traditional roasts served. The bar provides a relaxed spot for a drink before dinner or somewhere to linger afterwards, accompanied by a thoughtfully chosen wine list.
