The Cross Keys

The staff were so kind and happy to make us comfortable. My daughter asked for boiled eggs, which weren’t on the menu, and they made it special by putting the eggs in cups for her. My daughter also bumped her head walking into the glass entry door and she was made to feel so important and looked after. My son loved the tiny window in his room and the age of the building, he wants to have the same room again! My father was visiting from America and loved everything. Would highly recommend!

Lovely old building with plenty of character , staff were very welcoming on arrival and its l in a great location for exploring the Town with plenty of parking only a short walk away. Evening meal in the restaurant was good and they had a nice menu. Breakfast was excellent and great value for money again staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room in the barn conversion was great , the heating worked well and was big with a vaulted ceiling, interesting bathroom facilities which we liked but that's perhaps not for everyone so a screen is provided. Overall a great overnight stay and very happy.

We nearly booked the Holiday Inn and so glad we didn't, what was a overnight stay before an early meeting turned into a lovely break. The hotel dates back to 1579, it's beautifully maintained our room was up a spiral stair case beautifully designed free standing bath in the room lovely comfortable bedding with crisp luxurious bedding. The food in the restaurant was excellent a quick bite to eat turned into 3 courses and finished with Irish coffees. The young staff were so friendly and helpful, when I asked for the kitchen to change my order the dish arrived with the request sauted fresh spinach with just a hint of garlic not on the menu but happily supplied. Cannot rate the place highly enough. Fantastic breakfast cooked to order with all the items I asked for Again thank you.

Arrived for lunch which was excellent,after we explored the area a quaint little town with lots of interesting shops. Booked for an evening meal staff were polite professional and once again food delicious reasonably price. Our waitress was smiley polite and helpful. Down for breakfast in the morning,everthing you could want a beautiful well cooked breakfast and the lady that welcomed us on our arrival and served breakfast was delightful and helpful. We all had a very enjoyable time and will be back

Lovely hotel & pub, full of character! We stayed on Friday night and had a really nice time. The team were very friendly and also very responsive prior to arrival which was great. The room was great, all very clean and the bedding & towels were really great quality. One thing to note, if you’re tall then watch your head, my husband walked into the lampshade in our room a few times, and some of the doorways are a little low. We also chose to eat in the restaurant for dinner, and the food was absolutely incredible! We started with the Frickles and Sausage Bites, the frickles were delicious, not too much batter and big chunks of pickle. For main we had the steak, which was cooked perfectly, and the pie, which I would 100% recommend. The dauphinois potatoes were amazing, and the things we were most looking forward to from dinner, and they did not disappoint. The breakfast was great in the morning, and the fact it was included in the room rate was brilliant! I would definitely recommend, it’s also great as a little pit stop if you’re on a big drive down the A1, which is the reason we picked Cross Keys, as it was a nice looking and reasonably priced hotel that had some character, and wasn’t just a run of the mill chain hotel.
