Cross Keys Inn

Room was great for us staying - the main bed was really comfortable - the pull out sofa bed was less comfortable but kind of expected due to it being a pull out bed. We felt very comfortable staying with our dog. It was situated at the back of the pub so we weren't disturbed by noise from the pub. Enclosed area outside the door so felt that it was a safe space for dogs/children not to be straight out into the rear car park area. Food at the pub was delicious. Good variety and very fresh. During our stay we tried pies, fish & chips & fresh pizza and all very tasty. Staff were really helpful and pub seems very popular with locals too.

We only had cereals & toast for breakfast. There were plenty of those provided. The car parking facilities were excellent and the chalet was quiet throughout. Very relaxing environment with more sheep than people in the vicinity. Heating was very effective and easy to control once I'd found the switch hidden behind the wardrobe.

Spacious, clean, great food and really nice staff. A new guy who had just started that day helped us at breakfast time this morning and was amazing. He chatted with our wee boys and even put breakfasts back under hot lamp when we had to take my son to the toilet AND reunited me with my phone and my other son’s socks (we were having one of “those” mornings). Total Legend! Anyway, a great stay in this family friendly inn. I’m sure we’ll be back soon.

This place is quite a surprise. From the very dark outside (early December break) we were surprised by the warmth of the inside and the staff who greeted us. We were directed to park outside our chalet which, sadly, was very dark and slippery. The room was everything we needed but we could have done with a light switch to turn off the outside light that was quite disturbing for us, as we're used to a totally dark bedroom. Our evening meal was delicious; the spiced parsnip and apple soup was superb! Breakfast was a little less enjoyable. I felt awkward due to the staff member's attitude to the choices. Cereals, full English or a vegetarian breakfast. I don't eat the 'non-English breakfast' option of beans or hash browns, but didn't dare ask for them to be omitted! She was scary.... All in all though, we would stay there again but next time I'll be brave - honestly!!

The property was easy to find and a lovely little spot with very friendly staff and very friendly locals with an easy to use car park. conveniently located off the M6. Also, had an amazing meal for dinner and for breakfast
