The Cross Keys

Lovely room and ensuite - very clean comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed overnight and our room was very nice and clean although the mattress was extremely hard and uncomfortable We had a meal which was very nice and service was good The bar prices are expensive The breakfast was good Overall we enjoyed our stay

20 unanswered phone calls and 3 unanswered emails before my stay to sort out appropriate rooms. Unbelievably noisy superior room next to high street traffic. Moved to another noisy ( but not so noisy) and hot room. Had to request refund myself as it was not automatically forthcoming. A further 6 unanswered phone calls to do so and several emails. 10 days later sorted out by Wendy. Inadequate management

The location is excellent but remember there is no parking at the hotel and hard to drop off your bags in the car as narrow street right outside. Keep this in mind if you have a lot of luggage or disabled. Hotel and food great. Getting a coffee or drink when breakfast was busy proved hard and we had to ask 3 times and took longer than it took to eat breakfast. Over all a great location and so don’t be put off. Maybe have a filter coffee machine and then could top up yourself

Incredibly noisy Hopeless management

Having arrived at the hotel we checked in and were asked to pay the full amount for our stay. We were shown to our rooms and it was noticeable how cold it was throughout the hotel. We were told that the boiler had "just" broken down but there was a small convector heater in each room. We visited the restaurant area which again had no method of heating. The food was well presented although the waiting time was a little excessive. We were advised that the main entrance would be closed after 10pm and that entry could be gained via the rear fire escape. We returned to the hotel shortly prior to 10pm to discover the main entrance was locked. We located the rear wrought-iron fire escape although this was in total darkness and unlit. Fortunately we could use our mobile telephone torch light to locate the entrance key pad and gain entry. In our opinion this was/is extremely dangerous and a serious risk to the patrons. We shall not be returning to the Cross Keys Hotel again until the major maintenance problems have been resolved and rectified

In the restaurant- Cups of tea are terrible. I sent it back it was like dishwater. No apology for that. Food is good, but customer service really falls short. One of the waiter’s spilt hot water on my friend and just smiled with an ‘oops sorry’ type phrase. No napkins, had to ask. No one checked how our meal was. Really need to improve

Appalling service, over an hour wait for food, only two of us, so not a big party. A party of 4 came in after us but got served first. Avoid if you want a quick meal. Food relatively expensive, as were the drinks. If I could give a zero, I would. Definitely do not recommend.

Lovely spot in the centre of the old town. Great room with en suite with a shower, comfortable bed, and tea/coffee-making facilities. The restaurant provides various quality meals from Breakfast to Lunch to Dinner. The staff are most helpful. We will book again! It is reasonably priced.
