We went for food for my 40th birthday last night, 8 of us. The food was 10/10, all homemade. Service was 11/10, warm welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. Definitely be back and definitely be recommending. Made my birthday extra special :-)

Spent New Years Eve here. Disco & Karoke in the bar until the early hours . Stayed the night, lovely room & a cracking breakfast. Thank you very much Nicola & Nadine. xx
The host were amazing, really welcoming and nothing was too much for them. The rooms are a good size and comfortable, the breakfast was great quality and a good sized portion. Will definitely go back and recommend to anyone going to that area.
Had a lovely stay at the Cross Hands Hotel for a family function. Nadine and Nichola, who have recently taken over running the hotel were exceptionally accommodating. The breakfast was amazing! Rooms clean and comfy. Highly recommend a stay here.
The owners were so kind and welcoming, told us they have recently taken over and was a great job between the two of them they are doing! Great conversation with them, very clean and comfortable rooms and great breakfast selection, would definitely be back!
