Cross Keys Inn

2nd stay in the cross keys and again just really loved it. Went for pizza again. Huge pizzas, but thin and crispy 👌 3 pigs was epic. They do have an a la carte menu, my wife had the steak frites. Really nice bit of meat and cooked perfectly. We stay in one of the chalet rooms down the back and it was everything we needed and a greats nights sleep. The place is just bursting with character and charm with it dating back to the 16th century I believe. After dinner we enjoyed a few cocktails up at the bar. 2 for £10! All the classics. It was nice chatting with the guys behind the bar and the locals. Another top visit. See you soon guys and thank you!

Poped in on a very wet day needing to dry out had a lovely welcome with a nice fire and staff. Only soft drink ordered. My daughter, dog and my self stayed for a couple of hours enjoy the games on offer and had a lovely dinner. Stake and ale pie was delicious and her pizza was enjoyed. It was not to busy due to the weather but a number of families came in for dinner. Would pop in again if in the area.

We stayed here to break up the long journey to the Highlands and we're really pleased with our stay. The room was clean comfortable and smelled lovely and both the breakfast and dinner at the pub were fabulous. All the staff we encountered were friendly and professional and check in and out was easy. Would stay again!

I’ve no idea where the other reviewers with positive comments stayed but imo it wasn’t at the Crosskeys. For £80 plus I expected a little more than a scruffy dated room. A really small dated shower/toilet room (hot water tap not working, main light not working, toilet holder broken , chipped paint work everywhere etc etc), tea stained cups and an old very small TV with a poor reception on the wall. Basically I can find nothing positive to say about the room apart from the sheets were clean. As for the soundproofing, it’s non existent so ended up listening to the bar music and bar conversations until 0130hrs - ridiculous!!!! Wifi in the room was poor for us. On walking down to breakfast at 0915 hrs we were told that the chef had gone home! no one mentioned this when we checked in and nothing in the room to inform us - unbelievable ! Suffice to say this place is one I will avoid in future.

Dinner was well above pub grub standard. The full turkey dinner can be hit and miss, but not at the Cross Keys. Definitely more bistro restaurant. Lovely size portion with homemade pigs in blankets and all the veggies and trimmings. Brussel sprouts were cooked to perfection. Very impressed

Very helpful staff lovely homemade food And clean comfortable room Plenty of room for everyone and centrally located for what we needed , Appleby horse fair being just 12 miles away We will stay again

We went in on Saturday lunchtime for a bar meal but despite having a decent menu they don't cater for coeliacs at all so unfortunately just had to settle for drinks only. Barman was friendly enough but that was it, we drunk up and left. Nice enough looking pub.

Perfect stop off.Outside rooms Excellent, Indoor rooms OK. Food and Drink Excellent recommend the pies.Staff and customers welcoming.Dog friendly establishment. No noise from the motorway which can be seen in the distance. Stopped twice each end of Scottish Holiday

Excellent from start to finish. We stayed at the Cross keys inn. The room was comfortable, spacious and clean. The real wow factor was our dining experience, the waiter and Italian guy was excellent and nothing was too much trouble and the food was spectacular! We had the steak frites and the smoked cod. Both dishes were cooked and seasoned to perfection and presented beautifully more reminiscent of a high quality restaurant rather than a pub meal. The wine list was also fantastic I opted for the Shiraz and my partner the vino verde which were perfect accompaniments for our meal. Desert and some live music later really topped off our evening we can’t wait to return!!
