Just had a great night in The Cross Keys. Atmosphere was buzzy and perfect for a Friday night. Food great quality, fresh and original but had the classics as well. Short but well chosen wine list. Fantastic local to have on your doorstep.

We booked the double room at the Cross keys for my partner's birthday. It was compact but clean. There was no wardrobe to hang up our clothes so we used the hooks on the back of the door. We had our evening meal in the bar area and the menu looked appetising and we made our choice of a crab... More

Booked a Valentine's day dinner and asked for a table next to one of the log fires. We were duly seated by a roaring fire. The food was of a high quality and the atmosphere very homely. Despite the final bill being on the expensive side I would dine here again

Just had an overnight stay at the Cross Keys. We stayed in the larger twin with en suite bathroom which was fine for an overnight stay - cleanliness was up to standard and the beds comfortable - shower/bathroom was very nicely done out. Only drawback for a longer stay would be the lack of wardrobe but for an overnight stay... More

We just had lunch at the Cross Keys Kippen, I was a wee bit apprehensive entering the bar as it looked like a traditional old mans pub, how wrong could one be. We both ordered fish n chips which some would say very safe choice and how can you get this wrong, well I have had disasters in the past.... More

Dear alun6, Thanks for your honest feedback. We are very happy that you felt The Cross Keys was good enough to warrant a positive review and can only apologise for the oversight of our waitress on that day. Thankfully, as you pointed out, it did not spoil your enjoyment of the fresh fish n' chips and tartar sauce. We are... More
