What guests think

At The Cross Keys, reviews highlight a central Knutsford location, friendly staff, and generally comfortable, spacious rooms, with many enjoying tasty breakfasts and the lively pub, while recurring drawbacks include occasional noise, cleanliness or maintenance lapses, and tricky-to-find parking.

Guests often praise helpful touches like luggage storage and taxi booking, though a few report slow or early cut-off check-in and unresolved refund promises. Room quality ranges from modern, spacious setups and big beds to more dated or compact attic rooms that may not suit taller guests. Some diners found breakfast greasy, and the 8 am start may not suit early departures. Overall, expect a central pub-with-rooms stay that balances value and convenience with some variability in upkeep and noise.

Very noisy rooms. Banging noise in the pipes came on at 5am and then was off and on all morning, which was not good. Room was pretty dated, ok to crash in but nothing special. Don't think i would stay again Parking was difficult to find, google maps directs to the wrong place. So if you are going, it's on the last turning before you get back to the main road.

Good size room , very clean, top floor with stairs which I didn’t mind but wouldn’t be suitable for anyone with disabilities, check in very good asked if able to use stairs , very good , breakfast good but cheaper if booked with accommodation. Some noise from passing aircraft on top floor but not excessive. 10.00 pm closing pub which is a shame as I arrived late.’’

Last min booking for a business trip. Price was very competitive, so didn't expect much. Paid extra for breakfast, only to receive an email stating breakfast was served from 8am! (On a working weekday, this really should be from 6am.) Parking was full on arrival, no problem as plenty on the street till 8am. The Pub was lively as local football was on the TV. Was taken to the room and everything explained, which was great. The room itself was in the loft space and everything about it was just a little too small. Great if you are 5ft 8. but at 6ft 2, it dosent work. Single bed was too short, from my ankles, my legs stuck out. The duvet was just too small. It covers the bed (which was really nicely presented), however once in, it didn't cover the person fully. Woke up to find myself half uncovered on more than one occasion. The shower, which again was modern and looked lovely, only just fit me in. Try to wash your legs and the door is open! I'm not a fat lad, built definitely well built! For the bigger body, this room does not work. Did not hear any noise from the pub, which was great. However at around 10pm and again at 5.30am??? The bottle bin was emptied right below the room, which obviously woke me up. So to sum up, a lovely looking and well presented room, just don't book it if you are over 10 stone or 5ft 8 in height.

We were booked in for 3 nights. First room we were given was filthy and had numerous broken fittings such as shower and toilet flush. We were moved to another room that was marginally cleaner. We pointed out missing light bulbs and non working radiators but these were never fixed. They then forgot to clean that room. We were promised a refund but that has not been paid! Every time we complained the staff were very apolgetic...but after a catalogue of issues we just cant think of anything good to say. Very dissappointing.

Ive stayed at this hotel approx 15 times in the last 2 years and its usually first class with great staff. This time, I was staying for a function so needed to iron my shirt and get showered. My review and low rating on this occassion was because there was no iron in the room and the water in the shower was freezing cold. I did mention this as I was dashing out and was offered to swap rooms but i said it was pointless at that point. The staff are great as always and tge breakfast is superb but safly the hotel failed me when I needed it most.

Old building so quirks expected. Cross Keys single room nice, bathroom clean, heating good and adjustable. All staff very pleasant and helpful, Manager, Chef, Housekeeping, and others. Specially enjoyed bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast. Let me leave cabin case on premises after checkout until later in the day. Historic area so lots to see, and many shops ie Boots, Waterstones, Co-op and Curzon cinema, within walking distance although some steps and inclines rather steep.Railway station and Tatton Park within easy walking distance (at each end of the road). Tatton Perk and Real Fruit Creamery gelato shop very close by, and the lovely moor with ducks and swans on the water and seats to rest and take in the view. Lots to see, many places to eat, lots of old architecture if that is your thing.
