The Cross Keys

Great little overnight stay in my home town but visiting with my husband from Ireland for a funeral. Room was lovely, great coffee machine and modern en suite. Breakfast options looked amazing but we had to leave early to get to London so just enjoyed the cereal and croissants and coffee to go.☺️

Wonderful place to stay, full of character and olde world charm. Great value meal in the restaurant downstairs on a Thursday evening, accommodating dietary needs including gluten free. The breakfast was delicious and exceedingly generous. Saffron Walden is an attractive small town with pretty buildings, history and green space.

Very nice place, definitely had character

A really superb hotel that was fantastic value for money. We had a Superior Double room that was spacious and very comfortable. Excellent en-suite with very good toiletries and motion sensor lighting. Even the toilet roll was top quality, something that many chains get wrong. The breakfast was outstanding and all staff were very friendly. Only thing to note is that it's a very old building on a busy road, so there is some traffic noise, but we're not light sleepers, so not a problem for us.

Wonderful staff, excellent breakfast! Great location but no parking because it’s an old historic building. Room was spacious with a huge clawfoot bath and walk-in shower. Room was not warm enough for us (winter) but the fan heater helped. We enjoyed the stay
