“Cross Hands Hotel strikes me as a place where the welcome is genuinely warm, especially from the mother-daughter team running it. The rooms have character, with comfortable beds and practical amenities, and the freshly cooked breakfast, complete with local Glamorgan sausages, adds a nice touch. It feels like a proper, comfortable inn.”
