“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.”

fantastic stay! was pretty good!

helpful staffbest gammonquiet nightlimited window
The staff was super helpful. They answered all my questions about parking and dinner options lightning fast. i ordered gammon steak, and it was seriously the best i have ever tasted! even with a main road nearby, it was quiet, leading to an amazing night's sleep.
i wish the windows opened a bit more for fresh air! that's my only tiny gripe.
