Inside was still traditionally maintained but looked a little tired. The food in the italian restaurant next door was really tasty and surprisingly reasonably priced. The main bar area was quiet for a monday night, but there was a pianist in the corner and the atmosphere was really cosy, not to mention a good range of real ales that the barman informed me were all local. The room we stayed in was clean and tidy and the staff were all excellent, couldn't have asked for more.

What a stunning location! Set in the Welsh countryside, this hotel is housed in a building that was…read moreoriginally built in the 1500s! The rooms are nice and comfortable, particularly the bed.

There's everything from Mussels to sizzling skillets, pies and grills. Food here is all homemade and great value. Huge portions too. I had a mixed grill on my last visit which included steak, gammon, pork chop, lamb chop, sausage, black pudding, eggs, onion rings, Tomato, mushrooms, peas and their amazing homecut chips. £9.45. Bargain! My Other half had a burger (again) where he could choose 3 toppings from a list. Also served with chips and was around £6.50. Drinks are very reasonable and this place is a must if you're nearby. It's gaining a brilliant reputation and you'll need to book at the weekend.

Visited April 2015: "Restaurant at the Best Western Cross Lanes Hotel"…read more It was a picture perfect Victorian dining hall. There were curtains drawn in the middle of the room, breaking up the large open area. The tables were arranged for comfort and allowing private conversations not to be overheard. My friend and I had leek soup, deep fried brie, and shared the duck main. The duck main came with green string beams and creamed potatoes. Both hit the spot for such a cold April evening, and the duck was cooked beautifully. I finished off my meal with a citrus tart, that was creamy and just the right amount of tartness to it.

I went there for a christmas party and was not at all impressed with the food. It was mass produced and tasted like it had all been microwaved. This is not what you expect when you go somewhere with a reputation like this place has. However, my sister once came to a wedding her and she absolutely loved the food, so I guess it just depends on the day.

The food could be better and the menu does not change very often.
