Lovely well-equipped cottage and a comfortable home-from-home. This was our second time visiting and we just love it. Great communication from the start and such an easy process for entry to the cottage and check out. There is a lovely inn on site with great choice, delicious food (huge portions), and lovely staff. We brought our dogs on this trip who were provided with cushions, towels, bowls and treats upon arrival, which was greatly appreciated. Just love the cottage with its private garden space complete with picnic table and parasol. We'll definitely be back! Thanks for having us again :)

Really enjoyed our stay. Accommodation, clean, warm, dog friendly, everything we needed. Next to the pub with great atmosphere, good food and friendly staff. In drivable distance to nearby walks, beautiful villages, history, and sea sides. Enjoyed our walks/climbs to Beacon Fell, Tolkien walk, Forest of Bowland, Nicky Noos and Morecambe Bay. Would definitely return again and stay at Cross Keys Inn Cottages in the future. (soon)
