If you’re planning to spend the festive season away from home in 2012, where better to enjoy traditional celebrations than in a traditional English inn?
Our hotels are located in the most beautiful parts of the country and there are over 50 fascinating and atmospheric properties to choose from. Treat yourself to the perfect English Christmas –with all the trimmings – courtesy of Old English Inns.
Then why not come back and sample another of our inns to see in the New Year?
Raise a glass to 2012 and then stay the night in the comfort of Old English Inns.
Just minutes from the M4, Junction 18, the Cross Hands Hotel is a charming old posting house dating from the 14th century and is popular nowadays with, among others, country lovers, horse racing fans, motor racers, golfers and young couples and our own dear Queen sought shelter here during a blizzard in 1981. Those who like a bit of spooky history might like to know that the cellars were once used to house convicted criminals, sentenced to death by ‘Bloody’ Judge Jeffrey’s.
The restaurant is renowned for its excellent cuisine and extensive wine list, it provides the ideal venue for candle lit dinners or Sunday Lunch.
The oak beamed Beaufort Bar, full of charm and character, is ideal for sampling one of the ranges of traditional ales and delicious bar food.
All 21 bedrooms offer full en-suite facilities, and ground floor rooms and Disabled room available.
The Cross Hands has 21 comfortable en suite, non-smoking bedrooms all equipped for the modern day travellers as well as the tourist.
All boast TV, Tea & Coffee Facilities, Iron & Board and Hair Dryers.
