About The Cross Keys Inn
The Cross Keys Inn is a traditional pub-style hotel at Lydford-on-Fosse, near Somerton, with only six rooms, giving it the feel of a small, characterful inn rather than a large hotel. The building keeps a proper pub atmosphere at its centre, with a bar and restaurant serving as the hub of the place alongside a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, family rooms for those travelling with children, and drinks available in-room, while a lift makes access straightforward. Breakfast is served on-site, kids' meals are catered for, and free WiFi is available throughout. Guests also have use of an indoor swimming pool and a spa and sauna, along with concierge and business services and free on-site parking, making it as suited to a working stop as a leisure break. The Cross Keys also operates as a wedding venue.
Set in the Somerset countryside, it's within reach of golf, fishing, cycling and walking country, and there are further pubs, bars and restaurants nearby for those who fancy exploring beyond the inn itself. With just six rooms, it's a small-scale base rather than a sprawling resort, best suited to those who want a pub at the centre of their stay.
