The location was excellent for a stopover on the way from Yorkshire to Skye. Staff and owner were friendly and efficient. It is obviously a popular meeting place for the village who all welcomed us, and our dogs. The cleanliness and neatness of the whole pub was excellent.

Because of the age of the building, 1703, and its position, on the Main Street, there is no private car park. However, the whole village has street or pavement parking and we were fortunate enough to park directly outside the front door. There were also several other spaces so parking is not a problem here.

The village location and had close to where I was working. Could have went for a standard hotel room with no character, but want to support independent retailers.

This is what Scottish Hotels are all about!! Church Bells and outdoor drinks. Local hotel with local staff who were all very professional and mannerly. Shown to my room and informed about breakfast ordering. Easy to fill out and in the morning I had exactly everything I had ordered. The breakfast was delicious and I could tell that all the ingredients were locally sourced. I can’t single out any ingredients but: Sausage: perfect Black pudding: immerse Tattie Scone: unbelievable Bacon: tremendous! I will be back!! I did have other things

Very authentic, in a lovely little village. The rooms were clean, fresh and airy and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Fabulous meal in the evening, highly recommend the home made Cullen Skink Soup, it was delicious!!! With a proper Full Scottish Breakfast in the morning, even got tips on how to prepare the perfect poached egg.. which it was! Proprietor was very present throughout the evening and the morning which was really nice to see, and Ian behind the bar was helpful and pleasant throughout! 😊

There were no negatives to the property at all that we could see, we did say a fan would have been good in the room because it was very hot, but we didn’t ask for one.. so there is the possibility that they had them available for use, so the onus was on us for not asking.

Loved the location The room was simple perfectly clean exactly right for overnight

Parking could be a problem there is limited space in front of Crosskeys I travelled with my dog and I think the Chef? Who dealt with breakfast either objected to my dog, who was perfectly behaved throughout. Or he just felt he could be somewhat unfriendly towards me, he was notably more friendly towards another couple that came in to breakfast . … minus dog. A minor miff but it’s a thing that you remember.

We had a very comfortable and happy stay. Our room was very clean and warm. Water was wonderful hot . There was a nice hostess tray with a real teapot. Breakfast was so good. Really nicely cooked with very good quality produce Our dinner was lovely the night before All the staff were exceptionally friendly We will stay again for sure thank you

Nothing not to like

I mixed the dates up and they were very accommodating. Ian gave us a lovely welcome , he offered to help with bags and told us everything we needed to know without having to ask. The room was spotless with good quality fittings. It also had beautiful views from both windows. Very comfortable. The pub was cosy and the food second to none. We had a walk around the village, it too was lovely. A proper Scottish breakfast, black pudding , haggis and fruit pudding included, a rarity these days.

Couldn't fault the cross keys

Quaint historic inn with modern bedroom amenities. Ground floor pub maintains the old feel. Many locals eating there. Food was exceptional quality and menu offers more than just basic pub fare. Bedrooms and ensuite were comfortable and provided plenty of space. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fresh, delicious, and offered many traditional scottish choices. Located in a small quiet village with a short, easy drive to Stirling city center. Definitely would use again.

Room 3 has a double bed which is spacious, immaculate with a fabulous showeroom. The staff are friendly and accomadating. The breakfast was amazing, this hotel is in a lovely quiet village setting. The breakfast room is fabulous set in a separate part of this historic building.

Nothing.

Pub with newly refurbished ensuite rooms that are not over the busy bar. So they are quiet and peaceful. We ordered breakfast the previous evening and it was well cooked and plenty enough. The host and the staff, were friendly, welcoming and helpful as wree some of the locals we chatted to in the bar.

Nothing the hotel could do about the midges when we went outside for beer.

The breakfast was excellent. And Kippen was easy to reach and suitable to further visits in the area. My only problem was that I was cold in my room overnight. However, I think I will be back in the future.

The heating in the room. My friends were fine but I had not been told how to adjust the heating, or perhaps I was not so technically inclined.
