This was a stop over on our way back down from Scotland. It was in a great location for us, just popping off the motorway. We were met with a very warm welcome and were able to check in straight away. We had our evening meal at the Chequers, which totally exceeded our expectation. Breakfast was of the same very high standard and cooked to order. Also, very dog-friendly.

Could maybe have done with a little more lighting outside the chalet at night-time, and the bathroom decor was a little tired but this didn't distract from our stay and would definitely stay again if we're in the area.

Room was great for us staying - the main bed was really comfortable - the pull out sofa bed was less comfortable but kind of expected due to it being a pull out bed. We felt very comfortable staying with our dog. It was situated at the back of the pub so we weren't disturbed by noise from the pub. Enclosed area outside the door so felt that it was a safe space for dogs/children not to be straight out into the rear car park area. Food at the pub was delicious. Good variety and very fresh. During our stay we tried pies, fish & chips & fresh pizza and all very tasty. Staff were really helpful and pub seems very popular with locals too.

Plug socket to the right of the main bed seemed faulty (crackling noise when you switched it on/off) so we chose not to use it. Great to have the ensuite but the shower was a bit snug

Good bike storage Great choices for breakfast. Comfortable room.

We only had cereals & toast for breakfast. There were plenty of those provided. The car parking facilities were excellent and the chalet was quiet throughout. Very relaxing environment with more sheep than people in the vicinity. Heating was very effective and easy to control once I'd found the switch hidden behind the wardrobe.

My partner's steak served to her on our first evening in the bar was as tough as owld boots- but that's sirloin for you! The tap in the sink was not secured to its base which meant that turning it off or on was a two handed job-could be a problem for someone genuinely disabled. I wasn't able to point this out to a staff member when I checked out as there was nobody at reception.

The location of the Cross Keys Inn was ideal for us being just a short way off the M6 at the Tebay junction for an overnight break on our journey to Scotland. The pub is delightful with only a few rooms but extremely warm and welcoming, clean and friendly, helpful staff. Good food with great choices for breakfast. Excellent value for money. The area around the Cross Keys is beautiful and well worth exploring being between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.

Nothing - it was a perfect overnight stay.

It was lovely to get out of the snowy conditions outside and be greeted by a blazing log fire in a beautiful old inn. Bar was lovely and cosy and the dinner mouthwateringly good. Nice to see duck legs on the menu. Bedroom was nicely furnished, had a window seat and lovely woollen throws and matching curtains. Breakfast good value too. The bathroom was quite small being built in to the bedroom, but then who had bathrooms 400 years ago?!

The location was perfect for what we wanted, celebrating our anniversary we wanted cosy and that's exactly what cross keys is. The staff were unbelievably friendly and so helpful. We were incredibly looked after. The pub is beautiful! And the food..... Wow, it was honestly the best food I've had in a long time. We stayed in a chalet and they are so cute. Beautifully decorated and super clean. We shared wine by the fire and ate delicious food!

Nothing at all.

Spacious, clean, great food and really nice staff. A new guy who had just started that day helped us at breakfast time this morning and was amazing. He chatted with our wee boys and even put breakfasts back under hot lamp when we had to take my son to the toilet AND reunited me with my phone and my other son’s socks (we were having one of “those” mornings). Total Legend! Anyway, a great stay in this family friendly inn. I’m sure we’ll be back soon.

Wi-Fi wasn’t really available in chalet rooms (I don’t think) but no big deal.

This place is quite a surprise. From the very dark outside (early December break) we were surprised by the warmth of the inside and the staff who greeted us. We were directed to park outside our chalet which, sadly, was very dark and slippery. The room was everything we needed but we could have done with a light switch to turn off the outside light that was quite disturbing for us, as we're used to a totally dark bedroom. Our evening meal was delicious; the spiced parsnip and apple soup was superb! Breakfast was a little less enjoyable. I felt awkward due to the staff member's attitude to the choices. Cereals, full English or a vegetarian breakfast. I don't eat the 'non-English breakfast' option of beans or hash browns, but didn't dare ask for them to be omitted! She was scary.... All in all though, we would stay there again but next time I'll be brave - honestly!!

Scary lady! Dark slippery pathway to our room. The path was separated paving-slabs but I couldn't tell until I turned my foot on one, then another.... Some low wall-lighting would help with this.

Tebay ia a lovely little village and the pub was excellent. The chalets are very comfortable with a view of the hills. We enjoyed our food, peri peri chicken, steak, haddock and roast dinner. The bar was friendly and we enjoyed watching the football in there. There is a space to park right by the chalet so it's very easy to unload. My husband also loved "Dave's Shed"!

There was a plumbing problem with our toilet which was very noisy during the night. This was rectified the next day.
