About Cross Keys Hotel Knutsford
On King St in Knutsford, Cross Keys Hotel Knutsford offers rooms set within the converted coaching house and stables of an 18th-century inn, with the accommodation housed in a separate block from the pub itself. Rooms come with tea and coffee facilities, and breakfast, either a full English or continental option, is included in the room price. Downstairs, the pub serves draught beers alongside food such as a sharing platter and sweet potato fries, with live music played on site. Booking works on a walk-in basis. A park with a lake sits a short walk away, along with local restaurants and shops, though the carpark can be tricky to find.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return to the full English breakfast, praised repeatedly alongside the friendly, helpful staff, with one guest also flagging the sharing platter and sweet potato fries as filling the table for four. Close behind is the setting itself: a quaint, charming converted coaching house with clean, well equipped rooms, some featuring a proper coffee machine, and a bar known for its fresh beer and knowledgeable draught selection, with live music noted by one visitor. Several call it good value, with one reviewer citing £67 for room and breakfast together, and staff are credited with pointing guests toward nearby restaurants. A recurring gripe is that rooms can run cold despite central heating and a small heater, and one guest found the decor tired. One reviewer, however, describes arriving to a room left uncleaned from the previous guest, no working wifi or phone signal, a missing breakfast despite having paid for it, and being told to seek a refund through the booking site. Another recalls a barman offering towels to rain soaked runners after a park run.

“Booked an room for one night. Shocking and unable to stay. The room was so dirty and had not been cleaned from the previous guests. I paid for breakfast but was told there was no breakfast and I would need to contact booking.com for a refund. There was no wifi in the room and no phone coverage. A big problem when trying to work. Security camera removed from room entrance and fire extinguisher left outside the front door. Avoid this run down dirty shambles at all cost.”
