Lock in a great price for The Shave Cross Inn - rated 8.6 by recent guests.

to get started.

If you like a country pub deep in the countryside with very good food and a friendly staff then you will like the Shave Inn. The pub is 14th century but the accommodation is in a modern block. We were not sure before hand about the tapas which is a major part of the menu other than Sunday but really enjoyed the variety and 6 tapas between us was very filling. Glad we had them. Sunday lunch is good value. Also would recommend the breakfasts. They do accommodate varying preferences.. Very dog friendly and really nice staff and owners.

Peter, United Kingdom

Wonderful log fire, a small but well thought out menu using local, seasonal ingredients, beautifully cooked and good beer what more could you want? The staff are great and cant do enough for you which all makes for a lovely couple of days away. The rooms are clean with a good bed and pillows although if I was to be picky I would work to make them a little brighter but this is purely down to taste of the decor.

Re otw location and a ancient pub was just what we were looking for

John, United Kingdom

Very comfortable beds with good quality bed linen and lovely white fluffy towels in bathroom. Spacious rooms. Outstanding Thai food in pub on ‘curry club night’.

Simon, United Kingdom

The room was perfect, really quirky. The bed was soooo comfortable Its a really unusual little place. The bar and restaurant were great and the food was AMAZING and the owners and staff are really friendly and accommodating We would definitely go back. It was really relaxing as the place is in the middle of nowhere so felt like a total escape from life!

Perhaps more instruction with using the shower and the TV/entertainment system took a little while to master.

Hospitality a bit inconsistent probably due to insufficient staff (eg. chef taking orders, cooking and serving breakfast!) Bedrooms would benefit from larger mugs for drinks and more milk and glasses for water (refreshment supplies were otherwise good)
Very comfortable beds with good quality bed linen and lovely white fluffy towels in bathroom. Spacious rooms. Outstanding Thai food in pub on ‘curry club night’.

There was no shower, just a head over the bath. Not a necessity but just something that I personally would have preferred.

“Lots of potential, some aspects excellent, but ultimately disappointing!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
On arrival at around 6pm, the owner greeted us with 'We have been trying to ring you all day!' I had indeed missed 2 calls earlier in the day but rang at around 3.30, spoke to somebody and re-confirmed that we would be arriving at around 6pm. I told him this and there was no apology. I wasn't particularly offended but thought it was a poor start. My wife was very disappointed that our shower was an old-fashioned hand-held device coming off the bath taps - and a sloping roof meant that there was little room to stand. Finally, the breakfast was a rather laissez-faire affair. We were served toast and a cup of tea (with tea bag in water) about 20 minutes before the cooked breakfast arrived. When I asked for another cup to drink with the breakfast, it arrived 10 minutes after I had finished.
Our room was beautifully decorated, spacious and clean.
