The Cross Keys, Selattyn.

This is what our customers say:-
"This pub is a gem. Everything about the place in fantastic. The atmosphere, the welcome, the timelessness, the beer, the log fire, the characters, the realistic prices, the superb attitude of the locals who go out of their way to greet and include you. On the last two visits we have been given Christmas cake, cheese, and champagne by locals who did not even know us. I love the courtesy and manner of the established landlord and landlady who are extremely friendly to locals and visitors alike. If you appreciate a proper pub, then make the journey. You will not be disappointed and you will not want to leave." Village pubs usually ceased to be like this years ago, but not this one, in this tiny village close to the Welsh border. A small wood panelled corridor leads you in, with wooden doors on latches the only clue that anything else remains- snug, games room and bar room. These are completely independent of one another and it's easy to imagine the others aren't there- a true multi-roomed pub. The bar room is tiny and full of hand clips, on my visit Stonehouse Station Bitter and Cambrian Gold were avaiable. Friendly locals and barman as always in these sorts of pub- if only they were all like this. The pub can get packed for it's live music nights as we found out. Rightly on CAMRA's NI of pub interiors. Not the easiest to find up country lanes but do go for a taste of the past, you won't regret it." "Fabulous traditional pub, on CAMRA inventory of interiors worthy of preservation. Excellent Stonehouse beer plus changing guest. Music on Thursday and Friday evenings. Only pity is it's not open Monday or Tuesday, what are the locals playing at!"
