I visited with 2 of my daughters to celebrate a family birthday and was very impressed. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table which was comfortable and spacious. The waitress carefully explained the specials and we had plenty of time to read the menu. We deliberately tried to select different meals so that we could try a selection of dishes.
The 'Dexter Beef' starter was delicious and beautifully presented, as was the gravalax. The Suckling pig main course was amazing - so many different parts of the pig to taste and all cooked so well. The wild boar was also a winner and the wild sea bass with samphire did not disappoint. By this stage we were all pretty full but managed to share an assiete of miniature desserts - wow! We loved them all!
The service was really good. I just wished I lived a bit closer to be a regular visitor!

Went there for my wife's birthday in November 2011. Overall it was very nice, we eat in the old room which was well furnished and extremely comfortable. The service and food were excellent.
On the downsides, the waiter/ess were not that friendly and appeared a little stuffy. It is at the top of the price scale for Sunday Lunch.

The Cross House Lodge is an amazing venue, you relax the moment you step through the door.
Complimentary afternoon tea, very srumptious.
Our room was lovely and Molton Brown goodies was a nice surprise.
Food at The Star Inn was fantastic, all of the staff both in the Lodge and the Pub are very friendly and made us feel very welcome.
We would heartily recommend the accomodation and the restaurant to anyone.
In fact we have already booked our next visit!

Very poor standard of accommodation for the price, we stayed at Cross House Lodges room 8 as I don't want to ramble on I will make a list. Level of lighting in room and bathroom so poor it was difficult to apply make-up or style hair,handles fell of wardrobe, bathroom door stuck and only opened half way bathroom toiletries not replenished and poor choice,dusty cotton wool balls and Tampax. No foam bath for the bath, poor quality hospitality tray (contained in unhygienic basket) and a small amount of milk literally a table spoon in a smelly flask we had to ask for milk on both days as this was not replenished this bed very uncomfortable to get in and out of due to large wooden surround, overall room and bathroom were not as clean as they should have been. 1st nights evening meal was lovely we were seated in the new part of the restaurants near the kitchen and the service was also excellent however on the second night we were seated in the old part and left some of our meal and did not stay for dessert as there was awful smell of chimney smoke which completely put us off our food.Breakfast is a communal affair, again not consistent we ordered a Yorkshire breakfast both mornings 1st morning 2 rashers of bacon 2nd morning 1 rasher! we found the bread to be on the stale side and the jams and butters were in open pots which attracted flies! add to that the resident dog begging at the table. Even though the food was nice we would not make a return visit
