    “Golden Cross is a warm, comfortable and well furnished accommodation.”

    Owners, Pam and Harry had provided everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere while being close to local towns for shopping and exploring. The bed was big and comfortable and the shower room more than adequate. All in all a delightful place to stay.
