Crosshands Hotel, Old Sodbury

A Warm Welcome to The Cross Hands Hotel

Nearer than you Think

Just minutes from the M4 junction 18, the Cross Hands Hotel is a charming old posting house dating from the 14th century and is popular nowadays with, among others, country lovers, horse racing fans, motor racers, golfers and young couples; and our own dear Queen sought shelter here during a blizzard in 1981.

Those who like a bit of spooky history might like to know that the cellars were once used to house convicted criminals, sentenced to death by 'Bloody' Judge Jeffreys.
