Sitting in the middle of the beautiful and picturesque village of Skillington Square, resides the original public house called The Cross Swords Inn. Situated on the cross roads of Skillington square attracting the passer by from each direction through the village.
This impressive stone building was built in the early to mid 1800’s where the landlady would provide the ale and suppers, while the landlord would shoe horses and serve as the blacksmith around the rear of the establishment which now is the courtyard and car park.
This country inn has had its fair share of landlords in the past; Your current hosts Francis & Linda Wood, who have owned the Cross Swords Inn since 1991, are the latest in a long line of hospitable landlords, stretching back to Edward Herring in the 1800′s. With a fine selection of good food ranging from a’ la carte to country inn food. To complement the food, an unforgettable selection of ales, spirits and wines.
The recent addition of three, well-designed, comfortable, en-suite, twin-bed cottages make the Cross Swords Inn an ideal place to stay.
