The Cross Scythes

Country Comfort with a Sheffield Soundtrack

Modern comfort meets countryside charm at The Cross Scythes, a 4-star hotel nestled on the southern edge of Sheffield. Just over 11 miles from local concert venues like the FlyDSA Arena, this peaceful retreat offers a relaxing base for music lovers who want to escape the noise without straying too far from the action. Surrounded by gardens and a terrace, it’s an inviting spot to unwind after a night out.

The rooms are well-appointed with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and thoughtful extras like coffee machines and electric kettles. Some even come with balconies—perfect for that morning-after cup of tea.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes the right chord for concert-goers thanks to its peaceful location away from city noise, while still being close enough to major venues for a quick drive or taxi ride. Free private parking is a bonus for those hitting the show by car, and the 3:00 PM check-in time allows for a relaxed arrival. The on-site bar and restaurant make it easy to grab a bite or drink post-gig without needing to trek far.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a chill home base with space to relax
• Solo travelers attending a dream concert who want peace and quiet after the show
• Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans needing a quieter recovery spot after a high-energy night out
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar serve up hearty meals and drinks—ideal for pre-show dinners or post-concert chats. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar stays open late enough for a nightcap. Morning-after recovery is easy with breakfast available on-site, and there are local eateries within a short drive for more options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, the on-site bar is a cozy spot for a quiet pint or glass of wine. For those wanting more action, it's a short ride into Sheffield’s city center, where you’ll find lively pubs, clubs, and music bars to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests praise the friendly service, clean and comfortable rooms, and the hotel’s welcoming pub atmosphere. The location is frequently described as peaceful yet convenient, and many appreciate the free parking and great food and drink options on-site.

Areas for Improvement

While ideal for a quiet escape, the hotel is about a 20–30 minute drive from central Sheffield, so those wanting to walk to venues might prefer something more central. Also, no 24-hour front desk means late-night check-ins may require a heads-up.

The Bottom Line

A relaxed, country-style retreat with easy access to Sheffield’s music scene—perfect for concert-goers who want comfort, quiet, and convenience.
