We will not be visiting again!

The service was extremely poor considering that it was not busy and there were ample waiting on staff. We had to ask for everything from ordering to asking to pay not to mention over a half hour to wait for food and with a young baby in the party this was not acceptable. The food was just ok, the portion sizes were very disappointing thus making the value under par. The scallop starter was also poor value with three scallops for £17.50!! We haven't even paid that in some Manchester restaurants.

Good honest food

My wife and I went there for our evening meal (Tea, Dinner, supper, whatever you call it) and the food was superb. The steak and kidney pudding (locally made) was the best I've eaten and my wife had fish. Beautifully served and delicious. To cap it all, really nice friendly staff too.

Absolutely lovely meal

We came across this pub on a drive the other day and decided to book in for lunch. Really cosy style pub with lovely log fires, different seating areas and a large car park. There are amazing views from the back of the pub. Extensive menu with something for everyone and the prices are decent also far too many pubs these days yet to make their menus posh and fancy but this one is great home cooked food and lots of choice.

Never ever have a meal here!

We ordered prawn and smoked salmon cocktail, which at £18:95 seemed a little expensive. What it comprised of was a small piece of smoked salmon and about 8 baby shrimps. ( Prawns they were not and even calling them shrimps would be a stretch.) All on a bed of lettuce. The chips that came with the main course were half cooked, tasteless and difficult to swallow. The linguine had almost the equivalent of two sliced chilli peppers hidden it which completely took away the delicate flavour of the crab

What a disappointment it turned out to be.

Starters arrived and although not the best in the world were edible. 7 of the 8 mains arrived and people were waiting for the 8th before tucking in. However after 5 minutes or so, we had to chase the waiter for the outstanding meal. This arrived after a few more minutes on a stone cold plate with no apology whatsoever.

Overpriced, lacklustre service, couldn’t use facilities

We had several issues with our stay, all of which would probably have been fine at a cheaper hotel, but were really not up to four star standard. Furthermore could probably have let them go by if any member of staff had shown anything more than grumpy disinterest in our comfort or experience: I received emails telling me to call and book in advance to get a slot in the pool, when I did call I was told only direct bookings could prebook.

Really poor

Lift broken x nobody advised us so mother in law stuck in her room. Receptionist rude x abrupt. Food for a buffet was a disgrace, pretty much inedible. Have emailed General Manager 3 times along with the CEO of Thwaites x not even the courtesy of a reply from either of them, typical of Richard Bailey. If I could would give no stars but can only leave review if you click at least 1.

This is a Fawlty Towers hotel without the wit

This hotel entirely rests on its laurels due to the location. My room was incredibly noisy, small and massively overpriced. This is a Fawlty Towers hotel and don't bother to complain because neither the staff nor Basil can handle it. Its all the customers fault.

Really good value

Held our wedding reception at this venue. Nothing was too much trouble and all ran smoothly, from the timing of the food courses being served, even allowing breaks when needed as the portion sizes were generous. Food was all lovely and commented on by all. Big thank you to Tom, Mark and all the staff.

Rude Manager typical of Thwaites group.

Stayed with a group of friends for a birthday celebration & long walks with the dogs. Beautiful setting, comfortable but small rooms. Food average, service very poor. Assistant Manager made us feel that everything was too much trouble, that we were an inconvenience instead of paying guests. Requested feedback from us then emailed an appalling & very offensive reply.

Shocking behaviour

The table became available just as my husband was ordering drinks so we all started to make our way through, only to be confronted with the rudest person I have ever encountered. She stood behind the bar and yelled they are not having that table. Absolutely horrified I was carrying my 9 month old grandson, so felt the only thing to do was to leave I have no words to describe the absolute horror this woman was. I would never set foot in that "pub" again.
