Tired and overpriced

We paid £338 to stay here (£165 B&B and £8 parking). The bar, restaurant and courtyard are modern and inviting but as soon as you climb the stairs to the bedrooms, the cracks begin to appear (literally!). Our room was dark with only a small window and minimum lighting. The bathroom ceiling had mildew and the paint was peeling off. The sink had age lines and the internal doors were knocked and worm.

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.

Christening what a mistake!

I had booked one of the rooms for my grandsons christening and the quality of the Buffett was very poor. For the money I had paid there was hardly enough food for my guests and the presentation was terrible. It was as if they had forgotten and it was very last minute. I always give a second chance but I will never come here again. It's a shame as the hotel is lovely but the standard of service you would expect here is just not good enough.

Good value for money

Went for impromptu lunch. Excellent service. Food was lovely and very good value for money. I chose the scampi and changed the sides due to my foodie intolerances and this was accommodated without fuss. Staff very friendly.

Thats our first last time we will come here.

We visited as a family and we were not impressed. The layout is not accommodating nor warm, the food was not great. I personally ordered the Haloumi starter which lacked flavour and texture and for mains I ordered the chicken and ham pie which tasted odd and had perfectly squared chicken pieces in a white sauce with chunky pieces of bacon; similar to that you get a KG of for a few quid along with a mass produced pastry lid.

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.

Regular guest but never again!

Confused that after requesting a quiet room - I am next to a noisy lift. Reception seem to think hotel is busy but rooms still available on line, restaurant and car park not at all busy. Why would they ignore a reasonable request from a regular visitor?

Great value

Under new management and thought me an the missus would try out the new menu. The beer in here is always top notch and the food was great really good value for money. Had 2 courses a few drink bill was about £40 well worth it and just what we needed. Will definitely be back. Thanks very much guys

Very, very disappointing meal

Just returned from what potentially could have been a lovely meal. Unset table, warm water, and under cooked over priced risotto. When mentioned waitress replied as if trying to educate us that it was 'al dente'....... this doesn't translate as crunchy. Other food items did not match description. Won't be returning, and this probably explains why only 3 tables were taken all evening.

An experience to forget

My youngest nephew then found his glass had a serious and visible crack in it. The starters finally arrived a good 30 minutes after they had been ordered, again no apology and even then one of the starters was incorrect. They did offer, grudgingly, to exchange it.On to the main course. Five of the six meals arrived and, five minutes later mine arrived. I'd ordered from the specials board. it was said to include Mustard MASH. It arrived with hot food piled on a horrible heap of cold potato salad.

Not good

Novelty of the new landlord/landlady has worn off walked in on a Saturday night whilst they had an act on and sadly only a handful of people at the bar, looks like they have obviously upset a few people as the last night we went in you couldn't move, it would be such a shame o see a decent pub go under... thwaites need to seriously have a look at who they are employing to run their pubs

Family birthday

The staff were very helpful on arrival by holding the door open as some of our party had mobility issues. Very welcoming. Busy pub but staff very efficient without rushing guests to choose food or drink. Excellent food. Good sized portions. Had salmon and prawn cocktail. Duck chorizo salad and goats cheese parcel. Mains were beef and mushrooms pot pie and thai salmon salad. Very tasty.
