Came hungry left even hungry!! Not good at all

Ordered a 'special' red tai curry worth £20. Came in a tiny dish, rock hard microwaved rice, raw slimy prawns and a huge dollop of cheap curry sauce. Both soup starters we had came cold and one tasted as though it was drenched in Sambuca! Came hungry left hungry. Expected so much better from other reviews but wont be returning anytime soon! Awful

Excellent experience

Good, fresh food well cooked, great value for money. Attentive service but not fussy and very well kept beer! As I found out later that they are award winners. The log fire was lovely and cosy and certainly contributed to the warm friendly pub. We will definitely be back, and not just for our 10% discount.

Stopped by here on our way to the coast.

Given a warm friendly welcome by the barmaid we ordered drinks and asked if they were serving food told sorry no finishes at 2pm, it was 2.03pm.However off she went to check with the kitchen and told yes you can order food, and that's what you call customer service. We both ordered club sandwich and oh boy was it worth the wait, toasted bloomer with a side of fries and side salad. It was absolutely gorgeous and a huge portion.

Sunday lunch oh no!

We have dined at this pub before but a few weeks ago had an awful meal. the pie was dreadful with what was the meat?! and the pastry was inedible .The vegetables were soggy & overcooked.the staff were nice. The price we paid for what we had was expensive! We wont be diniing here again.

Poor service

So disappointing to have the front of house manager speak to my mum in such a manner. Not sure if the guy is under pressure but really, there is a way to speak to people, whether frustrated or not! Forcing their customers what to order and how much food they can order is beyond disgraceful behaviour!

Oh dear oh dear

Made a telephone booking for four adults one baby for sat evening made them aware re allergies etc I was told no problem I asked for a quiet table with room for a pram again no problem the table was booked for 8pm a little later I recieved a phone call from the staff making me aware that the kitchen closes at 8pm which in my experience is unheard of they also informed me that a disco was starting at 8 30 pm (coincidence?) In other words it was pointless us going really.

Unnacceptable

Our stay at the Cottons on 11th and 12th February(which was essential travel for my father's funeral) the heating didn't work, eventually found someone, who came and reset the thermostat, but went off again soon after, the second night was the same it was -1/2 outside, someone brought us a electric heater at about 10.30 pm . The shower didn't get hot. Had to ask for coffee, teaspoons etc . Frayed carpets. Very unpleasant stay in very personal circumstances. Room 148

How this hotel is rated 4 stars by the AA is beyond me

The room was not soundproofed, constant flow of noisy traffic throughout the night Noise from above room became increasingly intolerable. The bath didn't drain properly because the plughole was full of hairs. The toilet was filthy. We tried to make a formal complaint at reception but was told there were no complaint forms, etc..

What a treat

After a couple recent positive visits for food and drinks I thought we could arrange a long awaited family get together to Celebrate so many missed special occasions over the last few months .. we decided to use the marquee area ( even though the rest of the pub take hygiene VERY seriously). Ben and Kerry suggested a buffet due to numbers, I even met with the chef to choose options ! Boy we were not disappointed.

Dirty room, management needs to pay attention.

It wasn't just slightly dirty: I could run a finger through dust in various parts of the room, there was a leaky pipe underneath the floorboards in the bathroom that was seeping brown liquid and the bathroom smelt damp. The corridors and stairs were dirty, with frayed carpet and stains everywhere.

Overpriced, badly managed and bad service

The fact that its a spa hotel yet we couldn't use the Spa. Priority was given to locals and ppl who booked outside of booking.com. Feel cheated out of that given its a spa hotel and that's why we paid the overpriced rate yo go there. Also the service was bad and the food was bad. Took 40 minutes for breakfast to arrive and when it did it was presented by a young gentlemen who was covered in what patches. Poor guy, but not an appetising sight.

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?

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.
