Poor afternoon tea!
Visited in Aug for a school friends reunion. Had to pay £29.99 for this in advance. Which I found odd. When we arrived in restaurant we were pretty much ignored. Asked for a jug of water which we were eventually given after about 20 mins. Afternoon tea was poor at best. Small portions and no staff available to complain to. Will not return.

Absolute rip-off
£25 to check in early? £25 to check out later? Because I used Booking.com, I had to also pay £10 to use the spa facility, which i did'nt, because you cant continue to use the spa after 11am on day of check out. Total con, and £17 for breakfast is truly obscene, I travelled alone but if your a family of 4 breakfast will set you back £68.00!!! Management obsessed with tricking customers out of anything they can. Pathetic actually. Plenty of other hotels in the area, use them instead.

Not a good experience
We ordered two meals. Scampi and chips and Hunters chicken with chips. After 20 minutes we were told they had no Scampi and was offered Fish goujons but in batter not breadcrumbs. Why tell us after 20 minutes ? And not after we had ordered. Surely the chef should know what he has in . Another 25 minutes of waiting, the food arrived . Only to have some Scampi on it and some fish goujons. Over cooked. Fries not chips. The Hunters chicken had way too much cheese on top.

Awful night's sleep at the Cottons Hotel.
The noise in bedroom 300 from the heating or plumbing sounded like a jet taking of at times. woke me in the night several times.

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?

Very disappointed. Not the hotel it used to be.
Most of staff were indifferent at best and miserable at worst. Had to chase tidying up and preparation of room every day. Public area toilets were in a poor state. Annoyed that a separate payment was required to use the pool in what is supposed to be a spa hotel. Service was slow. The hotel lacked any form of front of house leadership or motivation or support. Nothing made us feel like we would like to come to Cottons again

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.

Extremely disappointing overall
From the time we made a reservation until we checked in, we were inundated with emails urging us to book a table in the restaurant. These marketing emails were sent via the booking site and there was no option to stop them. At check in, we were told that we could not have breakfast unless we made a reservation. Thankfully, we never did. When we saw the menu we understood the reason for the aggressive marketing tactics - the prices in the restaurant were extremely high.

Not good at all.
Rooms quite basic, a bit tired looking and small, no fridge. Bar and breakfast service not great, slow, got things wrong, we had to cancel evening drink order after waiting over 20 mins or would have been late for restaurant. One member of staff put cutlery for breakfast on outside table where we were eating by holding the ‘eating’ end of spoons, knives etc. Considering it’s AA rating and price it was disappointing

Friendly local pub
Had a great afternoon here with friends , nice decor friendly locals and a few well behaved dogs. On our way to Blackburn just stopped off for one but ended up staying longer , very nice comfortable pub worth a visit.

Limited spa, limited wifi, overall poor.
Overall the reservation process is poor as they seemed to be expecting one guest despite the reservation clearing stating two guests. Even after check in the staff did not bother updating the room with towels etc for two guests. In summary there is no attention to customer service and the hotel certainly does not make sure a spa is available for residents (even the pool and whirl pool are limited access for children under 14 so kids have limited activties)

Simply the best pub in Blackburn
As the title suggests, this is the best pub in the area. Great ale, great staff, great food and great atmosphere. Always something going on. Keep up the good work guys..Just stopped off for one but ended up staying longer , very nice comfortable pub worth a visit.
