Thwaites hotels are awful.

I booked two rooms to treat my Mum to a night away. We had our rooms beside each other & upon entrance of the room I was instantly disappointed. The decor & furnishings are so tired & dated, the walls had marks all over them in various places, the bathroom shower tiles are in serious need of new grouting & the marble sink is discolored & stained, not what I expect to see when paying for a 4 * hotel! The bar service is a joke, waiting half an hour for our drinks to be brought over to us.

NEVER AGAIN !

To our surprise the table behind (that had ordered the exact same meals) received their food before us! We had to wait an additional 10 minutes for our food to arrive, which was okay but nothing to shout about. We were then asked if we’d like to look at the dessert menu which we accepted, after 15 minutes of waiting for them to come I had to ask the manager for them !! Very poor all round from all the staff ! Unimpressed with the dissatisfying service and will NOT RETURN.

A wonderful experience

My husband and I have just had a wonderful meal at this gastro pub. We chose the roast beef & Yorkshire pudding with vegetables. For dessert I had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream whilst my husband had rum & rain ice cream with a rum to pour over the top. Everything was freshly made (no frozen stuff) It was the best meal we have ever had in ages. We highly recommend paying the pub a visit but book a table first. Very friendly welcoming staff.

Impeccable!

The staff were so polite and attentive throughout our time and the food was absolutely impeccable! I cannot emphasis enough how flavoursome and high quality the food itself was, portion sizes were perfect and the presentation was wonderful. We both agreed this place absolutely has exceeded what we’re already quite high expectations and we will definitely be visiting again!

Family meal

We went up after the refurb and yes what a difference the deco and the place looks amazing well done to the new tenants and all the staff. We ordered food which the Chef Colin always delivers and the quality is amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

A disappointing night away from home.

When I arrived the reception staff were abrupt and unwelcoming. The room was adequate although the pillows were awful. For a room costing over £200 I would say it was barely worth a quarter of that. I will not be returning. Oh and the advertised bath products were tiny. Don’t try to order a la carte at breakfast as you can’t. What you can do is order the fixed options without various of the things!!!!

UNTRUSTWORTHY STAFF

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights for a friends wedding. When I checked out Saturday morning I realised within 15 minutes that I had left my toiletries in the bathroom and phoned the hotel straight away to inform them as cleaners had not yet been to my room to clean. A lady on reception told me they would go to the room to retrieve the items and call me back to arrange posting. I received a phone call over 24 hours later on Sunday evening to say that none of my items were found.

This spa is not worth 1 star!

After being told my party of 7 could turn up Sunday and use their pay as you gym spa pass and then have afternoon tea without needing payment. So we were all set rang today to book a treatment to now be told we are unable to go as they didn’t book it in. I managed to get a call back from the so called manager who more or less told me we were not told that and he could not accommodate us so bang goes my birthday treat as now too late to book anywhere else.

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.

Terrible experience but never again.

Waited an hour for food with no apology. Kids pasta was cold. Ordered J20 which didn’t taste nice and was then told “their own version”. Children’s chicken and chips had 3 tiniest pieces of chicken I’ve ever seen. Staff were off hand and unprofessional. Ordered fish and chips. Fish like rubber, very dry and chips also dry. Children ordered fruit salad which was inedible and had to be returned. Again no apologies staff unprofessional.

Disgusting service and food contamination

We decided to visit the The Royal after a family walk and ordered 3 meals. We ordered the firecracker chicken as part of our meals. In the salad was a large feather beneath the salad. When we approached the staff the bar lady was kind and polite and took the plate away. What happened next was disgusting. The manger rudely came over and stated that this was not his fault and he wouldn't be offering a replacement

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.
