Poor food - rude manager

We ordered two meals which arrived very quickly but unfortunately the chips were cheap/ tasteless and there was a drizzle of gravy on the mince and onion pie meal (the pie was a small piece for a £12 meal along with cheap supermarket chips). We asked for a little more gravy and to our surprise found they had charged £1.50 for the extra. Upon bringing this to the attention of the lady on the till, the manager rudely interjected and stated that they would charge for it.

Won't be back!

Booked a table here a week prior for the first time available, 5pm. Bearing in mind I have a child that needs to do the whole routine for school, we walk in at 4:51pm to be told that it will be at least 15-20 minutes before we get our table. The poor waitress was apologetic, but the manager was not and the girl who told us the bad news at the till couldn’t care less . We used to visit this pub regularly, but this is the second time in a row we’ve had an issue with them.

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!

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

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.

What the heck was going on?

The food, whilst I can’t say has been bad in recent times, it is not what it used to be and it has gone down-hill. The customer service however, has noticeably declined. Gone are the friendly and helpful staff who could guarantee a decent service, rather it appears to be more of a bunch of kids in charge here, arguable more interested in socialising than taking down the details of orders correctly, nor ensuring all meals arrive somewhat together – if at all.

Home cooked food at its best

This is a lovely little pub, with lovely home cooked food. The menu has plenty for everyone, and there is a specials board each day. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. . Whilst there is a large car park across road, it can be a bit tricky crossing the road at bust times.

Quite uncomfortable due to the freezing cold room

The room was freezing cold. We couldn't get the temperature above 15oC and the air conditioning blew cold air all night. The shower room was freezing , even with the heated towel rail on. The breakfast wasn't very hot. The receptionist took a note of the problems we had encountered but didn't really offer any apology.

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.

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
