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.

Great stay with great service

Turned up with a party of 16, had to add a plus one and was well accommodated, really good food and service, mine didn't arrive as expected but the team put it right straight away, always difficult with a large party of people, but the food came almost simultaneously for everyone which was unexpected, food was excellent from that point, the place has a lovely historic feel to it as several of our party had been here before over the last couple of decades, would definitely return myself.

So very disappointed

We dined there this evening! My partners starter & main course was ok but my food was hugely disappointing. My starter was smoked salmon with prawns “ and the salmon was dried around the edges plus the prawns where tasteless and a strange shade of green “ I understand it was ment to be a verde sauce” but the presentation and taste was yuk!! Partner main lasagne & he say was just ok! The pasta was hard.

It’s not a cheap hotel but it felt like it.

We arrived into a dark, stuffy room with view from the window of the main busy road. The aircon was very poor, but opening the window to the sound of cars and Manchesters flight path of continuous planes wasn’t an option. I thought I would grab an extra pillow from the wardrobe - but to was stained and mouldy. I didn’t use the shower or bath - I honestly felt really quite uncomfortable and in the morning following breakfast I couldn’t wait to come home.

Dreadful sleep, Food made us very ill.

The food - was just terrible, yes I am a vegetarian but un cooked peppers and soggy veg is just not my thing. To make things worse, several family members including myself got very very poorly from the evening buffet!! (we have informed the hotel and are awaiting a call back which has yet to materialise!) The room - we were awoken at 0800 on the sunday morning by a laundry delivery, lots of banging and shouting.

The food was ghastly

I'm moved to write a review for the first time because I can't believe that someone can spend so much effort on making a restaurant nice but then serve such poor food. I had venison pie with triple cooked chips. The pastry was hard to cut and the filing didn't taste of game nor anything other than the heavy salty sauce it was in. The chips were over cooked, stale and completely tasteless. The only part of the meal that had any flavour was the veg which consisted of a few carrots.

I will never stay at this establishment again!

It was the noisiest hotel I have stayed in. Doors banging,people shouting and being able to hear what was happening in the room & bathroom was not pleasant. close to the airport so numerous planes flying over. worst was the cleanliness in the bathroom, wall had something smeared across it, the plug holes were disgusting, thick black gunge put me of using the bath or the basin as it was extremely visible.

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

Not good enough ?

We had been to a canal gala and drove here for a late Sunday lunch. We were met by a lady who said we could sit at any table that hadn`t got a reserved notice (we are not stupid) and she would follow us through with menus. We found a nice table for two and waited and waited for the lady to appear. We were completely ignored and yet people arriving after us were shown the specials board and given menus. We eventually left without either food or drink.

Dont bother

Food is okish. I had the steak and asked for medium but it came out rare. The grey haired older woman that runs it is so rude and obnoxious. Love, you live in a little pub that no one cares about. If you were so important you would have retired 20 year ago but instead your on your feet everyday. You’re deluded !
