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.

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.

Family birthday

The staff were very helpful on arrival by holding the door open as some of our party had mobility issues. Very welcoming. Busy pub but staff very efficient without rushing guests to choose food or drink. Excellent food. Good sized portions. Had salmon and prawn cocktail. Duck chorizo salad and goats cheese parcel. Mains were beef and mushrooms pot pie and thai salmon salad. Very tasty.

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.

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.

Very, very disappointing meal

Just returned from what potentially could have been a lovely meal. Unset table, warm water, and under cooked over priced risotto. When mentioned waitress replied as if trying to educate us that it was 'al dente'....... this doesn't translate as crunchy. Other food items did not match description. Won't be returning, and this probably explains why only 3 tables were taken all evening.

Awful, depressing place - Avoid

Before I even arrived I had a bad experience with Victoria in reservations who was rude and unhelpful. My room (and the whole hotel) was tired and shabby. The spa was not clean and there were several drunks in the sauna etc. (one of whom said she worked there !). They were serving alcohol in glasses around the pool area. Breakfast was a disaster-with the fruit salad arriving after the cooked breakfasts...I could go on. ..suffice to say this is an awful place on the edge of an industrial estate.

Well worth a visit!

Excellent food, excellent service and value for money. The menu is simple but with plenty of choice, portion sizes generous but not over facing and the food is good honest home cooked food by a chef who obviously knows what he is doing. It’s a long time since I’ve eaten at the Bay and I will be going back for more.

Would not recommend to anyone!

Booked a family meal for my sons birthday yesterday, what a disappointment. Some of the choices that our family ordered had run out, bearing in mind it was only 4.30pm, then some of the meals were under cooked. Next was the sweet course, no chocolate ice cream, someone ordered the lemon sorbet cheese cake and guess what no lemon sorbet left also they had run out of baileys for our coffee. It was a very disappointing evening and would never go again.

Disappointing.

The single room was dreadful. No chair to sit on. No shelving in bathroom to put toiletries on and the shower smelt of cat pee. Not a pleasant room to be in . Certainly not four star. It smelt awful, staff put bleach down the shower drain. Smell came straight back. Better rooms in a Premier Inn. Breakfast let down by having to wait too long fir your breakfast to come when ordered.

Shocking behaviour

The table became available just as my husband was ordering drinks so we all started to make our way through, only to be confronted with the rudest person I have ever encountered. She stood behind the bar and yelled they are not having that table. Absolutely horrified I was carrying my 9 month old grandson, so felt the only thing to do was to leave I have no words to describe the absolute horror this woman was. I would never set foot in that "pub" again.

Brilliant experience

7 of us went for a few drinks and a bite to eat. It didn’t disappoint from walking through the door. The staff were so friendly, the service was perfect. The food was out of this world. Will definitely be back and really looking forward to it!
