Excellent experience

Good, fresh food well cooked, great value for money. Attentive service but not fussy and very well kept beer! As I found out later that they are award winners. The log fire was lovely and cosy and certainly contributed to the warm friendly pub. We will definitely be back, and not just for our 10% discount.

Christening what a mistake!

I had booked one of the rooms for my grandsons christening and the quality of the Buffett was very poor. For the money I had paid there was hardly enough food for my guests and the presentation was terrible. It was as if they had forgotten and it was very last minute. I always give a second chance but I will never come here again. It's a shame as the hotel is lovely but the standard of service you would expect here is just not good enough.

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.

Not worth the money - not a luxury experience.

The Leisure facilities were not what we were expecting for a "spa" more like the local swimming pool. The prices in the restaurant were not reflective of the food or service. The room was like a premier inn but the bedding was ancient. The spa treatments were not luxury, the staff were nice, but £42 nails were all smudged on the way out as we were moved along before they dried. By this point we had already decided we were never going back and had another event to go to so left.

Awful stay at the Cottons hotel

Dirty beds, ants and loud rooms. Over booked rooms (and keys to said rooms given out to multiple sets of guests!). Other guests starting fights and stealing. Items missing from food order at breakfast. This is NOT a four star hotel. I wouldn't stay again even if it were given to me for free. Sorry.

POOR QUALITY SERVICE

The service was very poor and I was not impressed with the quality. Waiting staff were lounging around and watched me eat which made me feel very uncomfortable. Felt like I was rushed out of the restaurant and given the bill without me even asking for it! WOULD NOT RETURN

An experience to forget

My youngest nephew then found his glass had a serious and visible crack in it. The starters finally arrived a good 30 minutes after they had been ordered, again no apology and even then one of the starters was incorrect. They did offer, grudgingly, to exchange it.On to the main course. Five of the six meals arrived and, five minutes later mine arrived. I'd ordered from the specials board. it was said to include Mustard MASH. It arrived with hot food piled on a horrible heap of cold potato salad.

Yuk

Went with my husband for cheese pie special,sat looking around and it was dirty. Dead flies on the windows ledge and carpet needed a vac. Ask for condiments and brown sauce and ketchup came squirted on a plate and looked lumpy.tasted it and was disgusting. The cheese pie was made with blue cheese( not written on the menu) so I didn't like that. Pleasant service but overall experience was like a greasy jeans!

How this hotel is rated 4 stars by the AA is beyond me

The room was not soundproofed, constant flow of noisy traffic throughout the night Noise from above room became increasingly intolerable. The bath didn't drain properly because the plughole was full of hairs. The toilet was filthy. We tried to make a formal complaint at reception but was told there were no complaint forms, etc..

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, bad slow service

We had booked a table for a party of 10 to round off a weekend away celebrating friends 40th birthdays. Having walked for an hour to get to the pub we were very thirsty and ordered drinks which we had to wait 15 minutes for. We then ordered food with a couple of nibble plates to keep us going. An hour and a half after arriving we still didn't have our main courses. The pub did not appear that busy.

An Unmitigated Disaster

The Wedding ceremony: The room for the ceremony was not set up as requested by wedding couple - this was for personal reasons suffice to say they were important. The wedding partys flowers were lost - I was asked by a member of the staff if I knew where they were! And I was a guest! At the time of signing the register, it had gone missing, dispite being provided the day before ceremony. Before it even began, the bride (quite understandably) was in tears due to ineptitude of staff.

Typical Thwaites overpriced & unedifying

We stayed at this hotel as we were attending a wedding reception. i think the hotel is overated as it needs updating. The room was tiny and very old fashioned. The drinks were expensive and the snack we had in the bar before the wedding was overpriced a burger and chips was £22.50 i would have expected steak for that price. I would not recommend this hotel,We also didnt have breakfast as it was £27.00 each

Not good

Novelty of the new landlord/landlady has worn off walked in on a Saturday night whilst they had an act on and sadly only a handful of people at the bar, looks like they have obviously upset a few people as the last night we went in you couldn't move, it would be such a shame o see a decent pub go under... thwaites need to seriously have a look at who they are employing to run their pubs
