Overpriced old rusty rotten hotel room for £250

Sofa bed was horrendously inadequate. huge mirror stuck above the main bed, which I was nervous of sleeping under, especially as a boy was killed near us from a large mirror falling off a wall and crushing him. woken up middle of the night by drunk guests parting in the halls, no staff to assist with the noise/behaviour. drinks very over priced, £10 for a glass of Prosecco. service at breakfast was non existent. so expensive for a grimy hotel room.

Rip off, avoid at all coste

Absolute rip off!! Do not bother going, save your well earned money and go elsewhere. £10.45 for a pint of shandy and an orange and Lemonade. Absolutely scandalous. When I queried the cost, the bar tender looked sheepishly at the till, she knew it was overpriced and looked embarrassed. How a pub can charge those prices is ridiculous. In a city centre trendy bar I would expect that, not in a local pub.

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.

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

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!

Great value

Under new management and thought me an the missus would try out the new menu. The beer in here is always top notch and the food was great really good value for money. Had 2 courses a few drink bill was about £40 well worth it and just what we needed. Will definitely be back. Thanks very much guys

Poor food and service so very Thwaites

We booked a meal on Sunday 14th May for a friends birthday. We all ordered our meals and then ordered drinks. The men ordered blonde beer only to be told it was off and they would have to wait. I ordered a a 5 been chilli. When it came it was cold and dry I sent it back only to receive the same meal back with some greenery on top.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Poor afternoon tea!

Visited in Aug for a school friends reunion. Had to pay £29.99 for this in advance. Which I found odd. When we arrived in restaurant we were pretty much ignored. Asked for a jug of water which we were eventually given after about 20 mins. Afternoon tea was poor at best. Small portions and no staff available to complain to. Will not return.

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..

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.

Spare your cash for the real spa hotel.

Hotel has no foyer.. its unbelievable. £234 a night for a junior room with no breakfast. Ancient rooms with dirty carpets and horrid smell. Got a room cheaper at a spa nearby not.far from Thwaites so called Spa.

Business hotel they are joking!

Rude staff and Management didn’t seem to care less! Not worth the money paid for rooms. Had better experience elsewhere for less money. For the benefit of minimum characters, manager wasn’t bothered with dealing with my complaint, staff clearly working for their wage and that’s it!
