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.

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.

Popped in & so glad we did!

We were passing through and saw this fantastic building and were curious as it looked amazing. We were not disappointed at all. I had the Steak and ale pie and although don’t normally get excited by a pie I had to complement their chef as it was perfect! My wife was not disappointed by their burgers either. Lovely Staff, great service, not rushed but not too laid back. I would 100% recommend to any travellers looking for a drink and a bite to eat in Oswaldtwistle (I hope I spelt that right!)

Conned on afternoon tea.

Booked the afternoon tea for myself and friend for their birthday. On the website it says the price is £30. We enjoyed the food and service itself, but when it came to pay, our bill was £60. I questioned why it was double and the waitress said it was pp for the AT. On the website and menu there is nowhere it states its per person. No * used or small print, and was not explained when booked/on arrival and being seated.

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.

Terrible experience but never again.

Waited an hour for food with no apology. Kids pasta was cold. Ordered J20 which didn’t taste nice and was then told “their own version”. Children’s chicken and chips had 3 tiniest pieces of chicken I’ve ever seen. Staff were off hand and unprofessional. Ordered fish and chips. Fish like rubber, very dry and chips also dry. Children ordered fruit salad which was inedible and had to be returned. Again no apologies staff unprofessional.

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.

What a shame ...

It's quite simple. If I order steak and ale pie in a beautiful old pub with a pint of Thwaitses, I expect my chips to be fresh out of a chip pan - not chips that have been cooked (probably in an oven) and kept warm in an oven until being served - lukewarm and a bit dry. Basically, if I want oven chips I can have them at home. So it's a BIG thumbs down from me. Shame.

This spa is not worth 1 star!

After being told my party of 7 could turn up Sunday and use their pay as you gym spa pass and then have afternoon tea without needing payment. So we were all set rang today to book a treatment to now be told we are unable to go as they didn’t book it in. I managed to get a call back from the so called manager who more or less told me we were not told that and he could not accommodate us so bang goes my birthday treat as now too late to book anywhere else.
