Overpriced and disappointing. Will not return

The room was tired. cracked lamp shades, peeling paint and a gap around the door I could literally fit my hand down. I’m fairly certain it doesn’t comply with fire regulations. Breakfast was served basically in the lobby. on arrival we waited to try even get in the car park, there was only 1 member of staff and after walking to reception then walking back to the car to gain entry we went to our room.

Good honest food

My wife and I went there for our evening meal (Tea, Dinner, supper, whatever you call it) and the food was superb. The steak and kidney pudding (locally made) was the best I've eaten and my wife had fish. Beautifully served and delicious. To cap it all, really nice friendly staff too.

Impeccable!

The staff were so polite and attentive throughout our time and the food was absolutely impeccable! I cannot emphasis enough how flavoursome and high quality the food itself was, portion sizes were perfect and the presentation was wonderful. We both agreed this place absolutely has exceeded what we’re already quite high expectations and we will definitely be visiting again!

Not good at all

My family and I had a meal at the traders arms and it was a disappointment, after reading all the reviews we thought we would give it a go, but the food was awful and the service was even worse, won't be returning.

Awful food

Food was cold, didn't have what was on the menu and agreed for a substitute, which I could have cooked better myself. Oven chips, cold veg and just not nice.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely excellent

Well worth the effort to visit , we had the fish and chips x2 plus the southern fried chicken tenders and chips, I can honestly say it was the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten out couldn’t fault it , my wife said her fried chicken was really tasty , the place itself is tastefully decorated and you can tell they have a pride about the way it looks. We would not hesitate to recommend this Inn, also a mention to the lady who looked after us Alice , brilliant!

What a treat

After a couple recent positive visits for food and drinks I thought we could arrange a long awaited family get together to Celebrate so many missed special occasions over the last few months .. we decided to use the marquee area ( even though the rest of the pub take hygiene VERY seriously). Ben and Kerry suggested a buffet due to numbers, I even met with the chef to choose options ! Boy we were not disappointed.

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!

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!
