The Ragged Cot

Went here for lunch, the staff were really nice and the beer was lovely. But food and service let it down terribly. We ordered a starter and a main, the mains got messed up and 1 was sent to another table then we watched the waitress it back out to the kitchen and immediately bring it back out to our table. I didn’t know if the other table had sampled a chip or two off the plate but that put me off a bit. Then we waited about 10 minutes for my husbands order to arrive. My chips were cold from the jump but stone cold by the time his arrived. His then went back as they forgot bacon. I had a chicken burger and it was a good attempt just weird. The batter was all around the edge of the chicken, which just tasted like fried flour. It had Asian coleslaw with Peri peri mayo which was a flavour combo I won’t recommend. The onion rings just tasted like dirty fat, they went untouched. My husbands burger was clearly frozen as it tasted just like a hungry horse burger. We said to the waitress that it was a bit gross and we didn’t really enjoy it. Not looking for any money off or anything. She was a bit awkward and just said sorry and then we left £75 lighter and vowing not to go back. The old lodge is far superior and same price bracket (£20 for a main). The restaurant was also FREEZING. I sat in my coat the whole time as did the other tables. I’m not just whinging. But if everyone’s sat with their coats on - put the heating on! The toilets I could see my breath in… it was odd, like a once posh pub trying to hold onto that without success

We had a lovely 1 night stay at the Ragged Cot. The staff were friendly and professional, nice room with toasty heating, very comfortable bed and a fantastic waterfall shower. We reserved a table for dinner which we both thoroughly enjoyed, they've got a great Chef in the kitchen. The convenience of strolling to the comfort of our room after a satisfying meal was genuine bliss. To top it off the included breakfast was delicious too. We were expecting something fairly basic but got a hearty full English and eggs Benedict which kept us going for most of the day!

My husband, teenage son and I stayed at this wonderful little hotel for three nights. The rooms were perfect, simple and very clean. The staff were very attentive and helpful. We had lovely roast Sunday lunch and evening dinners. Top notch!
