Just returned from another 4 day walking break and as usual our guests had an excellent time. Great food,great staff and always very welcoming. Judy and Alan who own the hotel are lovely people and Helen and Steven who run the bar and restaurant are always very accommodating.Highly recommended.

We stayed at the Charles Cotton on their 3 nights for 2 offer,1st nights 3 course dinner included 20% off subsequent a la carte meals and free packed lunch. Everything was brilliant,room, staff, breakfast,evening meals and the packed lunch topped the lot.Exceptional value for money in a lovely warm friendly hotel. Hope to return again.
