"Christmas meal on Christmas day. For a family of four to be placed on a small round table was an absolute joke to start with. After we complained, we were asked to move onto a different table. The starters were brought in quick time, which was a delight to see. We waited for the starter plates to be cleared away. The main meals came with over cooked parsnips, bearly able to cut through. There was no taste in the Brussel sprouts, probably frozen. The plates were overflowing with cabbage and gravey, and the turkey was processed off a roll. I was asked how I liked my stake when I made the booking medium to well. The steak was nearly walking off the plate. I sent it back to be cooked more. It came back and was very nice although a little fatty. The Christmas pudding and the sticky toffee pudding were very nice. My wife's cheese board was an absolute joke by any means. Two pieces of cheese and two pieces of what looked like malt loaf. The waitress didn't even know what it was. So it was sent back as it didn't have any crackers to accompany the cheese. It was returned as an upgraded cheese board with cheese crackers and celery with a small pot of pickle. When paying the remainder of our bill, we were asked if everything was OK. We explained that it was not, and we were all disappointed. The Owner/Manager mouthed something to a customer at the bar before going into the kitchen. That was not very professional from you. Instead of airing your views with someone else, maybe air your concerns with the people making a complaint. When paying £60 a head, you expect to be treated with respect. I gave a one because that was the lowest I could give. It's not a place we shall be visiting again in a hurry."

"My husband and I booked this break with a voucher we received at Christmas and it was a belated anniversary celebration due toLockdown rules and restrictions.I emailed the hotel in advance and asked if we could possibly have a nice top floor room and this was exactly what we got. All the accommodation is behind the hotel in a separate building and we liked this because you could come and go as you pleased without having to go through the hotel. We were very pleased with the spacious top floor room we were allocated. It was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed and lots of wardrobe and drawer space as well as 2 comfortable chairs. A full sized kettle and also a good hairdryer were provided and ample tea and coffee sachets. The only slight problem we had was a noisy fan in the bathroom which did not switch off with the light. We realised by our second night that the door also had to be completely closed to switch off the fan so we got a better nights sleep the next day. The restaurant in The County is lovely and we dined there on Saturday night, my scampi was delicious and my husband enjoyed his gammon. Table service and social distancing was very good. We also had a nice breakfast on Sunday morning in The County Coffee Shop which was very tasty and good value. All the staff at The County are very friendly and helpful and the hotel is in a very good area, ideal for visiting the Lakes or nearby Morecambe where we enjoyed visiting. We did have a problem with the noise of traffic when we had the windows open but it did go quiet at night when the windows were closed and we slept well once we had sorted the fan out."
