Went to experience the Woodcote Hotel 610 squadron restaurant last weekend and was impressed with the layout and ambience of the restaurant menu choice was good and Sunday roast offer was good in general was a high standard however the service was terrible. A lot of very active young staff but not a lot of leadership. We waited 20 minutes for our table 30 minutes for our main course place to be cleared and drink orders were erratic — a real shame as I think this has great potential obviously in the kitchen they’re aiming to do great things just let down by front house on this occasion

We chose this hotel for its convenience to go into Liverpool for the day by train. It’s a few minutes away from the train station (by car) in Hooton and a day return was just £5.35 plus £1.30 to park all day. …

We had a lovely night's stay topped off with a lovely breakfast and service with a smile. Would love to come back and stay a little longer next time. Our suite was spacious and exceptionally clean. We didn't get the chance to sit out in the beer garden , however we will certainly do so when we stay again.

Had a meal to celebrate a special birthday. Extremely poor service from start to finish, had to ask for drinks after 25 mins, then ask again for our pre booked food after 1hr ..another hr and asked twice for dessert menu and still throughout this time no plates taken away. The staff seemed far too involved at the bar and not enough attention to diners. Have made a complaint to the manager and await his response would not recommend based on our experience.

Small hotel but worked well for my event. Held birthday celebrations for 50 people. Nice function room and hot buffet. Guests stayed over in spacious bedrooms followed by hearty breakfast. Close to motorway and station for good transport links.

Today we went for High tea to celebrate my mum's birthday and I have to say it was excellent.We arrived about half an hour early and we were seated right away.The staff were very attentive, water brought and asked what drinks we would like.Informed the food would be able 15 minutes which we were pleased with as we arrived early.The food for 3 of us arrived on 2 cake stands and a tray.The hot food was lovely and the scotch eggs where huge and delicious 😋A great selection of cakes and out coffee was replenished.Staff were attentive in asking if we needed anything, and boxing up what we were too full to finish.The dining room is lovely with tables well spaced out. Couldn't recommend the food here enough.

We stated at The Woodcote for one night in August 2024, while visiting friends in the area. The hotel is well located near the M56 and also Hooton Station for direct trains to Liverpool and Chester city centres. …
