Charles Cotton Hotel

When we arrived there was no hospitality, just your in room 18 its out the door and upstairs in the barn. We ventured into the bar for a drink, had to take my drink back and ask for a clean glass as it was filthy. The area smelt of cooking fat! And also had a dirty floor and tables.
To top it all off our final night was spoilt by a loud band playing till one o clock in the morning, and loud patrons shouting and singing till all hours of the morning.
The following morning on check still no interaction with guests we were told I will take the keys which the gentleman took from us.
No thank you for your custom or or asking us how everything was which we normally get after staying 3 nights.
It’s a shame this has gone down hill in the past couple of years because it is in such a lovely area.
If booking make sure you check to see if there is a band on.
They don’t advertise this on the website only signs in the bar which is too late when you are already there to check in.
Definitely won’t be returning,

beautiful area. nice pub for a drink. great walks. third visit

The rooms need modernising. Beds are very uncomfortable can feel springs. Can hear voices in adjacent rooms and music playing til way after 11.30 pm on Tuesday night.

Nice breakfast nice service but very noisy when your in your room

We really like this hotel and have visited for many years.
Nice dinner options and lovely breakfast.

Cute property, lovely staff! Great location. The band in the pub made the trip

Nice room with great view of the village, great food available. Great nights sleep as bed so confy

Great stay comfy and great service from owner Dee he couldn’t do enough for our group

Staff friendly but room very dated and not that clean. Music in the pub on until late so if you are after a quiet night on Saturday don’t book a room here. It’s a locals pub with rooms. Breakfast not included in price which is steep for room only, especially when single occupancy.

Very good nights sleep with comfy beds .

The facilities for paying my bill at the Charles Cotton hotel are disgraceful. The paying machine does not work correctly, and resulted in my having my debit card blocked. Very inconcenient.

We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the beautiful village, lovely views and fabulous food. Fully recommend and will definitely revisit

Great setting in a lovely little village. Good food and very comfy pillows!
Staff were obliging. I didn't have breakfast though.

Nice hotel . Very friendly staff. Overall ok. The only problem we had is we've both come home with a bad back as mattress sank in the middle. So not a brilliant sleep. Also no usb sockets.

We stayed here in 2021 on a little babymoon and loved it so much that we returned for another little babymoon with baby number 2 in 2024. Lovely hotel, very clean and comfortable. The bar/restaurant is really lovely and very well priced.

Had a lovely few nights stay here. Hartington is a pretty little village and is a great central location for lots of lovely walks and attractions. The hotel is very cosy and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are clean, we stayed in the annexe and weren't disappointed at all. Definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you for a great weekend.

Staff very friendly and helpful . Bedding very clean and bed comfortable .👍 Breakfast not so good as the speed it was bought out to us it had obviously been pre cooked and just warmed up and only the egg cooked to order . The whole place is generally run down & tired .. as for the paintwork … we would suggest spec savers for the decorator 🤔. 🙄

Extremely cold room upon arrival and took a while to heat up. 1 small radiator in the bedroom and 1 small radiator in the bathroom and on an extremely cold sub zero snowy weekend in December, these were inadequate to heat up the room to a comfortable level. I was part of a group who had a group dinner, which was poor and the dining room was cold. I wouldn't stay again; it was expensive for what it was.

Lovely pub, restaurants and rooms great food and staff, only downside was rooms where a bit cold

We liked the room. The bed was extremely comfortable. I was pleased to see a bath but unfortunately could not adjust from the shower to bath taps so couldn’t fill it! The food was excellent but the drinks let it down badly. Lots of the nice wine was not available and there were only two amber ales. The staff were pleasant. And it’s a great spot in the village.
