It is right on the seafront so ideally located and the food is excellent. The staff are very friendly and the chef in particular seems to care about his customers. Drinks outside offer a great view of the beach and sea and the interior is well decorated.

Last week a few friends and I decided to celebrate a Birthday by going to the Cottonwood Boutique hotel; exceeding our expectations! We ordered from the Wine and Dine menu where you get 2 courses and a bottle of wine for only £14.95! We also had the option to top up to three courses for an extra £3.50, which of... More

We booked in to the Cottonwood Boutique Hotel for two nights at the May bank holiday weekend. We chose this hotel because it looked great on the website which stated it had been "stylishly refurbished in 2012". Indeed the reception, bar and library are nicely done with quirky decor and furnishings but unfortunately this is not extended to the rooms.... More

Just back from lunch at The Cottonwood Boutique Hotel. The hotel's had a make-over to become 'boutique' and is now very boldly decorated in puce/pink. The lunch, served in the restaurant end of the bar, was average/mediocre. Pleasant enough waiter but the food was just so boringly ordinary. My companion had steak & chips - average steak topped with 3... More

Thank you for your comments regarding lunch at the Cottonwood. Our Summer Wine & Dine menu, 2 courses and glass of wine for £14.95, has proven to be a popular choice since it's launch earlier in the month. We also offer the bar and lounge menu which compliments the wine and dine menu, by offering more vegetarian options. We are... More

Thank you for your comments and I'm glad that overall you enjoyed your stay. The hotel was busy with a party and wedding when you stayed hence the increased noise levels.
