Commodore Inn in South Lakeland

Always our go to pub in Grange, staff are so welcoming and friendly. Food great too.

Food was may be just average. Apart from soup of the day rest of the food tasted like just made from frozen. Not fresh. Dirty baby chair.

Food and service both ok, if a little expensive, but not a pleasant experience at all. Clientele consisted of loud, sweary Scousers and Glaswegian fishwives holding long, loud conversations on speaker phone. You just wouldn't do it, would you?!

Did not stay but used the bar and food which were both great. Fantastic location in the town and close to station.

We ate at 2pm on a November Sunday and waited a long time for our food both starter and mains. We ordered drinks on the app that were missed. Chicken schnitzel came with a dozen skin on fries and the tomato and feta salad had a crumb of feta that could hardly be seen let alone tasted. A burger was over cooked and an 8 ounce piece of steak had so many sinews half of it was inedible and couldn't be cut with a serated knife. Nothing wrong with the service. Not value for money. Should have taken photos.

We had a really pleasant stay over 3 days. It’s a shame that you are reliant on the local council car park as the council isn’t well known for its generosity but as a blue card holder the additional free hour is helpful first thing in a morning and overnight parking is free. Serious compliments on your breakfast offering, we’ll definitely be back for more when in the area.

The commodore inn, what to say? Probably the worst accomodation I've ever had. Unfortunately I can't post the pictures for some reason but we stayed in the room called the gallery and it was shocking the bed was easily 10-15 years old with indents from people sleeping in it and was so uncomfortable we ended up sleeping on the floor. This morning when trying to shower and freshen up the shower didn't work the pull cord for the shower was up to the ceiling. I'm 6ft 3in and couldn't reach it the cord was ripped and coming away from the shower head. There were no curtains only a blind that doesn't open or close you have to move the lats yourself. Didn't have food here. There was cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and a gap under the door that you could put your hand through. However The girl that checked us in was lovely and friendly. No one to help with check out or complain to as I would have demanded a full refund

I call here every time I'm in the area as the service has always been impeccable, the choice of drink is varied and the side dishes have always been tasty. The place itself has had some major improvements over the past year. It now looks fresh and inviting, whereas it used to just look like a glorified drinkers pub. I'm really impressed with what they've had done. The building to one side, I decided to eat something more substantial today, but not a 'full' meal, so chose something off the 12-3 sandwich menu. I had warm ham and cheese, which comes with a side salad and fries. Thinking this would be a small plate meal, I also ordered onion rings, which is a regular 'go to' for me here. After only a short wait my food arrived, a MOUNTAIN of it. It arrived on a full size dinner plate. The sandwich, which was actually a really fresh deli roll, was laden with what looked like half a pig and a block of melted cheese!! It was amazing. Then there was the fries........ OMG, I think the chef was challenging themselves to see how many they could get on the plate!!... It was all delicious and most certainly EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY. There really was no need to bulk it up with the onion rings.... That said, I ploughed through the lot, and now cannot move. I could really do with an afternoon nap now!!!..... Will recommend this place to anyone AND everyone!!! A big THANK YOU to all at the Comm

My gorgeous lady wife randomly spotted a view of Ullswater posted on Facebook by Bill Bailey, and thoughts turned to a quick visit to The Lakes, where I grew up but Karen hadn't visited. My old home town of Grange- over-Sands that I departed manh moons ago was selected as a base for our two night break and after a bit of judicious Tripadvisoring we picked on the Commodore Inn for it's location, bay views and frankly astounding value (I was so surprised by our two night 'Winter Warmer' deal, booked on the hotel's own website, that I rang the hotel to check it was correct!). We arrived mid-afternoon on the Sunday (joys of being retired is that we can be flexible), parked in the public car park right in front of the hotel and checked in. The welcome was warm and inviting, as was our recently refurbished room (The Captain's Quarters) with a comfy bed, good bathroom and two chairs positioned to sip coffee and take in the stunning views out over Morecambe Bay. Our first night dinner and a bottle of wine were included the deal and food was top rate pub grub, with portions so generous that, with the help of some helpfully provided takeaway containers, we had a picnic sorted for the next day! Breakfast was also good and plentiful, and could not fault the friendly and attentive service from all the staff. All in all an excellent, great value location, with good grub and friendly staff. Just note the portion sizes and don't over order!

We've eaten at the Commodore 2 or 3 times before so we took family in over this weekend. Having had Ham egg and chips on a previous occasion that was very tasty and being a large portion, was good value for money. My wife and I decided to have it again this time, well something has gone drastically wrong in the kitchen because it was far from what we'd had previously. Apparently they'd run out if ham, reluctantly we accepted bacon instead. It came out swimming in oil and with under cooked eggs. My wife returned hers without even trying it, we had it refunded without question to be fair. Fortunately the meals other members of our had were nicely done, but not impressed I'm afraid.

Called in during a walk along Grange-over-Sands prom on a lovely cool day. Nice welcome into the Inn. Good all round menu and big portions. Comfortable venue.

Lovely room and view and a great position. Didn't eat there as I was spending time with family.

We holiday in grange over sands a couple of times a year as a girls getaway and always visit the Commodore for drinks and some food. The food has always been fabulous but this visit was just outstanding. We went in for Sunday lunch and everything was just so tasty. Staff are all very friendly and accommodating. I am quite picky with what I eat so they brought all the veg out on separate plates so that I could choose what I liked. Great variety to choose from! Couldn’t finish all of it but the staff very kindly gave us take out containers so we could take it home for supper. Would highly recommend and can’t wait until next time!!

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch it as out of this world. Chef came to talk to us and was very friendly. Service of the bar staff was very friendly and accomodating. Even gave us a doggy bag to take home our leftovers 😋 highly recommended 👌 well done to all 😋

We had booked a table in the restaurant and on arrival had a drink in the bar where we found the barman to be very socially inadept and rude. We then went through to the restaurant to find it in darkness. I questioned this with the rude little man and he just walked away. We will certainly never visit again.

Food is excellent. Large portions and the quality is fabulous. The price is very fair for the quality of the meal. Staff are friendly and happy.

Had a drink on the balcony before dinner, the view is amazing and as the sun set the colours in the bay changed and were beautiful. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was very ordinary but filled us up for very reasonable price! Not great cuisine but adequate!

The poor staff were run off their feet. Food wasn't great to be honest, but did the job.

We were made very welcome by the staff they were very helpful and pleasant

Went for lunch, which was delicious & plentiful. The hot ham & melted cheese roll was very tasty with plenty of thick cut ham, there were plenty of chips & the cup of soup tasted home made. I had my eye on the Eton Mess but sadly I was too full to eat it.

It was ok if you are happy to wait nearly an hour for a simple meal of a bowl of soup and a ham roll. Can't be bothered to write any more.

The food was amazing. We had 2 Sunday roasts and chicken schnitzel. The roasts were great. Lots of different vegetables roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese. Huge yorkshire pudding. For dessert we had Eton mess and baileys cheesecake. Again these were huge portions. Love value for money and this place definitely gives you this. The place itself is lovely. Would def recommend the Sunday lunch

Lovely place with good range of drinks. Nice seating area outside that is also partly covered by the upstairs veranda. Worth getting the train to with walk round proper old duck pond and promenade being done up.

A really good meal with friendly service. The venue is in a good position facing The Bay in Grange over Sands. Looked as though it had been recently refurbished. Will return.

Pros- Good portions, good food. Cons - Inexperienced staff, but they're probably just a bit Cumbrian ans socially awkward

Service thankfully outweighed the quality of room.

Popped in for lunch after a lovely walk on the promenade, we decided to opt for the lunchtime menu and had the Cold Deli Sandwiches (Prawns with Marie Rose sauce & Chicken Chipotle). The sandwiches were huge and served with fries and salad. The staff were great and super quick service and after ordering the food was on the table very quickly. We would recommend you try it

Great food generous portions and pleasant staff

Stayed overnight but wouldn't stay again. Breakfast choice limited to just porridge unless you want a cooked breakfast.

Stayed for 1 night Absolutly loved this hotel. Staff are brilliant cant do enuff 4 u. Food was fantastic andcreasonanbly priced. Room clean and cosy Will definetly come back again .

Firstly Hotel very unhelpful when trying to change my date for a 1 night stay. Arrived, paid for parking which was not mentioned in the hotels guide. Only when your in the room does the welcome pack state its free between 6pm and 8am, no good to most guests. Bar was very dated and uncoordinated, toilets were disgusting. Food, ok just basic pub grub nothing special. Upstairs to the rooms, the stairs were filthy and laundry left on the landing. Most rooms were named after a part of a ship, ours the Galley but you wouldn't know it as the sign had fallen off. Very small room, again very basic and a tiny window not the big bay window as advertised. Room clean,poor decor. tiny shower, sloping floor in bathroom and what was up with toilet roll holder, get a proper one and more than half a roll would be appreciated of cheap toilet paper. 7.30am 8am approx, fire alarm went off due to water leeks apparently Breakfast was ok but coffee filter was dirty, coffee burnt or old. Milk jug dirty. Again not a welcoming environment cleaning stuff and boxes greeted us. Balcony doors locked so no fresh air. All seemed very grubby. Will not returning and I would not recommend it. Sorry needs sorting out.

I don't often leave reviews but for the purposes of constructive feedback.... the meals which required seasoning and flavour were sadly below par to the point of not being enjoyable (soup & the mussels). The bog standard fried food was absolutely fine. The food isn't cheap (although average) so one would expect food to taste good especially if on the specials board. We live locally but sadly wouldn't return based on our most recent meal out.

Just had a beer,first one was flat no problem changing it, good service

Only dropped into the bar for a couple of drinks before dinner. £21 for two large gin & tonics in a bar that had absolutely nothing in the decor or ambiance that would attract me to return (£14 in the bar up the road).

Good fish and chips with a lovely view of the bay. Can see it's being redecorated to a good taste and standard.

Unfortunately, the Commodore food quality has gone down hill, we had a Sunday afternoon roast lunch, it tasted like it had been made the morning of the day before, very disappointing...

Nice pub great food nice location, staff friendly and welcoming

We all had a great stay, food and service was very satisfactory. A special mention to Karl who was extremely helpful and went that extra mile to ensure our stay was very enjoyable. Would definitely come back to stay.

Great location.stunning views.undergoing a refurb.nothing too much trouble for the staff.lovely food.will be back

Nice place this place is getting refurbished The food was great

Excellent location, great food, Staff very accommodating, can't do enough for you. Hotel under refurb at the moment but what has been done whilst still running hotel, restaurant and bar, a good standard has been accomplished. A few little niggles: Hand rails needed on stairways for people with walking difficulties, faulty shower riser and head. This was in the Galley room, which hopefully be fixed when refurb is complete.

Empty, currently undergoing some work and very expensive drinks. One drink was enough. Staff friendly and attentive.

Katie the waitress was brilliant and food was matched

Their posh fish finger sandwich consisted of fish goujons in a dry baguette. No garnish salad or anything else in it. Would have hated to see their not posh sandwich. Great view from the balcony though.

Booked a family room for 3 when we arrived we was told the rooms for 2 now our booking sheet clearly said for 2 adults 1 child we was told there would only be breakfast for 2 and we would have to pay for the other. Ok that's a strange start i thought then we got to the room a travel bed had just been inserted into the room blocking your walking route in and blocking the bathroom door from opening meaning if you needed the toilet in the night you needed to wake everyone and move the travel bed. as for getting out in case of a fire it was dangerous as the walkaway to the door was also blocked with a over hanging hat stand come wardrobe that was pinned to the wall at about 5.5ft high me being over 6ft and having various back operations i wasn't the type made for a limbo Dancing. tried to talk to the staff a few times could see it was to much trouble so went to the pub up the road and just left early without a breakfast. something really needs sorting as the room is a safety risk for 3 it would be a hard game to get 3 out in case of a fire fixtures and fittings are not the best a shelf in the bathroom was half heatedly repaired with 4 rusty nails and was still hanging off no extractor fan in the bathroom quite noisy outside if its a warm night as we was situated over the beer garden. needless to say we wont return although the owners blame the booking company and the booking company blame the owners its really not fair on the customer full stop.

I went to The Commodore after I was looking for some hearty pub food to eat, and seeing as it was in the top 10 of places to try here I thought I’d give it a go. First impressions when I walked in wasn’t great; there were signs that the pub was undergoing a refurb which was fine, but there was a general feel of uncleanliness throughout despite of this. I still decided to give it a go as most reviews were very favourable, so I ordered a steak and ale pie. It looked nice when it came out and was certainly hot enough, but that unfortunately was the only thing going for it. The pie itself was very hard, and I had a suspicion it might have been reused from lunchtime (I pray at least), the shortcrust pastry felt quite stale and the meat around the sides were hard. The chips were unbearably salty, and the mushy peas were very dry. I left most of the pie, all of the mushy peas, and cut the skin off the chips. I unfortunately hadn’t the time (or now, money) to go anywhere else and to be completely honest, I didn’t feel comfortable in asking for a refund as the staff seemed preoccupied with rushing around, kissing behind the bar or being quite uninterested. To top it off, I found that my tea cup that I had drained wasn’t as clean I thought it was. Extremely disappointed from a place that scored so highly.

Booked a table after seeing what looked like a nice restaurant on the website photos, arrived and it looked nothing like their website, smelt like a public toilet and the restaurant is filthy to the point that we walked straight out. Highly recommend a visit if you love the smell and cleanliness of a toilet whilst you eat.

We stayed for one night in this hotel. Bar and rooms were dated, bed was uncomfortable, and the carpets were dirty. I've graded it as 3 stars as the two members of staff, possibly owners were run off their feet day in day out doing bar service, food and room cleaning. They were still friendly despite this and the breakfast was nice in the morning. The roof in the breakfast area was leaking though which adds to the hotel being run down. Location is great, a short walk to the beach.

Excellent place popped in for lunch. Perfect roast dinner. Always a nice place to visit

We had lunch at The Commodore, and it was excellent. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They were very attentive. The food was fantastic and plentiful. We thought the prices were very reasonable as well. I would recommend this place for food and drink. However, we were not residents, so we can not say what the rooms were like. If they are as good as the rest of the place, then I would definitely stay there.

it is going through a re furb. it is a nice place,reasonably priced, the staff are excellent and helpful, there is also an area outside, to sit ,I have been going there when I am in the area for 50 years,you can get to the promenade, a short walk from there,there is a car park there also.I would recommend it to everyone.

Came for tea as we couldn't find anywhere else we wanted while on holiday, we thought it was going to be general pub grub, but after the food came out (pizza and chicken burger) we were surprised how good the food was! We could see there was refurb going on and didn't effect our tea out. If we're ever around the area again, we'll be back for more!

Went for a drink outside, however it was very tatty. Ventured inside, this was even worse.

Had a meal here and the food is absolutely amazing. Staff were the best, he managed the bar and service for the restaurant brilliantly. Highly recommend this place.

Not many pubs to choose from in Grange-over-Sands, so popped in here. Rather run down, although it seems a refurbished programme is underway. Beer Garden overlooking a car park. Would not rush back here

Nipped in for a quick pint. Great friendly service lots of seats outside and in

Beer was great, Jubilee porter , food was great Having a gradual refurb, but open as usual

Nice pub good beer friendly service TV for sport although some slightly annoying locals but overall will visit again

Like and Zack outstanding service

Nice pub with some lovely views over estuary

First off i have no idea what venue the pictures are from but it certainly isn't the commodore inn, Grange-over-Sands. if they are it was many, many years ago. We booked as 3 family groups to stay here for a wedding in the area. On our arrival we were greeted in a very nice manner (the only plus point, i may add). When shown to our rooms they were tired and cold with a feeling of 1980s B and B. But we over looked this as we wouldn't be in the rooms very long. My wife and i decided to have a shower before going for food, and that is where the problems started. NO hot water, like at all. Told the staff who came and looked at the boiler situated in our room (crews nest) she pressed a few buttons and claimed the heating will work now. Well it didn't waited 20mins turned shower on and still no hot water. I went down again for a second time, this time a maintenance doing work in the bar area came up and also pressed a few buttons and again told it will work.....if didn't. Ice cold water.... i asked the guy why an electric shower needed the boiler looking at? He seemed to have no idea. All rooms that we had, pretty much the entire place had no hot water. Then the excuses came, "it's and old system and if we all use the showers at the same time the hot water will go?????? What do the bar have to do, knock on each room in turn to say you can now use your shower, as the crows nest have finished?? never heard anything so stupid in my 20 years as a heating engineer. we demanded a refund to be told they can't as the manager is away....we rang back 2 days later and still they can't do it as the manager is away.......to ring back again to be told we have to speak to the managers, manager???? How many managers has this hovle got? We cancelled our booking with Expedia in front of the staff, who received a call from them to confirm this....but still no refund for anyone in our party. As the venue are saying we have to contact Expedia for a refund. Complete joke!!! DO NOT STAY HERE, EVER UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SCAMMED.

Great location, staff friendly and very helpful ,food good had a great stay would recommend the commodore inn

Visited Grange-over-sands on Easter Sunday and googled best Sunday lunch in the area. The Commodore Inn was first on the list and it turned out to be the best Sunday lunch I've ever had. Would definitely recommend it!

We came to the commodore on sunday 24th and after a few drinks having travelled over 2 hours we decided to have pizzas. Salty and overdone was the end result.When asked how our meal was we said it was too salty and the staff on duty were apologetic considering how busy it was on the day and having gone back to the kitchen the chef did know that he had put too much salt on them, but still sent them out. We were told that no refunds would be given because it would look bad on the management which I thought was ridiculous. We came in again the following day and it looked closed as the tv was off. Wasn’t very welcoming with the staff member on duty didn’t seem like he wanted to be there. We caught sight of who we believed to be the landlord on his way out and again no interaction or a friendly hello from him. We came 2 years ago and had a fantastic experience. This time not so much with a landlord that doesn't seem bothered. Hopefully with the refurbishment going on it may get better.

Food was really good and price was reasonable.

A delightful pub situated in the most perfect spot with an amazing view. The hostess saskia was very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and presented well

About 4 scraps of chicken in hunters chicken baguette. Not even given cutlery. Avoid

We were staying at The Grange Hotel and decide to visit this pub for tea. We had steak and ale pie & chicken snitzel food was lovely and barmaid Saskia was very friendly and made as welcome. Upon walking in we thought we had made a bad decision coming here as we thought the food would be just bar food. How wrong we were. The food was lovely we had two drinks each at the total bill was £50.25 which we thought was very reasonable. Saskia is a credit to the pub and deserves a pay rise she works very hard. Would definitely recommend this place for food as there portion sizes are large. Thank you Saskia if we are ever up this way again we would definitely come here. We will definitely recommend you to family and friends visiting this area.

Went to tThe Commadore last night during our stay in Grange over Sands .Nice location near promenade..The menu prices have definitely gone up sine the menu was uploaded on Tripadvisor. Fish and chips were £16:95 .Fish was fresh and tasty but potato wedges with skins on very burnt which was ashame as it would have been a lovely meal otherwise

Unbelievably expensive for food and drink.

Just stopped for a drink, short of a good clean

We booked this Inn for 2 nights and it was a last minute booking. Good points were comfy bed and slept well, warm room, great view and very near to the promenade. Staff were great and you do get what you pay for. £150 for 2 nights......other hotels in the area are double this. Not so great points.....parking has to be paid for and is not cheap although free between 6pm and 8am, there is, apparently, free parking in the town but not sure where that is. Breakfast only between 9am and 10am and very limited but reasonable when it came out. Cobwebs in the bathroom and no heating. Water pressure and heat of water negligible, shower has a trickle but is warm. This was supposed to be a deluxe room. The Porthole room is big enough but over the pool room and quite noisy on first night. Smell of weed in corridor was very strong. WiFi......just remember the code starts with a capital which is wrongly documented in the information in the room. The place needs TLC and double glazing but coming out of covid it may not be possible. Trains start early but didn't really bother us.

A nice clean pub with friendly staff for a tasty beer with a view.

Had a lovely stay. Really nice considering how cheap I got the rooms for. Only reason I've dropped a star is due to the poor pub worker who was running around on his own for at least an hour. He was literally doing everything. Despite him quite literally running around, he was very polite and seemed happy to help even though he was probably stressed and exhausted. The management need to do better with shift roaters, or at least give the man some recognition. This happened on February 12th at around 6:30pm.

Really nice place. Dog friendly throughout ground floor. Friendly staff and food really nice. Pool table and juke box to top it off. Would highly recommend.

The porthole don’t stay in. Here tonight not able to have shower as freezing cold, tried between 6.30 and 7.15. Manager great but out of his control. NEVER AGAIN

Just starting to get a bit frayed around the edges. There's still a decent range of beers, well kept, the service is prompt and polite. But it's also tatty and needs some cash investing. The views remain spectacular.

I had the most delightful experience at The Commodore Inn in Grange over Sands. I ordered the ham and mustard baguette and veg soup, and they were absolutely delicious! The friendly staff made me feel right at home and the service was quick and efficient. The classic pub atmosphere added to the charm of my visit. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go back!

Spent 2 nights ..excellent value for money,loveley staff..loveley room ,amazing view over Morecambe bay,friendly locals nice beer

Went here quite a while back, and definitely want to go back! The restaurant upstairs served a stunning Lamb Shank, probably the best lamb I've ever eaten, and what a stunning place it is.

Booked 2 x nights bed and breakfast, but only stayed for one. Room was cold due to the radiator not working. It was eventually sorted when evening staff came in......a bit of a knack to opening the valve apparently. The internal bathroom was pokey with no extractor fan and wallpaper bubbled with chipped basin and skirting boards. On the plus side, the room had a fabulous view of the bay. The food was good....wine very expensive and the staff, Jay and Karl were lovely. Very helpful and polite. Needs updating.

Had to wait to long to be served. Unfortunately we went back there again for a meal. Paid £17 for a meal. 6 chips small portion of pie and a spoonful of mushy peas. Disgraceful. Won't be going back. Oh and heard some shout from the kitchen, "can't get the microwave to work"

It is reasonably priced but lacks consistency, we were there in late October for drinks and that was good then we went there early December and was greeted by a foul smell at the door...

We booked for evening meal between Christmas and New year. The Web site has a "mission statement " it states their aim is to give you " the best Steak & Ale pie you've ever eaten " It was dire! Obviously been under a warming light or on a hot plate for a long time if not all day. It was dry, concrete like and inedible. The bar maid was very understanding and returned the meal to the kitchen. No more was available so ended up with a pizza which was average to say the least.

Lovely Christmas meal with my family. Very accommodating of my crazy 4 year old running around. Made him pasta and garlic bread as he wouldn't eat a Christmas meal. Food was lovely, staff were amazing and a great view for while we ate

Took a booking for 14 people for food with an hours notice. All meals were delicious and hot.

Commodore Inn Stay I stayed overnight with a friend. The Inn is lovely, and the staff are fantastic and go above and beyond. We had the roast dinner, which was really delicious and full filling. My friend had the turkey, and I had the beetroot Wellington. Both option options were tasty. The room was lovey with a huge window with a great view. Breakfast was special and plentiful. I would recommend the Commodore Inn

Stayed at The Commodore for 1 night with the expectation of an evening meal. The room was available immediately, which was unusual. We booked it for the view, which was not disappointing, however the amount of flies in the window was. The sink was cracked in the bathroom, the tap was swinging, the shower curtain was filthy and the light in the hallway entrance wasn’t working. The bed was cheap and you could feel the insides in your back. The paperwork said there was hot chocolate from the local chocolatier, fair trade wasn’t the local chocolatier. My partner had to swat all the flies in the window and clean everything before we could settle down. We went down for an evening meal which was appalling. I didn’t think places like this existed anymore. The guy sat at the table who was watching everything who kept running up and down the stairs? I presume was the manager. Can’t you see what is wrong with the place. Unfortunately it’s a stunning location with so much potential.

Further to comments made by Eric D re our recent stay. We spent 4 nights in the Crow's Nest comprising a single and a double bedroom and a bathroom. Strangely, there was no door to the double room. We came to an arrangement where I made myself scarce whilst Eric and his wife showered etc and vice versa. Fortunately, we're good friends! Frustratingly, we couldn't access the internet in our rooms and had to go down to the bar to get any sort of internet connection. Cleaning the skylight in the hallway occasionally wouldn't go amiss either. Whilst we appreciated that the Crow's Nest wasn't expensive and that some issues couldn't be resolved immediately, we still expected the problems that could be solved (shower curtain and light bulb) would be during our stay.

Stayed at the Commodore for 4 nights, DBB, the bar was welcoming, staff very helpful, hotel clean. Food and drink very good, albeit dinner was a good plateful, and as we're getting on a bit, did prove too much at times, but reasonable quality. Now for the accommodation, unfortunately not as good as expected, whilst a very good price for B&B, the room had some problems. Firstly it should be said that the staff were informed of these faults, who promised to inform "management". Light in the hall way, needed an new bulb, shower curtain needed replacing, been too long in water becoming discoloured. Cold tap very wobbly, needed tightening before something worse happens. Toilet seat needs fixing. During our first night, lots of banging, which I eventually found to be a loose upper sash window, stopped the banging with beer mats, but that made a gap between the to sash sections, talk about drafty and cold, and let the flies in! Tried to stop the draft with a towel, see picture. After our first night we were out for the day, returned to find that our room was not serviced. Response from staff was to the effect that we had not left out the "clean my room sign" problem was, we didn't have one, once we got one no problems. A bit of TLC would be helpful, the room was clean though, and the bed comfortable.

The Comodore Inn requires a complete refurbishment tables and chairs have all seen better days. Decoration is old and cold. Food is overpriced and a very limited menu. If you are desperate for food it will tick the box. However plenty better places. OK for a pub poor for food.

Lovely food and lovely staff, so friendly and accommodating. Food came fast and was piping hot! The portion sizes were huge too

We go to the commodore regularly but won't be going again for a while. Went last weekend and if you like Flies with your food your in luck cos there's hundreds of them. Disgusting. A few years ago they had the same problem and had to get a firm in to get rid of them. Come on Commodore get your act together.

Visited last time in between lockdown, came back so was worth a second visit, they managed to fit us all in (group of 12), food and service was a good, they were very busty as it was the bank holiday

Disappointing. Unfortunately the place needs a good clean. The table was so sticky my arm stuck to it. I had sausage, mash, peas, gravy. It was tasty and hot, sausages were peppery but very tasty. Comfort food. It’s just a shame that the lack of cleanliness overshadowed the quality of the food. Staff seemed very busy.

We had lunch a few weeks ago as we had seen a Facebook add. It took over an hour and a half for one pie of the day and one scampi and chips, it looked lovely when it arrived but the scampi was still frozen in the middle and pie was stone cold. We told the lady on the bar who said that she would send the chef down. I think the chefs name was John or Jowe, when we told him the issues with the food he made a sarcastic comment, saying “people pay extra for cold food”. ( I know he was joking but I found it rude and patronising.)

She eventually put her phone down to serve drinks but then sneezed all over the glasses so decided not to order any more drinks. The Commodore is such a lovely location with brilliant views. Its a shame that the staff and food and cleanliness was such a bad standard. After this occasion, we will definitely not be returning. And would not recommend anybody. I sincerely hope the owners will see this review and take action especially on the hygiene and cleanliness comments.

Had a great time at The Commadore! The staff were very friendly. Rooms clean & tidy. No complaints. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, the Steak Pie is to die for.
