The Cotton Tree in Cheshire East

Cosy pub serving a range of ale and ciders (including bass bitter) cash preferred. Interesting chatty locals. Recommended 🍻

The most packed pub iv seen in a long time everyone enjoying themselves and the food smells absolutely incredible

I really have no recollection of visiting this pub, but I've not had any bad experiences at pubs lately. So I'm giving 5 🌟 across the board. Well done keep it up.

Great pint of pale ale, really quirky pub

Like going back in time. What a lovely pub. No tvs no fruit machines, just great real served by a nice landlady. Amazing selection of ciders if that’s your thing. If I lived in bollington, this would be my local.

Brilliant little pub....lots of choice of shorts and they even sell sweets in a jar !!! Rachel behind the bar was lovely.

Worth a walk. A clean ecelectoc decorated proper pub. Dog welcomed and with biscuits. A centre of this community with so many talkative folk. Everyone seems to know everyone and care. Good share books, dvds and food scheme. Cracking range of beers and ciders. Superb

I went here for personal cotton farming for my son John. Not happy to find out that it is all fake. No tree. No cotton. Cotton picking gone wrong

Alright do basically I want to look at the cotton tree until I found out it was not made out of cotton so I'm disappointed Food was delicious but 6 pounds for a ham and cheese toasty

Cosy little pub. Looked like a locals only pub. We didn't feel unwelcome, but it was far from welcoming

6 cask ales. It's a pub that you must visit. Maybe you are after alcohol free. Well there is a temperance menu. Tea no problem. Dogs are welcome. What a great pub.

Reasonable priced, lots of choices of beer, especially ciders

Great place, great food, friendly staff

If you want a really decent pint & a proper pie, then this is your pub. Great small local traditional village pub, just like they use to be. 👍🏻

A charming traditional pub that makes a nod towards the railways, with signage from nearby stations and railways of old. They have a real fire, live folk music and a sweet/ tuck shop. Definitely worth a visit. *Update. The pub only accepts cash. They accepted card payments during Covid because they had to, but have now reverted to cash only. Make a mental note, as I forgot and the nearest cash machine is outside the Co-op

As you can see there’s not one bad review for this place. The food is excellent along with the service and the prices are fairly reasonable.

Fantastic old pub selling assorted of sweets bits and bobs plus great real ales its our local now 😋 😀

Good selection of cask ales. Friendly staff. If you enjoy a good pint give the tree a visit I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

A proper backstreet pub, lots of different real ales on, bass is exceptional!! Many, many ciders! Try a cider tapas board! Great idea! Pies on sale which are good, always busy, lovely but small beer garden out back, whats not to like?

Called in with friends at opening time after a walk in the surrounding area. Friendly welcoming pub, good selection of ales and malt whisky. Bought a bag of crisps to try the food!! Very evident that the Cotton Tree was very popular even mid afternoon on a Thursday and I am not surprised. If traditional is your bag than give this place a try.

Gorgeous little beer 🍺 garden out the back. Amazing cider menu.... its huge! Great place xxx

Unique in as much there's no music or slot machines. Very popular in the evenings despite is small in floor space. The landlady Jane runs a tight ship. Frequently occupied by many regulars, many friendly characters Food is limited to cold pies or crisps. Once a month, the pub hosts a Bluegrass band that plays novel often amusing music American style. It's probably the best pub in Bollington that attracts a certain clientèle. Highly recommended.

A drinks only pub, full of character and full of characters. Perfect Timmy Taylor’s Landlord, a list of scrumpy as long as your arm! An absolute gem of a watering hole, with a beautiful little garden.

Draught Bass... That's a I really need to say! Jane keeps the ale wonderfully and also an excellent range of alc-free if some one need to drive.

Best pub in the world Real beers Real people

Visited on the strength of a review saying the pub was quirky! They were not wrong and we loved it! Loads of railway memorabilia inside but we sat outside in the compact beer garden, what a suntrap l! Had a lovely couple of hours in the afternoon chatting with some locals, defo worth calling in!

Lots of greenfly knocking about in here. In January. Have to protect your pint.

Lovely pub. Great range of no alcohol / low alcohol drinks for hubby (driving). Wish we lived nearer - this would be our local for sure.

Great local pub with good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Friendly staff offering a warm welcome. Best in Bollington

A very traditional but small well run pub serving well kept beers. Well worth a visit.

We stayed at shrigley hall so decided to take a walk into Bollington as it was only around a 30 minute walk,after having a good walk around for an hour or so we decided to have a drink so we called into the cotton tree pub,upon walking in we was quite surprised how quirky and welcoming the place was,we got chatting to the locals in there and they made us feel so relaxed that we ended up having several drinks in there before heading back to shrigley hall. Would also like to give a mention to Jane the owner who was serving behind the bar and also made us feel very welcome in her pub. I would definitely recommend paying a visit to this lovely pub where you will be welcomed with the warm hospitality you would expect from a place like this,we will definitely return one day,love the place 😊 sorry no pictures as was getting drunk 😀 but plenty online.

Proper pub, good service and good snacks log burner will be lit soon!

A fantastic quirky, interesting and welcoming traditional wet pub. Family run supportive of the local community. There are locals at the bar, walkers who are passing and dogs (accompanied by owners) who receive biscuit treats. The interior changes with the seasons and outside is a hidden gem of a mill town garden. Ale drinkers appear happy, a splendid selection of scumpy cider and all the other alcoholic and non alcoholic options you could want. Even traditional jars of sweets on the shelves for you to select. In or around bollington....well worth a visit.

very reasonable prices, lovely and clean , friendly staff and the toilets are pristene

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere, people and beer!

What a beautiful pub in Bollington. Great character, absolutely spotless, cleanest toilets I was ever in , individual linen towels even in the gents, brilliant staff. Was over from Ireland at a funeral. Highly recommend.

A proper friendly pub, A soperb lovely clear pint of DraughtbBass

Always a friendly place to catch up for a drink. The pub is well placed next to the village bus terminal so transport is no problem & the place itself has a fine selection of beers, wines & 'top shelf' for the more discerning. Cosy atmosphere & well maintained with friendly experienced staff, make The Cotton Tree a joy to frequent.

Good time with friends. Friendly staff, and well run.

Going into The Cotton Tree is like having a warm blanket wrapped around you, cosy, welcoming, friendly and lovely landlady and staff, we just love it!

Fab and warm welcome Spotlessly cleaned Great beer

Absolutely brilliant pub. Went in pre covid and had no cash and it was cash only. A local offered me "a borrow" total stranger!

Popped in for a quick visit had a wine n a coffee. Lovely pub. Spotlessly clean. Sad they didn't do any food. But landlady was lovely 😍

Interesting friendly tradional tavern!

We popped in for a few beers one night whilst staying in the area on business. Pleasant enough pub mainly frequented by local residents. Lovely little seating area out the back

The best outdoor pub that I've experienced. Brilliantly done

Great outdoor space under cover and covid friendly

Still a great visit despite the restrictions

Good service beer and company Well worth a visit

Brilliant pub, and the set up to allow table service rule to work is a genius idea...if you don't like this pub you don't like pubs

What a lovely pub. Great system in place for a covid safe drink. Friendly staff and locals and a great choice of drinks.

Great pub, friendly and well worth a visit. Beer in good condition. Recommended.

Just a great little pub, with with old fashioned values and a great pint of Bass.

warm, friendly - great draught beer and ciders. Proper local, if you are visiting Bollington well worth an evenings visit

Really nice beer, and lovely atmosphere in this railway-themed local.

Lots of character and well kept beer

Lovely, friendly, family run pub. How ever pub should be.

Great old fashioned pub with a good selection of beers!

Went in on New Years with a few friends for a drink and found it to be a cosy and welcoming environment. Decent ales and friendly staff. Will have to go again!

Brilliant. Lovely friendly staff and customers, super atmosphere. We were even entertained by an excellent bluegrass band, Aprille and the Shower. We will return

As always a lovely pint of Guinness, great atmosphere and cosy fire

Outstanding boozer.. After coming through floods and devastation is back to the wonderful place it always was... The landlady and her daughters make it such a warm and welcoming place..

Really friendly staff, good old fashioned pub. Cash only, no food, no juke box or tv. Excellent real ales

Called into this pub twice during a weekend stay in the area. Its a proper pub not like the usual big chains. Very welcoming, nicely furnished. If you like real ales then this is the place to be.Plus its dog friendly too.

Welcomed with big smiles, great choice of wet sales, friendly staff and engaging locals walk in as a stranger leave as good friends. Great pub & very clean ..... good cider selection too 😉

Always at least three real ales (usually four), a friendly pub. Often has live music, & other events, & dog friendly. BE WARNED however, its cash only. A great pub.

Great old pub good ales,lovely beer garden at the rear,cash only no cards go meet the locals well worth a visit

YTraThe last of the old pubs good beer selection lots of old pictures of the past,,if anyone into trains and bollington canals you'd love it

Best pub in Bollington by a mile.

A good old fashioned pub with good beer .

The cotton tree is a nice little village pub, although the landlady could be a little more enthusiastic and smile now and then. Apart from that locals seem friendly enough and it's not a bad pint. Worth a quick one if your passing

Lovely cosy pub with great ales and good choice of drinks

Warm . Cosy. Great staff friendly and welcoming. A real pub.

Called in here while staying locally. Made to feel welcome by regulars, good conversation, good beer well served by thoughtful landlady.

Visiting from Glasgow to stay with friends in Bollington. No visit is complete without calling into The Cotton Tree. A lovely wee traditional pub where a warm welcome awaits, and extremely well priced wine too.

Great old fashioned pub. Lovely draft beers all kept well and you can even get a prosecco, marvellous.

Cash only. Occasional Irish musicians playing softly in the snug. Interesting and chatty locals. Homemade honey. Bands on some nights. Interesting nooks and crannies with strange pictures and stuff. A proper pub.

Great atmosphere and lovely selection of find.

Cosy and welcoming - mainly wet-led pub. Frequent bands. Great beer. Right by the bus terminus

Good local pub, cash only, good live band on a Friday night.

Only ever been there once for a drink last. Year

Nice friendly, cosy real ale pub with many original features & friendly staff.

Lovely old fashioned place. Couple of fires lots of book and games available and the food was fabulous.

Great atmosphere, excellent choice of beers, wines and spirits. Live music nights particularly good. Roaring fire in winter and lovely little beer garden in summer. A Bollington gem!

Always get a warm welcome from landlady and staff, she also keeps excellent beer.

A warm and friendly atmosphere with superb beers kept excellently.

The warm welcome from the hosts always makes you feel to return another day!! A great selection of hand pulled ales, cider, wine and spirits. There's great home cooked food each weekday evening which you can takeaway or eat in! There's also frequent live music, as well as other regular functions, such as beer festivals, commemorative themed days & much more. I highly recommended you pop in and give it a try!! Be warned though, as a proper old fashioned pub, it's cash only!
