"First of all, my one positive thing to say about this restaurant is that the two waitresses were beyond lovely and very accommodating so this review does not fault their service. However, we came to the Dovedale hotel to celebrate my parents silver wedding anniversary as we have been before and the food has been to die for and the atmosphere has been great. Since we’ve been in the past, the restaurant has closed and reopened again, with none of its former chefs. This has meant the food went from being impeccable to being essentially frozen tasteless mush. The starters we ordered were boring, tasteless and obviously came from a cheap supermarket and were shoved onto a plate. The mackerel pate was just mackerel and mayonnaise in a pot and the “cheesy garlic bread” was 3 slices of frozen garlic bread with a slice of cheese on top, and this cost £5. Hoping our experience would improve, we ordered for our mains; scampi that was so dry and shrivelled up that it was pretty much just batter, overcooked peas (yes, even the peas weren’t cooked right), dry unseasoned chicken, overcooked salmon that resembled rubber, beef medallions that were not as described at all, they were 4 pieces of stewing steak in an ominous sauce, fish and chips that were obviously just frozen goujons, which was the biggest disappointment of the night because the location of the restaurant is home to some of the best fish in the UK. After this disaster of a meal we ended up sending 5/9 meals back and asked for the chef/manager, who was extremely rude and unhelpful, and when we listed our problems, he simply shrugged and said the “beef medallions” that were hard as rocks were actually beef fillet tails and offered no apology or solution to our other issues, and it was actually the waiting staff that were extremely apologetic and embarrassed and gave us some money back. We then waited for our desserts to see if this could redeem a diabolical meal, and were met with a tiny slice of frozen cheesecake that you may buy in Morrisons for about £2, and cake that was dry and cheap. Aside from the dismal food, the atmosphere was dead, nobody was in the restaurant as they probably got the memo, but unfortunately for us we didn’t. The decorations made the place look like an old junk shop with everything from Asian lanterns, African giraffe woodwork and sail boats cluttered around, with price tags hanging off everything, no doubt trying to squeeze a profit out of anything they could. Utterly disgusting and I suggest the management double the waitresses pay for what they have to deal with, will never be coming back and you’ve lost a loyal customer."

The coffee was terrible and extremely strong. The brown bread was sliced and pale. The menu had unclear pricing.

Went for afternoon tea on the plus side the tea/coffee is plentiful and the sandwiches were good. Other than that everything is shop bought... Expected better than that, scones were very cheap shop ones, cakes were OK, pork pie and flan again OK but tasted cheap. Overall nothing wrong with it but not memorable and could have made it at home buying from local shops. Next time will go somewhere which makes its own cakes, scones etc

The Dovedale was recommended to us by a friend, so we paid a visit while in Cleethorpes on an overnight stay at a nearby hotel. The meal was fantastic! We had the seafood risotto to start and it was cooked to perfection. Followed by steak for me and my husband chose the duck, both delicious and so well cooked. The staff were all very friendly and very proffesional and it was a lovely relaxing atmosphere.We won't hesitate to go back again.

Having visited this area before we had spotted this hotel. We’d previously popped in for coffee and thought how nice the hotel looked. We love the idea that items are for sale. When we got the chance to stay we couldn’t wait. Disappointed. Our room was dated and tired. They appeared to only have minimum staffing. There was a matriarch sat by the bar, who didn’t appear to be doing much, but who was obviously something to do with the hotel. The hotel was spotless, and in a good location. What a shame.

Sorry about the corny title. Last time I visited this hotel I wrote about a lady called Kate. This time its Katie. This lovely lady was a credit to the hotel doing several jobs always with a smile. With a welcoming smile she got our brief stay off to a wonderful start even arranging a parking spot in a very tight area. She took my wife a coffee while I had a drink in the bar. Where do you get these wonderful staff!!! They are a credit to the hotel industry. Well done to them all. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again soon.

I went to Dovedale for dinner with my friend and her daughter. The waitress/receptionist was friendly and accommodating. However, the meal was a disappointment. I ordered fillet of beef in creamy mushroom sauce with rice and vegetables, but it was bland and tasteless, with microwaved rice and vegetables. I later found out they no longer have a chef, which explains the lack of quality in the food. The manager, who is also the cook, lacks both customer service skills and cooking abilities. The prices are high for subpar fried and frozen food. I will not be returning or recommending this place. It's a shame, as it used to be a nice place to dine in the past.
