The Tamworth Hotel

Very disappointing. Stayed with friends over the weekend. Staff were dismissive. Felt like we were imposing. Paid $140 per night for a tiny room, single bed, no ensuite, no service or bed reset. Will not return.

This old hotel is opposite the railWay station. Wide choice of pub food. Lovely old hotel. Outdoor area with separate bar which would be great during summer. The acoustics in the dining room made it very noisy. The front bar looked very inviting.

Went here for dinner tonight, what an overpriced disappointment. I ordered the salmon, there was none (and hasn't been/won't be available for a while) so I ordered the lamb shanks and my partner had the scotch fillet (medium). The $44 scotch fillet looked and tasted like an overcooked piece of topside. The lamb shanks were nice but they weren't "shanks" it was ONE shank. I'm not sure how long this apparent "typo" has been on your menu but if you're not aware already it's actually ILLEGAL to give false or misleading information. I was left so hungry that I started eating the complimentary bar snacks - which is a really nice idea, especially as the meals you pay for are so small. The only thing wonderful about this place was the lovely lady Emily who took our order. She has great energy, very friendly and accommodating. I feel sorry for her having to constantly explain to customers that meals on the menu are either unavailable or not as described. I read another review saying the Tamworth Hotel were advertising $1 oysters on their website and on a sign out the front of their hotel, but were told, once inside, that there were no oysters. The owners response was sorry, due to public holiday the oysters weren't fresh, I'm sure you don't want week old oysters........ What a pathetic response, seriously. It's YOUR responsibility to check your advertising is CORRECT and UP TO DATE. It takes 2 seconds to write "N/A" on the sign advertising the oysters, or put an update your Facebook page or website - given they were a "week old" it sounds life to had plenty of time to warn customers and update your advertising. Yet another example of false and misleading advertising.
