Fantastic venue for a wedding ! Great service by all
Staff on the hottest day of the year.

Drinks expensive but always are at hotels ... rooms were modern and comfy bed but so hot, no aircon or fans.

Breakfast was plentiful and fresh well worth partaking. The spa looked fantastic and infinity pool but had to work so unable to take full advantage.

We went here for our 30th wedding anniversary and we enjoyed the hotel and spa we had the set meal room deal and the food was very good the staff were very friendly and the room was clean bed very comfortable what you would expect the only down side for me was the lack of choice at the bar I would like to see some artisan ales it was very fun of the mill this could be better

Booked a romantic night away with my partner, we didn’t know too much about this place so it was a lovely surprise when we arrived. The staff couldn’t do enough to help and the room was spacious and comfortable.

We enjoyed the spa, though I’d echo other comments regarding the infinity pool facing out on to the car park and building site, but we still loved it!

My spa treatment was allocated from 5-5:30 and my partner from 5:30-6, meaning that I had half an hour to enjoy the relaxation room, though when my partner joined me we were ushered out as it was closing - the music was turned off and the relaxing atmosphere finished bang on time, which was a little disappointing.

Dinner, bar service and breakfast was AMAZING, the food and service was incredible. I loved the Lamb Kofta and the honey glazed ‘Porkies’ - highly recommended, as was the Eggs Royale for breakfast.

We were brought back into the real world with a bang on the Tuesday morning due to another diner making a bit of an embarrassment of himself - allow me to explain. Breakfast is charged at £15.95, for this you get unlimited tea, coffee & juice, unlimited trips to the continental breakfast buffet, and then a choice of either ‘create your own’ cooked breakfast or a selection of chefs specials (eggs benedict, royale etc). The gentleman behind us was being particularly rude to the staff because he wanted to order multiple breakfasts for himself, and couldn’t understand why this wasn’t allowed. A simple lack of common sense but it did spoil our experience somewhat. Thankfully the team stood their ground, though we did have to put up with his whining for an extended period of time which was a shame.

On the whole, a fabulous night away and we’ll definitely be returning. Top marks to the Last Drop!

We booked this as a much-needed escape from work, and we couldn't have had a better time. The room was perfect, the setting idyllic, the spa and treatments were a delight and the food was delicious, what more is there to say!

If I had to pick fault (which is difficult!) I'd say the placement of the outdoor spa pool is interesting as it looks out across the car park and a housing development, but they can hardly rotate the building can they. Minor, minor point - we still loved it.

Breakfast was delicious but the atmosphere was sadly marred by the below reviewer (jvae59) who was being extremely loud and rude to the waiting staff and manager, demanding two or three breakfasts for one price. I guess what he lacked in manners he made up for in greed. He pointed out that the menu didn't use the word "OR" between each option. The menu didn't say "don't stand on the tables" either but some of us employ common sense in these situations. Not the venue's fault at all though, we found breakfast delicious and plentiful.

We've already decided that this is our new secret retreat, and we're planning to return later in the year to re-live the experience, and relieve the stresses of day to day life :-)

This is a amazing hotel with lovely grounds but I would say the shops ‘in the village’ are a bit expensive. £4 for a milkshake but they got our order wrong. The setting and food were amazing would reccomend and come again.

Just stayed at the hotel with my mum for a spa night. The whole hotel needs a refurb, quite grubby and unclean in parts. Bits all over the carpet near the rooms, the oldest stiffest shower going and all needs updating. The bar was dated and the seating area was tatty, however a good selection of wine. Breakfast was very good 👍🏻

Perched on the fringe of the North Pennine Moors, the Last Drop Village is an interesting place to stay. Once a collection of 17th century farm buildings, it was turned into a unique hotel in the late 1960s. The old stone buildings form a cobbled street of cottages and shops (bakery, chocolatier, bridal boutique etc.) complete with a village square outside the village pub. All very quaint. It’s a bit like Portmerion but on a smaller scale and less Italian.

Like most hotels that are built in and around historic buildings there are modern add-ons. In the case of the Last Drop these include a spa (nice pool, thermal suite) and conference centre. I imagine they have a lot of weddings and conferences here. The modern bits are not exactly sympathetic in architectural style with the older buildings, but then that’s modern day planners for you.

We stayed here on the way up to the Lake District so we shared a family room (with the dog). The room was in one of the newer bits. It was clean, spacious and comfortable although it lacked anything in the way of character. Functional, that’s the word. My wife took an irrational dislike to the large picture of a swan on the wall - no idea why.

The restaurant is housed in the main part of the hotel. I assume these were barns of some sort back in the day. It still has that barn-like feel. The food is good and the staff were excellent but the choice of beer from the bar is poor if you don’t drink lager. If you do then you’re in your element - there’s quite a choice of tasteless gassy alcohol for you to pick from. For the connoisseurs amongst us there’s ‘bitter’. I’ve tasted worse, but that’s about all I can say.

In common with hotels all over the country you can get a room here for a reasonable price (our family room cost £139 for us plus £20 for the dog), but that is room only. Add in breakfast (£12.50 a head for a help yourself buffet type affair, OK but I’ve had better) and dinner at the usual inflated hotel prices and suddenly it’s all a little less reasonable.

As I said, interesting place

We had a lovely night. Everyone was so friendly and kind. John and Iam especially in the clubhouse. The lady from the restaurant equally helpful. We would definitely recommend. Lovely friendly hotel and great food. Would definitely come back.

Arrived for a two night with elderly mum & pooch. It was a no fuss check in and were pleased with the room location in the courtyard. Doggy bed and bowl provided for Poppi.
Everything and everyone we met both staff and guests were friendly. A big thank you to Julie working in the restaurant/bar. Julie looked after us so well and nothing was too much trouble.
A stroll around the grounds which are kept immaculately tidy and a look around the shops was a treat too.
I would highly recommend this hotel & spa for a relaxing break.

Great hotel

Excellent room and beautifully presented accommodation. Thank you

Very friendly staff. Room service excellent.

Bit overpriced, the beds are too high, the bathrooms are a bit dated, the sinks have taps on them and not the turn and lift tap, they have disabled changing rooms in the spa, but you have to ask for them to use a hoist to use the pool, they don't have disabled access rooms, the staff are lovely, helpful and friendly, even Gerry McGee is a nice bloke who's happy to have a chat, they've got disabled parking spaces, but as most places you go to, not every car has a blue badge, the restaurant and bar food aren't cheap and there are stairs everywhere, the bathroom bath was small where it had a shower inside,

My husband, my 12 year old son and I traveled up to Bolton from Guildford for him to race in Ironman UK last weekend. It was lovely to arrive and learn that The Last Drop had decided to put on a special 3am breakfast for all athletes and their family’s and then to stay open late that evening for all race finishers to have a well deserved late evening post race meal. The hotel was lovely, comfortable room, great food and a relaxing pool/spa. But I can’t forget the amazing staff that made our weekend and this special event so memorable! Nothing was too much trouble and they couldn’t of been more helpful. A special thanks to the lovely Italian gentleman from the restaurant who helped me with maps and direction and to John and Ian from the bar who couldn’t have been more attentive. If we were to return to the area again we would 100% choose the last drop hotel.

My mother in law organised a special 40th birthday treat for my husband and I on Saturday 6th July.
When we arrived we were told by a very unfriendly receptionist that we had to pay for out stay there and then. I tried to explain to him that my mother in law had taken care of the payment before we arrived as this was supposed to be a surprise for my husbands 40th but he didn't care to listen, and said they couldn't take money off my mother in laws card unless she was there in person. I reluctantly paid for the stay on my card as I didn't want to cause a fuss and ruin my husbands trip. When we returned home and I explained to my mother in law what had happened she was so upset that her gift had not only been spoilt by us having to pay for her treat but that we had been charged more than the original price she had agreed.
The day before we arrived I phoned the hotel to ask what could be organised to make my husbands birthday extra special. I decided on a bottle of the more expensive champagnes they have to offer. When my husband and I returned to our room from the spa later that day we were rather deflated to see the Luke warm 'house's champagne' that had been left in our room instead of the Laurent-perrier I had paid for. When my husband queried this with reception he was told they had none in stock even though I had pre ordered it the day before.
My husband and I have stayed in hotels all over the world and agree that the little touches are what make a guest stay memorable. On this occasion our memories will be of disappointment.

We were here about 40 years ago and wanted to return to see what they had done and were pleasantly surprised. The breakfasts and dinners were top notch. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and Lucy T the waitress was first class at her job and made us feel very special at dinner (ask her about the olives we got for a nibble starter). The spa and pool were excellent especially the infinity outside hot pool. Only a few shops which seem to specialist for wedding presents/gowns/hair dressing, but a charming village. Not the cheapest place to eat or drink but for a special break you can't go wrong. The grounds are brilliant. Only fault we could find was all the bed duvets were 10.5 tog even during the summer, so ask for sheets instead. Information bookish the rooms would also help.

Travelled up to watch a friend compete in the iron man. Had a quick swim this morning to freshen up. Facilities are brill, think it was 18m the main pool. The heated pool & steam room eased the long drive. The young receptionist didn’t take my hussle pass looked busy with her phone. Will have to come stay soon as my friend has said the hotel is also very good, looking forward to seeing you soon!

We stayed here after a function in one of the rooms. We were in room 20, on the balcony around the courtyard.
The room was fine. Beds were comfortable and bathroom very nicely fitted about with an awesome shower. The only problem was the heat....it had been a hot day and the windows are old and with only small openings. Far, far too hot. These rooms either need air conditioning or at least fans.
Breakfast was nice but not worth the extra £12....unless you can eat a LOT!
The pool is nice. The spa section is ok....lovely idea to have the pool open air but it currently overlooks the car park and building works, and, when busy, can be like being in a bath with 30 strangers!

Thank you for a wonderful weekend retirement party and treat. Great rooms, wonderful food and excellent atmosphere at our Friday night party. This was followed, after a leisurely breakfast, with a superb visit to the spa (thank you Sophie for your lovely welcome) and a treatment. All topped off with a delicious afternoon tea. Highly recommended by all our group. Many thanks to the staff for looking after us so well.

Really pleasant and set in lovely surroundings and very friendly service from staff. A real feel of the countryside in a quintessentially English hotel.
The rooms were clean and modern with free WiFi which was to a good standard. The room got very hot at night and could have done with ideally air conditioning, or at least a fan.
The spa was excellent. A large pool at a good temperature and a separate thermal suite which is joined to the pool by a door, but which is designated for adults only to allow some peace and quite. There are 5 different thermal rooms including 2 saunas at different temperatures, a steam room, laconium and aromatherapy room, as well as a gentle jacuzzi set half indoors and half outdoors with room and depth to swim.
The bar and restaurant were of an ‘Old English’ style. Pleasant surroundings but both were very expensive. The restaurant was nice, but overpriced. Food was to a reasonable standard but nothing special.
They seem to provide function services, as does another nearby venue and as such it was a little noisy on a couple of occasions during our stay, with some music at the nearby venue until late (window open because no fan in the room).
There is a nice area adjacent to the hotel with a tea shop, traditional pub and a couple of shops selling chocolate and cupcakes.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
All in all a really nice stay.

I was served by a young lad called Harry. Extremely polite and helpful. I will definitely be coming here again after such great service. Thank you for such a great time and simply the atmosphere and I am amazed!!!

I was served by a young man named Harry and he was quite pleasant and polite he made the experience even better the night was spent with some of my close friends and the service had helped us become closer

Hard to categorise this rather sweet hotel. It's a cross between a country club and a motel. The staff are super, really kind & helpful. The (courtyard) rooms are clean, quite small & have the usual amenities. Breakfasts are terrific, but with one important exception. THE SCRAMBLED EGGS ARE NOT REAL: they're from "liquid eggs" bought in every morning. Otherwise, it's a lovely breakfast. Would go back.

A warm welcome by friendly staff in a great venue. Lovely atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone needing a large space.

I atteneded the Bolton Business Show as an exhibitor. The venue was fantastic great facilities would highly recommend.
