Very pleased that our local Village Hotel and bestofbury member was chosen for our regional meeting yesterday. As always the staff were very helpful, especially Alison today who looked after our function. Refreshments were readily available and the room was perfect for our requirements. Lunch was good and it was great to have the coffee machine on hand too.

Lovely cosy room and break out space. Great coffee and the staff were very friendly at reception.

Nice surroundings and a clean modern building. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Also very easy access from the motorway.

A great venue for a meeting. The service was great. We were looked after very well.

Great venue for events. The customer service is second to none. The staff are very attentive and I would recommend to other businesses to use here.

This was my first time staying at this hotel and it was a very comfortable stay.Staff were always friendly and helpful.The rooms were large and beds were very comfortable.Breakfast was very good and always plentyful. Overall it was a very relaxing stay and we hope to return soon

Stayed one night for a family wedding, The room was nice, bed comfy with good pillows,
The room we had was number 118 it was very noisy because next door was for an air con unit or something that sounded similar, just a loud constant hum. We didn't have time to change as the room wasn't ready till after 3 and we had to get ready for he wedding.
The spar and pool looked very good but busy.
Again the breakfast was ok food bland,
Over all ok

We booked at the Village Hotel in Bury for Friday and Saturday night.
We checked in and found in the room that there was no hotel information pack. Not even a number on which to reach reception. There was no information about anything including the wi fi password.
There was also no local information whatsoever.
We had upgraded to an ‘Upperdeck Room’ which is basically a standard bedroom with nicer pillows and a nicer duvet, Sky movies and Starbucks coffee/hot chocolate.
Having read beforehand about the Leisure Club (it clearly said no children in the pool after 5pm) we headed for the pool at around ten past five and found it full of youngsters having swimming lessons. The lady on reception at the club suggested it was rather too busy for us to use! We used the gym instead, which was perfectly adequate.
The water pressure in the shower in the bedroom was appallingly low.
We ate in the Italian restaurant in the hotel on the first night and although it was ok, it was fairly generic and standard Italian food. Nothing spectacular. The wine was very over priced at £22.00 for a bottle of Shiraz.
We had to phone reception twice to complain about the noise of the music coming (we think) from the bar area. The first time we were told it would be stopping in about 10 minutes. When I phoned half an hour later to complain about the same noise, the guy on reception clearly didn’t believe me and insisted that he was coming up to our room to listen for himself. He never arrived……….
In the morning, we had ordered a newspaper, only a fifth of it arrived with no supplements or magazines. On mentioning this to reception I was told it was not their fault that was what came from the newsagent. However, I was not charged for it.
I also checked that we were not going to be subjected to any noise that evening and was told there was an ‘event’ on but at the back of the hotel and that we shouldn’t be disturbed by music. We weren’t. Instead we were disturbed by noisy drunk guests returning back to their rooms from 1am until around 3am.
The walls/ceilings/floor in this hotel are paper thin and you can literally hear everything going on in adjoining rooms.
The cooked breakfast on both days was perfectly adequate.
I don’t think we will be returning to the Village Hotel group, if the hotel at Bury is the standard of the chain.
I would rather spend my hard earned money elsewhere.

Such a treat; gorgeous room, very large as was for a disabled person , very clean with a comfortable bed & spare pillows . Large TV, tea/ coffee etc. The whole hotel was clean, well kept, nicely furnished & very very busy. The Vinny & Vito restaurant was also very good when I went early evening.
The pool is lovely, again well kept & open from 6.30 til 10 with 2 jacuzzis, steam room & sauna.
This hotel outlived my expectations & I really can't wait to return.

I like this hotel.

Good points:
- the rooms are large and comfortable
- the bar food is excellent
- the gym and pool are excellent
- breakfast is excellent

Bad points:
- the bathrooms have fixed dispensers which are often broken
- the bar is usually full of idiot football fans yammering too loudly
- the floor plan and layout make it hard to find rooms

We were on the last leg of our Scotalnd and North England tour and wanted to stay around Manchester with the benfit of a leaisure centre.
The hotel was very busy being a Friday night with a function also taking place.
The room was to a nice standard with comfortable beds, but no air conditioning and the weather was still hot!
The leisure centre was excellent, with a massive pool, nice steam room, sauna and whilpool - the only downside was that our son who is 11 was only allowed in the pool as the other facilities had a strictly enforced over 16 rule.
Breakfast was included in our room rate but was very busy with the staff struggling to keep up with replenishing the supplies.

We recently stayed for our daughter’s wedding party which was well organised and well staffed. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was good. The rooms were also of a reasonable standard and breakfast was enjoyable with very pleasant staff.
My only criticism was that the two flights of stone steps to reception are particularly challenging, especially if you are carrying luggage and you are elderly. Yes, there is a lift around the right hand side of the building but this is not easily found or apparent. As we were leaving and I was taking my father to the lift an elderly lady went crashing down the steps tripping over her own luggage which she was trying to carry. Luckily, she appeared unhurt and didn’t report her mishap to reception which was probably due to a combination of embarrassment and the reluctance to climb the steps again.
At no time did reception staff indicate there was a lift even though it was clear that my parents might consider it useful. There is no obvious signage at the top or the foot of the steps. Surely it wouldn’t cost much or be too much trouble to help their more elderly visitors.

I have been to several Village Urban Resorts, and this is not as polished as the previous ones I have visited. It still has the same quality DeVere feel to it, but could do with a upgrade programme to maintain the Village Urban Resort quality brand. This occasion, we booked three rooms for the whole family.

The rooms were clean and in everything working order, though the TV was fuzzy, odd for digital I thought. The furniture scuffed and dated could do with an upgrade. Within the hotel the Leisure suite is excellent, great pool, jacuzzi, steam and sauna all in working order and clean. The Bar is great, and we had a meal at the onsite Italian restaurant, Vinny and Vito. The set price for two courses was excellent value, though I would have expected more authenticate, flavoursome dishes to be available from the menu.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, happy with Village Bury, and I would stay again

We had a 3 night mid week break last week, and found the hotel to be great value for money.
Staff very friendly, room was large, clean & quiet, food plentiful ( especially breakfast), leisure facilities lovely, location great.
Having read some other reviews, we can honestly say we did not experience any of the issues raised by other reviewers and would highly recommend this hotel!

We booked for the tribute night, a party of 8. The hotel is a typical Village, Victory pub had a nice sunny terrace to the front of the hotel. The tribute act was Nathan Moore Experience which wasn't very good the DJ/compare made the night. The food was good, 3 course at tribute show and a very pleasant breakfast.

Will stay again but wouldn't want to see the same tribute act again.

Stayed two nights here this weekend - and it was....ok at best.. the staff were friendly enough but dont think it really represents De Vere very well - we also paid for an upgraded 'upper deck' room which was small, dark and very very hot and stuffy- you could have been anywhere in the country, there was no information in the room which related to that particular hotel or the surroundings - the room's outlook was a side roof - supposedly the upper deck rooms should be quieter - nope - we had to make a call to managment at around 12.30am to complain about outrageous noise from the room above - incredible - it did stop after however!
Breakfast was a 'bun-fight' - kids everywhere - toasters catching alight, food quality was nice though but the constant too-ing and fro-ing of hoards of people is a nightmare - really was too expensive for the standard - will probably avoid 'Village' hotels again, too much like a Butlins for my liking..

staff were helpful and polite. room very clean and comfortable. good food and drink options and leisure facilities. staff in the restaurant need to pay more attention to detail but otherwise very good visit

We stayed here for one night on bank holiday weekend. We went for the Upper Deck option due to the Starbucks and Sky Movie package plus the Sleep easy Bed. The room was spacious and clean decorated to a modern standard, bed was huge and comfy. Just a shame you only get one Starbucks hot chocolate in your drink package ;) Hotel was clean and staff are very friendly, we use the pool and sauna facilities which are clean and well kept, they also offered toys for the children in the pool. We didn't eat at the hotel so cant comment on the food, but the restaurant across the road is fantastic value for money. The bar was reasonably price and seems to have a sports theme to it with pool table and darts boards. Rooms are very warm at night even with windows open but they did provide a fan. The walls are very thin as we heard next door arguing for almost an hour at 1 o'clock until security came and sorted it out.
Overall we had a relaxing experience and would definitely go again, and would take the children next time as it is very family orientated.

The tribute nights are absolutely ridiculous just because they are awake having a good night don't mean your guest have to be kept up all night far to hot in the hotel windows open but a noisy night was all I got wont be stating again and won't be recommending to anyway the total opposite acctually

We and 90 guests celebrated our golden wedding anniversary. Everything was first class the venue room , the hog roast buffet, and the DJ were excellent. The bar staff and catering staff were very friendly and helpful .We and several of our guests stayed overnight in spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms.The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice.I can highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed at the hotel back in April as a present for my boyfriend. We stayed on the dinner bed and breakfast deal. The hotel was lovely and so was the pool. The room was comfortable and modern with a basic and clean bathroom. The hotel was large and you could get a lift straight down to the pool without walking through the main reception. The onsite pub was good with warm and friendly staff. There was only a problem with the restaurant but it was understaffed and very busy. We sat down to eat at 8:30 and didnt leave until midnight. We waited over half an hour for our starter and over an hour for our main. When the main arrived the garlic bread was missing and it took another 20 minutes waiting for that. I tried waiting at first as i wanted it with my pasta but it took too long. We werent offered dessert even though we had paid for it so at quarter to midnight went up to staff and asked for it. We did complain as it was one thing after another so our drinks bill got wiped which was good. Overall good but i would only stay bed and breakfast next time.

Had a lovely spa day here. Was very clean and all staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Reception staff are a credit to the spa team! The sauna and steam are both first class and was nice to have a soak in the warm and deep jacuzzi! Overall the facilities are excellent! Had a go of the toning tables and the well equipped gym! Cant wait to go back.

We stayed here 10 years ago when it was relatively new. It's a great concept having different restaurants within the building to choose from, even a Starbucks coffee shop. The only thing letting it down is the fact that after 10 years it's probably time it had a fresh lick of paint.
The bedroom was good, modern and comfortable with a brilliant mirror for applying makeup and and comfortably drying your hair,etc , but the bathroom was more than tired! Shabby is an apt description. No extractor fan, a constantly dripping tap, visible wires from the towel rail, flaking paint from around the bath fascia and very dated grubby looking tiles.
The big plus however was the meal in the Italian Restaurant where the excellent food, along with a good choice of menu, was matched by the service. Again very good service at breakfast but the staff as a whole are very young and attention to detail needs to be addressed.A dirty spoon and a dirty cup should have been noticed. The best service was given by a more mature lady at breakfast, Isobel and by the night manager on reception. Overall, I would stay again but would be disappointed if no refurbishment had taken place.

We stayed at this hotel at the weekend, 2 night stay with my husband as visiting friends in the area. We booked in advance and cost us £62.50 per night for B&B, use of facilities and complimentary parking. For this kind of money I think the hotel was well worth the money especially as we had use of the leisure facilities which included a swimming pool. I was a bit disappointed that our standard double room which states includes a double bed was in fact 2 single beds that were pushed together, and the 'fresh decoration' I felt wasn't quite as fresh as I'd expected. At reception we were told that we were in the new block however I don't think this was the case as I thought the bathroom in particular was very dated, could have done with a re grout and our bathroom floor got very wet as the seal to the shower screen had gone. The room was very quiet at night and we had a lovely view of a stream.

Breakfast is served between 7.30-10.30 so didn't feel that we had to be up at the crack of dawn to eat which was good, I think that the hotel would benefit from haing another dining area or a imget dining area as there did seem to be an issue at breakfast and dinner about table space. English breakfast was on offer, cereals, fruit, toast, selection of pastries - self service. We ate dinner in the restaurant n Saturday night and would advise to ok in advance, the staff managed very well with a busy restaurant and even though there were several large parties in there we we not left tummies on the floor waiting for our food. There were a couple of options of menu ranging from the main menu or reduced menu, 3 courses for 2 people for £29 which we thought was good value for money.

All in all for the price, right off the motorway, in Manchester with parking included I thought it was good value for money would likely stay there again next time visiting friends ... Certainly beats a low up bed on their floor :)

Second visit to the De Vere village this year and what an improvement! Glad to see the verve restaurant has been replaced by Vinny and Vito :). Had a lovely stay here for 2 nights with my partner and little girl. Service was faultless the staff in the bar and restaurant were fantastic. Definitely value for money in my eyes. Lovely swimming pool area the little one loved the floats they had out to use. Food from bar and restaurant was of a really good quality. Would certainly recommend!!
