Village Hotel Bury
Latest Reviews
We've stayed here many times in recent years we booked B&B for 2 nights for a family room.
Check in was quick and friendly on Sunday. It's a shame my 12 yr old couldn't have a swim as it closes to under 16's at 1700 during the week and 1800 on Sunday.
The room (254)was of Premier Inn size. The bed is of king size but had a foam top...which makes the bed even warmer. My daughter was using the bed settee. She complained that it was Sid, which I ignored until the following day when I sampled it....and I simply don't know how she slept!!
We've never known hotels these days not have air conditioning. These rooms don't! It was hot outside and even hotter in the room. The windows were open which meant that even when the motorway was quiet, you can still hear the heating system for the pool and the 5am deliveries or the 11pm bottle bank emptying!!
Our final night was sleepless as there was a high pitch whistle coming from the bathroom which I feel was the broken extractor fan. It sounded like a continuous dog whistle from 2am to 8am! I have it recorded too!!
The pool is lovely. The facilities are fab. Really clean.
The bar areas are good too.
The breakfast was less than appetising! I hate food left under heated lights...that's exactly what they do. The eggs weren't replenished until I chased a waitress for some. I really wouldn't recommend breakfast here....a big disappointment.
I feel the pool was attracting us to stay...but think in September, we will be using the Premier Inn in Bury

We had a nice three nights despite the hot weather I wish the rooms would have had air conditioning as our room was roasting and having the window open all night ment it was a noisey stay. The new Italian was fab and it had some great choices. The meatballs are a real filler. The swimming pool was nice but it needs a clean It seems ok at first but it doesn't take long to notice the grime on the sides. As for our room it was compact but ok the blinds however needed a clean it made me laugh to see clean mean April 2013 written in the dust on them. The service and staff at the Victory bar are great.

‘I resolved that after the uplifting experience some 16 friends and I enjoyed at your hotel in Bury, to communicate that fact to you.
I have travelled extensively in the UK and abroad and I have to say that very rarely have I experienced the quality of service that I and my friends (from various 'airts and pairts') received during our stay at the Bury DeVere Village and during the event we arranged for the evening of Sat 6th July . . . nothing seemed to be an effort to the staff, every service and help that was provide by any and all of the team was provide with a smile, bearing in mind ours was just one small event amidst a host of other activities that they had also to deal with. The excellent staff contributed to a most pleasant and memorable occasion that will be long remembered . . . . we plan to return in 2016 which a special date in our calendar.’

Looked forward to staying at The Village hotel in Bury but the disappointment started before we entered the hotel. There wasn't a ramp into the hotel for wheelchair users but there was a lift, it was raining and no shelter over the lift entrance so we were wet and cold waiting for the lift to come, the lift took us up 1 floor (still outside) I then pushed the chair to the entrance passing all the smokers milling around the door - not a good start! The room was okay just one or two niggles but these were sorted out quickly which was good. I found the lighting all around the hotel very dim and the pub was a bit grubby - just not what I expected. At breakfast on the first morning I thought the staff could have been a bit smarter and more friendlier and the food a bit better. Next morning it was like a different hotel - staff all dressed the same and very pleasant even though it was a lot busier, the food was better too! The swimming pool was great, warm and clean, definitely a plus. Saying all that the hotel was very busy.

Me and my boyfriend have stayed here twice now for my birthday 2012 and 2013 and had a great weekend both times! - I must admit the hotel rooms are a little bit more run down this year then when we went in 2012 where they had just been refurbished. we stayed in a double room with couch. Rooms have all you need and are still of a good standard.
The breakfast is to die for - all you can eat bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, cereals, pain au chocolate, cinnamon swirls, croissants, fresh juices, tea and coffee.
Go to the gym, take a dip in the pool, relax in the sauna and steam room.
we've had meals in the bar and there nice although we did go into bury centre both times as its round the corner and there's plenty to do such as bowling cinemas, nandos and shopping.
the only problem was it was dearer this year to stay than the previous year. £70 for one night this year, £104 for 2 nights last year even though its slightly run down.
Overall, great stay may make it a third stay next year.

Attended a "grease night" with work friends to celebrate a special birthday. We all made an effort dressing up in grease fancy dress, as did most of the other parties. Just a shame the hotel didn't make much of an effort with the "grease themed evening". They played a selection of songs from the film for approx 1 hour then it was just a dj & disco. Should not really been advertised or sold as a "grease themed night". Bit disappointing really.

Booked this hotel for business and convenience, however would use for leisure as well, has fantastic facilities, the gym and pool area are lovely clean and welcoming. The rooms are comfy and clean, On site free spacious parking. Couple of different restaurants and themed nights in the bars. Value for money and staff always helpful and friendly.

Stayed at the Village Bury overnight for a Hen Do party night. We don't live far away but thought we'd treat ourselves - relax during the day and make use of the facilities and get ready at the hotel and stay rather than paying the nearly the same price for taxis.
When we got to the hotel it turned out they had booked us into a double room instead of a twin and it was no where near the other rooms our friends were booked in to, even though we booked together. The difference between the rooms was also quite shocking, the older part of the hotel, although lovely, is very small and the first room they gave us you could hardly swing a cat in and it overlooked a dirty flat roof full of fag butts.
At the front desk they weren't very helpful at all when we approached them and just kept telling us they were fully booked. Eventually after asking to speak to a manager they agreed to move us to a room with a double bed and pull out bed and told us the pull out bed would be made up while we were at the party night. All this messing about ate into our time in swimming pool etc which I wasn't best pleased about, but they did offer us a drink each for the trouble and we managed to get a bottle of wine between us, although I didn't feel this was enough considering the hassle and definitely didn't think it was enough after returning from the party night late on to find the other bed hadn't been made up so we ended up having to bunk in together in the double bed. It's not the worse thing ever but when you're paying to stay somewhere you expect to get what you paid for, which was a twin room.
There was a big party of Manchester United fans in the hotel that night that are regulars there, so I couldn't help but think our twin room had been sacrificed for them.
The breakfast was good, plenty of choice. The swimming pool and sauna facilities are also good.

Just returned from a weekend package deal at this hotel for my sisters 60th birthday, there were 10 of us in five rooms they put us all next door to eachother which was great, the rooms were wonderful lots of modern decor with hairdryer and even an ironingboard/iron, we had a three course meal which was gorgeous followed by an evening of entertainment from a tribute band and a disco, we all had a fantastic night followed by a full english breakfast the next morning and full use of the leisure centre and swimming pool, all this for £57.50 per person the staff were so kind and helpful every one of them nothing was too much trouble for them. we all enjoyed it and cant wait to stay there again thankyou to all of you and keep up the good work

Just return from a 2night break in this hotel. Great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the hotel. We had meal in the Italian restaurant the first night which was gorgeous. Alcohol slightly higher than last year when we stayed but its to be expected. Only don side if I was to nit pick was the toaster of a morning u have to put the bread in twice before it goes brown. This is a pain more so when it's busy. Other than that all I can say is WE WILL B BK!!!!

Make no mistake this hotel qualifies as a 4* hotel and has everything it needs for the grading. But only just. The rooms are just big enough. The facilities are just OK. There is soap in the rooms, but just enough. Its OK as a business hotel, with free wifi and a passable restaurant (with an OK but not "WOW" breakfast buffet). And to be fair the leisure club and pool are very nice and well equipped.
Note for disabled visitors - like all Village hotels there is a huge flight of stairs at the front with a very pokey lift around the corner (which you will need to use if you have a lot of luggage anyway). We had a disabled room (quite by chance) with extra wide door and accessible bathroom. OK but not the best I have ever seen.
Finally, this particular Village has cornered the Bury market for Hen nights and low cost package weddings. Over the weekend we were there there were at least 3. If you are looking for a quiet break - this will probably not be your venue of choice.
On the upside the hotel is well priced for North Manchester and it is only a 10 minute drive into Prestwich and a further 10 from there to the City Centre and very convenient for getting to the Peaks, Dales and even the lake District (just 90 minutes when we did it).
Just dont expect a classy hotel. It is 4* and good value, but only just

Stayed at this hotel recently. I found the reception area nice and modern and the reception staff pleasant enough. The room I stayed in was very dark, and had to always keep the lights on. The window in the room was situated above a flat roof - along with the other rooms on the same level. This meant that I felt unsafe to leave my bedroom window open during the night, as it would have been accessible for someone to enter the room through the window should they wish.
The evening food was lovely, cooked very nicely and was also impressed with the breakfast - even though there appeared to be no order and lots of hungry guests!
Would stay again, but would not like to pay more money than what I paid.

Booked this really last minute and principally on the price. We were looking to get away near Manchester and this seemed like a good deal.
Needed communicating rooms as the kids had their own room and after a couple of calls direct to the hotel the ultra helpful lady on reception secured this for us.
Arrived at the hotel 8pm on the Sat night. It is a busy hotel and there were two weddings on so the bar was busy as was the reception area. We booked into the Italian themed restaurant for dinner. Again busy, but after 15 mins (were told it would be 20) we were seated and had menus. Food pretty good and service OK.
Our rooms were 266 & 264. These are 'family' rooms which basically means you get a double bed and a settee that converts to a double. Rooms fine, decor perhaps on it's way to becoming tired but OK.
Buffet breakfast next day with good selection of hot and reasonable selection of cold options. Sometimes a bit of a delay by the coffee machine. In the evening we went to the pub next door just for a change.
Had a swim next morning. Huge pool and what looked to be OK leisure facilities although didn't try them.
On balance we had great value for the price we paid (got one room for £69 and the other for £85 incl. breakfast, a Premier Inn might cost you that!
Hotel is busy so it's not really somewhere for a relaxing romantic break. All staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
Would go again.

we spent a week - end here for a 60th birthday, we was given a room at the back of the hotel (173) which suited us fine , a pain to find (up a floor in one lift ,along a long corridor then down 2 floors in another lift.) but was worth the messing . the room was spotless , very large and comfy ,beautiful view from room and very , very quiet. Breakfast on saturday morning was excellent , the staff very helpful...Sunday morning the hotel seemed very busy and a bit cramped in the dining area .but you could still get a decent breakfast. we would stay here again no problem.

Booked a last minute DBB night away for our Wedding Anniversary and paid just £75. We've always found Village to be good and we weren't disappointed this time. The leisure is particularly good and we used it twice during our stay, the changing facs are large and spotless, also a large pool with plenty of loungers made for a really relaxing couple of hours after breakfast.
Booked a last minute massage at the spa and the treatment from Jess was fabulous and excellent value for money.
We also had a drink in the Victory bar where the barman served my own personally designed cocktail and had dinner in the italian which was tasty.
What stood out at this hotel was the staff, from the bright welcome we recieved at reception, the lovely lady who booked in my massage to the housekeeper who changed the lightbulb all of them were so friendly and a real credit to the hotel.
For a leisure break we just can't fault and we will be back!!

I was here last week for a friends 60th birthday,it was my first time here.It is a busy place with lots of others celebrating birthdays and hen nights.The food was average as they were serving for over 200 people they did quite well.The entertainment was the main reason we were all there it was good too,with lots of music for different age groups.I did not stay in the hotel but some of my friends did and they said their rooms were good.The pool area looked lovely too.It is easy to get too off the motorway with ample car parking.

I recently dined in the victory pub which is situated inside the village hotel, I asked to see a children's menu which a young man kindly informed me of offers they had on at the time, this was greatly appreciated as it meant my 2 children ate for free! Under 5's eat free! (Excellent)
The only thing to receive this offer was for 1 adult per child to eat at full price, there was me and my husband eating so this was music to our ears, as I went to the bar to order the same young man was quick and efficient to serve me and greeted me with a smile,(I think he was called Dane), I started to place my order, as I started to order my children's meal there seemed to be a problem with the till, the young man explained that he would resolve the situation (I assumed he was a manager as he had a black t-shirt on) he explained what he had to do in order for me to receive this good offer, "fine no problem" was my reply, so I continued to order, as I was ordering a woman wearing the same uniform popped her head round the bar and said very abruptly "you can't do that", she then rambled off a stipulation to me on the offer which meant I had to pay for the drink, "it's not what it says on the menu" was my reply, as though I had just slapped her with a wet fish she expressed an attitude of "I can't be botherd arguing", she then told the POLITE man to "oh just do it" and she stormed off, I made a comment to the man along the lines of "great customer service eh" to which he actually apologised on her behalf which made me feel awful as he had done nothing wrong, I could see he was quite embarrassed by the situation. In the end the man served me exactly what I wanted and the order was complete, his service was quick and friendly, HE was a credit to village, the food was very nice and i will certainly return for more, As for the lady I'm sorry to say but she let the place down. She had a bad attitude and I hope she is not working on my next visit.

Stayed here on a Friday night on a Dinner B&B package, in an "Upperdeck" room for £95
The room was good and clean with a very comfortable bed ensuring a good nights sleep.
We ate in the Victory which supplied its usual fine standard of food, which gave you a £14.50 per head allowance on anything from the menu and if you went over you paid the difference (I think the same goes for the italian if you don't want to choose from their set menu and want to go for the full on). The breafast was good with plenty of choice and cooked items being brought out on a regular basis.
All the staff we had dealings with were very pollite, cheery and helpful
The swimming pool is nice and sectioned for people who want to swim and people who want to just mellow, it has various 3 spa pools, a steam room and a suana (which part of the seating was barried due to it being broken, this would not take much to fix)
The outside of the hotel needs a facelift as it is looking quite tired.
When you consider all that you get for your money it is well worth the price, i would have given it 5 had the place not looked so tired in the public areas.

Very busy hotel, located just where we needed to be. Good room but not very well lit and with dark decor. On the plus side breakfast was good and the hotel let us have a late checkout at no extra charge. Didn't use it but there was probably the largest swimming pool I have seen in a hotel, anywhere. Free wifi was also a bonus. Other guests did seem to make themselves heard at night in the corridors

I Came Here On 18th &19th April 2013, This Hotel Was Chosen By The Company Who Was Training Us. Was Very Impressed By The Outside & Interior Of The Hotel, The Staff Were More Than Helpful, Food Was Very Nice, Good Selection, Whilst I Didnt Stay Overnight Other People From My Group Did And The Only Complaint I Heard About The Rooms Was Uncomfy Pillows....(Each To There Own)

I stayed at the hotel on the recommendation of a colleague as it was an ideal place to meet him for breakfast.
I must point out that I booked late (only 24 hours before checking in) so didn't expect the best price. I was offered a twin room at £109 and opted for breakfast at an additional £10. So for £120 I was expecting a reasonable stay. My room had two spongy single beds and it really could have been cleaned better (plenty of dust in the corners and the bathroom could do with new silicon as it was dirty).
I used the gym and left my room key as security. The gym is good with plenty of equipment however when I went to reclaim my key they had lost it along with the paper sleeve with the room number written on it! I sprinted back to my room and thankfully nothing was missing so they recoded the keys.
The breakfast was the most annoying detail. I had prepaid 10 pounds and met my colleague who had walked in off the street and only paid £5! I know this sounds petty but it is quite galling. When I checked out I asked the desk about the discrepancy and they said there was nothing they could do and the £5 was a 'special seasonal ' offer .
According to my friend he has only ever paid £5 and the special offer has been running for at least the last two years!
In summary, could be cleaner. Gym is good. Don't pay for breakfast.

When I checked out I asked the desk about the discrepancy and they said there was nothing they could do and the £5 was a 'special seasonal ' offer .
According to my friend he has only ever paid £5 and the special offer has been running for at least the last two years!
In summary, could be cleaner. Gym is good. Don't pay for breakfast.
