While I have to agree this was a value for money stay I still expect to get a good nights sleep when I hand over my money.

The village is neither a hotel nor is it a village and has something of an identity crisis.

So when a wedding party took over a large part of the facilities not only did we suffer noise from the function but drunk inconsiderate guests in the next room who kept us up ALL NIGHT! Despite our complaints the to reception the noise continued. We were left exhausted for the final day of our trip which included a 280+ mile drive.

On the whole though the room was good, service was good and the breakfast reasonable.

Others have mentioned the steps to the entrance which are an accessibility nightmare for both those with additional needs or those who simply have a case to carry! There was no obvious alternative easy access.

With tribute acts and karaoke nights on the calendar this appears to be a venue for local stag and hen parties rather than families but you gets what ya pays for.

Would I go back - nope!

P.s. on departure we did complain and did get an acceptable resolution although a lost nights sleep is difficult to make up.

I have been to this hotel 5 times now on different occasions and you can always expect an excellent service from all members of staff who are friendly and easy to approach if you do ever encounter a problem not that I have had any problems there myself.it is very clean and tidy in all areas.it is also very child friendly, I will be staying again for sure.

Very dark rooms in need of a makeover (old pillows, cracked sink, scuff marks on walls etc.) Very dark and noisy (loud music) reception area. Good access to North-West motorway network, but that is just about the only thing going for it, probabaly the worst of all the Village Hotels I've stayed in.

Always had an excellent experience at this hotel.The bar and dining room staff are friendly and attentive,rooms very comfortable and clean,what more could you want.

Stayed at this Hotel several times . Always find the room very comfortable and clean . The bars are comfortable and the staff always friendly . Usually eat at the carvery which is very good value and has a good choice as does the breakfast in the mornings . We always look forward to our visits and have already booked our next evening there .

This is the 2nd time I have stayed in a Village Hotel and I can't fault it on anything. The staff are extrememly polite and helpful, the hotel is in lovely condition, the rooms always spotless and overall just really good value for money! There was a slight mix up with the booking on our first stay as we'd gone through an external booking system but the staff at the hotel could not have done more to help solve the situation for which I was very grateful. I've already got a few more girly weekends in mind as the spa packages are brilliant and could not recommend it more!

This is a standard Village hotel. it has more than ample parking, excellent sized clean rooms with good facilities. Bar is welcoming and food very good. Stayed for 3 nights (not for the first time) while working in bury very close to motorway but quiet enough, only problem is sometimes when there is a function on the noise is a bit annoying. Also (no fault of the hotels) every morning there seems to be children running up and down the corridors screaming and banging on peoples doors.
One more point I was working late and had the cleaner just walk in at 7:30am which was a little annoying, mentioned to reception and received apology but it shouldn't happen if I haven't left my key at reception really.

Stayed at the Village Hotel on a Saturday night and the public areas were very busy with party goers. However our room, overlooking the river, was very quiet. Getting to the room was a bit of a hike and the layout puzzling - made worse when the door key didn't work so had to return to reception. When in the room only one double bed for the three of us and this was only sorted after two requests. The breakfast was fine and enjoyed our time in the gym. Worse thing about the Village hotel chain has to be the choice of corporate colour that is best described as 'sludge'. Time for a change?

I stayed at this hotel with work for 2 nights. The room (on the first floor) was clean and comfortable. Nice big bed, big flat screen tv, small but clean bathroom.

Breakfast was ok - the selection could have been better (more cereals etc) but what I had was tasty. Ate in the bar in the evening (and one lunchtime) and although the menu is not as varied as I would have liked the food was nice.

I would highly recommend the quiz night on the Tuesday - one of the best one's I have ever been to with good prizes.

There is also a large pub just outside the entrance to the car park, which has a brilliant food menu (and a carvery) which is a nice alternative to have if you are staying for multiple nights.

Didn't use the leisure facilities, so can't comment, but the pool looked very good.

One small point is that it is in the middle of nowhere (just off the motorway) so would be difficult to reach by public transport I imagine.

Overall I would highly recommend.

We stayed at this hotel for dinner and over night stay as part of a Sunday special offer. Food excellent (both dinner and breakfast) and the staff could not do enough for you. Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

We stayed at this hotel the night before flying from Manchester Airport, we stayed in a standard double room which was very nice and modern, the room was a good temp and very quite, the tv was a good site with a number of channels.

We had dinner in the verve resturant which was very nice and we did the 2 dine for £29.99 for 3 courses each excluding drinks which was very good value.

check in and out was very quick and easy and there was lots of parking, the starbucks to the from of the hotel was also very nice, there is also a gym but we did not get chance to use it due to needing to leave early in the morning.

The room was a good price and there was tea and coffee in the room, the bed was very comfy.

I would recomend this hotel.

great hotel.we stayed for one night dinner and breakfast.on6/5/2012.with 2 children age 3 and8.we paid 114 pound. for a superia room.they let us book in early at 11.30am instead of 3.00pm.staff very friendly everywhere in the hotel.we had our evening meal at 12.30pm.early so kids eat free.the best calvery i have ever had very nice.breakfast was nice to but not muchto choose from.but every thing i eat was of a good standard.the swimming pool was very big.a little cold but not to bad.to small pools for kids to play in.massive gym to squash courts which we played for free.and table tennis aswell.the room was ok not as nice as in warrington.our room saw in the new part so had to take to lifts to the room took some finding first time.i would recomend this hotel.

The Village was a good venue for a business event i recently attended.

This is a story of two halves. I have stayed at the Village Hotel, Bury a number of times and always found the hotel to be of a good quality.

The communal areas are very nice. There is a Starbucks (which can struggle with service delivery at busy times), a decent sports bar and a very good restaurant (The Verve) The leisure facilities are excellent – a great pool and very well equipped gym and spa. In all a decent Village Hotel.

The rates are very fair and in principle there is no reason not to recommend the location for either business or leisure. (I have attended a couple of small conferences here and the service was excellent)

Okay, so my gripe on this trip (and one which compelled me to submit this review) is the disparity in room quality. I have previously stayed ‘in the front part of the hotel’ in a standard double. They are very nice rooms, well appointed and very well decorated and equipped. They have a feel of boutique hotel which rich fabrics and colouring which give the hotel a very classy feel.

This time I was given a ‘Superior Double Room’…room number 17X. This room is at the back and beyond of the main hotel. You go up in the lift…walk through long corridors to another lift…go DOWN in the lift…and round a few more corridors and you are then transported back in time to a Travelodge (circa 1980’s) Orange and browns, cheap furniture, tired, uncomfortable beds and zero soundproofing give the rooms a genuine motel feel!

Anyway, to cut a long review short…..make sure you insist on a ‘new bedroom’ in the main part of the hotel when you make a reservation. If they cannot accommodate you, there is a very nice Mercure about five minutes away which is new and equally well equipped.

Nice hotel, good entertainment , nice food , nice rooms.

We stayed here recently, for a family function held in the Hotel, and we found all the staff first class, very friendly and helpful. Rooms were a little dark but very clean and comfortable and included an iron, ironing board and hairdryer, plus tea/coffee making facilities and tv, excellent.. This is a very busy Hotel and Leisure Club but we never had to wait very long for any service. Breakfast was nice enough but could have been a bit hotter. All in all we would recommend this Hotel and but for the very few minor points we were more than satisfied with our stay.

I was booked into this hotel through my company booking agents Intel. It is very large and has a leisure complex so people outside of the hotel guests were troopsing in all through the day. There was also a "sports night" event on during my one night stay so the bars and foyer was alive with people in DJ's accompanied by their female partners who mostly should not have persevered getting shoe horned into their long gowns. My room was good, very clean and large but in places the decor was starting to get a bit tired, particularly along the corridors. The door key card system was not working so a member of the reception staff had to accompany you to your room to open the door for you every time you wanted to get in. Reception staff were extremely friendly and this was a plus. I ate in the restaurant but the food was very mediocre though adequate. Had I been paying for it, I might have been a bit miffed. Overall, this hotel was far too busy for me and not a place where you can find a quiet little corner to relax with your lap top after a hard days work. If I was a private traveller I would not choose this hotel for a quiet break.

Stayed here last night on a hen party night. Accommodation was very good. Large bedroom with all the amenities (plus ironing board and iron in room) and large bathroom. Bed very comfortable. Food was included in our package and also a boy band tribute act. There were a few birthday parties and hen parties about 23 tables so for mass catering I thought the food was very good. Although the vegetarian option apparently wasnt a hit on our table. There are good leisure faiclities - loved the swimmiing pool. Drinks very very expensive but despite that we had a cracking time and I would attend another event there and stay over. Breakfast buffet was good.

Stayed at the village hotel on one of their tribute nights. Robbie Williams. Had a three course meal which was excellent. Room was great, very modern. Great friendly staff in the victory pub.would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

We and our friends stayed one night to attend a 'Robbie Williams' tribute night.

The leisure facilities are good, there is a pub and function room (tip - buy your drinks from the pub not the function room, much cheaper).

Rooms are very nice and beds comfortable. We found all the staff friendly and efficient. Breakfast was nice and leisurely (on a previous stay here it had been chaos - so a big improvement).

Great value - Villages send lots of emails with offers and deals. So will be back!

Stayed in quite a few of the village hotels and like them very much. Did`nt get to use the pool etc at this place but room,food and staff all up to the usual good standard. For the price I paid I think its pretty good value for money. Would of course stay here again, If I have one moan ,its the price of the drinks in the bar. Little bit steep but having wall to wall sports on the big screen makes up for that to be fair.

Had an excellent valentine experience. Two wonderful nights with full use of leisure facilities, fantastic 3 course meal and full breakfasts. The tribute act was wonderful and the 3 course meal was lovely. A wonderful time was had by all.

I have stayed here three times this year on business. Check in is quick although I have turned up after 2200 and had to go and find a member of check in staff as there's no way of contacting anyone from the reception desk. Annoying when you have a lot of luggage.

The rooms are ok, the cleanliness does vary and some of the bathrooms look tired compared to the rest of the room. The pillows are very soft so after my first visit I took my own as they were too soft for me. On my last visit I had a problem getting the main lamp in the room which provides the majority of the light working but the receptionist came up very quickly and resolved the issue. Good hairdryer, iron and ironing board in the room,

Breakfast is self service and of average quality. Nothing spectacular but perfectly adequate. The meals I had in the restaurant and the Victory pub were very nice in particular the burger and chips in the pub were gorgeous however room service is very disappointing. The karaoke on a Thursday night in the Victory pub is quite amusing. The pub manager is also very good, friendly and deals with any drunk troublemakers efficiently.

First nights stay in Jan it arrived late but within 15 minutes of the time specified so an hours wait. The second night I ordered at 1900 was told it would be 45 minutes so expected it around 2000. When I rang at 2020 asking when it would be arriving I was told they were very busy in the restaurant but it would be up within 15 minutes. I thought ok that's fine however by 2100 when it still hadn't arrived I had to go downstairs and ended up cancelling the order. My issue was why they said they could honour the order when they were clearly too busy. I ended up eating from the Starbucks cafe in the hotel that night so I wasn't best pleased.
However I did get a call around 2330 offering a bottle of wine on check out to apologise. Since that experience I have then eaten downstairs and the food tastes much nicer than when served via room service,

The team leader at the Starbucks is so friendly and cheerful even at 7am in the morning!

The pool is lovely and the jacuzzi is nice and large. The ladies gym has a good range of equipment but the decor is slightly tired and things like the clock weren't working minor details but would be easy things for the hotel to improve, Changing rooms are massive and clean.

The hotel is in a good location and seems mainly to cater for business travellers but the health club is very popular with locals.

Would stay here again.

Just got back from a Village- we were surprised just how busy this hotel was. Check in was effortless and our room was available 2hrs before the 3pm check inn.
The room itself was pleasant and clean- no complaints whatsoever.
We then went to the victory bar for lunch, We ordered the two for £10 burger meal- it was excellent value for money. loads of chips too
Later that afternoon we went down to the leisure club; had half an hour in the gym and then made full use of the pool and sauna- again it was really clean and very well managed.
We then walked to the football match and after the match stopped at the Asian Lounge on the Rochdale Road approx half a mile from hotel. The meal there was absolutely fantastic we both had a Thai dish.
We then returned to the hotel I did find the room slightly hot during the night .
This morning we had a wonderful breakast -both of us had full English -it was excellent quality, The bacon was very lean and the food was hot. My wife would have preferred a cup rather than a mug of tea , otherwise excellent.
Check out was not till 11 am so we went down to the leisure centre and took part in a 45 min Zumba class: great teacher, great music and very friendly group of people.
If I lived in Bury I would certainly join this leisure club.

I stayed here for for 2 nights in Feb over my wedding, the night before with family, and my wedding night with my husband. The minute my sister and I walked into the room, we were greeted by a blast of hot air, the electric heater was on full heat, and would not be turned off. We asked at reception straight away if this could be sorted, as the heat was unbearable to sleep in, and then left the hotel, we came back to no change, I dont know if anone look at the heating or not whilst we were out, so we opened the windows as far as they would go,and hoped for the best. Unfortunalty, neither of us slept well, due to the heat. I woke up the day of my wedding, with a banging headace, having not had enough sleep, hoping breakfast would be nice..unfortunalty again, whilst the toast and sausages were nice enough, the bacon I have to say was actually disgusting.
Returning to the hotel the next day after my wedding, the heating was still the same, and we had to ask again for it to be sorted, to which it was turned off at the fuse.. which sorted it for us. I feel sorry if it gets turned on again for the next guest though..

Overall, a nice hotel, friendly staff, was expensive for how I feel the weeked went, considering we had family stay in the Premier Inn, not very far away who couldnt praise the hotel and staff enough.. will stay there next time I think!!
