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!!

Hotel is located just of the m66 at bury about one and a half miles from the town centre the hotel has a very good resturant the verve and the food is very good we found it best to use the set menus such as befour 7pm as this was good value the main bar runs daily deals on food and drink as can get very lively the hotel also runs theme nights at the weekend in its function rooms the gym and spa are very good a huge gym also heated indoor pool steam room sauna and spa pool

I am a member of the village, and I do like to have short breaks away, and myself and my partner found everything ok, no problem, the carvary on the sunday was very tasty £11.95, I used my discount so we got 20% off so thats abit of a saving...every little helps.

All the rooms are pretty much the same, dark but clean, on a negative note, if you do have a disability of any sought, you will find the bath very high, and difficult to get into, also very slippy, I have a severe back/leg disability and found it very difficult to get myself into the bath to have a shower.

Everything else was fine.

Thankyou for reading my review

We went to an ABBA tribute night with a few friends recently and we have to say we were really impressed. We had a lovley meal, entertainment and a DJ for a very reasonable price and we all had a great evening. Will definitely be going back soon!

Located just off the motorway and easy to find with ample parking. There are around 30 steps up to the front reception, those less agile may need to arrange arriving through another entrance? Check in was a quick, easy and friendly experience. There is a handy lift just by the reception desk. Our room was clean, comfy and modern with tea, coffee, hair-dryer, iron, lots of coat hangers, imperial leather shower gel and hand wash in the bathroom. The pool, sauna, steam room were really quite nice. We stayed in the hotel as part of a hen party on a bed, breakfast and dinner deal for around £55 - great value for money. The drinks are quite expensive which obviously prompts people to take their own in..... beware you get a bag search on the way into dinner!!!!!!! Over-all I was impressed, its not a classy place, but its clean adequate and a great place for a good value get together.

Excellent hairdryer.
booked it for its location between whalley and oldham.
20 steps from car park to reception not easy with bags
leisure club provides good standard
I wasn't sure the room was non-smoking due to the smell so rang receptionw twice to check but no answer. I later found the notice saying the whole hotel was non-smoking, but my bedclothes still came away smelling of stale smoke
reception not the most professional but a good allrounder with only a little motorway noise.

So, booked a stop over as it was 30minutes from the airport and located conveniently for Busy, Bolton and Rochdale. Massive building, with quite a few Steps to get to reception. Didnt see any disabled access, but am sure there was some. Reception and check in quick and simple and room on the 2nd floor. Lifts within easy reach. Busy Hotel as it has a large bar and large leisure club. The room was decorated in a modern style, but was cold. Due to the fact that NO radiators, just electric plug in radiators. Had to leave this switched on during evening meal to get warmth into the room. Large TV, settee and good facilities.
Restaraunt - Cooked evening food to my personal tastes and reasonable priced. Noticed another chain of restaraunts next door. They hold different themed nights for everyone, from Karaoke, through to Quiz nights, so if its entertainment you like, you'll be at home.
breakfast - large choice, hot or cold buffett....although again, NOT HOT ENOUGH!

Overall, good for business, short stays, entertaining - Get the heating on if its cold

If you can get onto their Deals it is value for money, otherwise the Premier Inn in Bury is far better value. Plus the Breakfast in the Premier Inn is far better and far hotter.
Village breakfast no matter how early you go for them are never really hot, only luke warm.
breakfast should be cooked to order not left to go cold, this is a health Hazard.
Food should be removed after 15mins not left until it is congealed in the dishes.
Resturant meals are overpriced, it is a 3 star hotel not a Michelin star, get thing inn perspective.
first nights eveining meal was included in price, but my meal was partly overcooked and partly raw. dining room manager asked me to choose again and " Low and Behold" replacement meal was cooked to perfection. Why was this not done with my first choice ANSWER Too busy and probably thought customer will not say anything,but just leave. They were wrong. I do believe in complaining but only if it is justified.
another strange thing is that my room for the less abled visitors was for wheel chairs, but instead of a shower it had a bath. why?

Well we arrived as part of a family booking with our two children to stay for a few nights in december as a little treat for the kids. Although there wasnt alot for the kids to do we were still made welcome by the lovely girl on reception Elise. She offered to carry our bags as she could see our struggle. Upon checkin we booked our table in the verve grill as were told that kids were not allowed in the pub during the football. However we ate here for all 3 nights as the food was fantastic. Plenty of choice and the waitress even offered to get us extras that were not on the menu.
Breakfast was a basic self service buffet with alot of choice. Was shocked to see no black pudding, but nevertheless it was fantastic. Although it being very early, the staff were awake, laughing and chatty. Especially matthew and carol who even helped us with a list of local sites and attractions and directions to them for the kids.
The hotel was clean, comfy and warm. Very relaxing and spacious. The pool was clean and there was plenty of room for us to swim. The changing rooms even having a dryer for your swimwear.
The only downfall of the stay was the cost. We expected high prices with it being a hotel but was shocked to find out what the food and drinks prices were on arrival to verve. This put us off drinking on the second and third night. The food was well worth every penny however.

I stayed here during my works christmas party 2011.

Check in was at 3pm, and the rooms were decent enough - two twin beds which were comfortable and a decent sized bathroom. Although it took me about 5 minutes to manage to turn on the water for the shower!!
The room has a television, which i'm assuming has all freeview channels- we only listened to the radio.

Tea and coffee available in the room.

The pool did look very nice! Wish i would have made the effort to go down.

The breakfast in the morning was a buffet style- serve yourself. Which gave the basic options for a breakfast- eggs/ sausage/ beans/ toast/ cereal/ bacon etc. Was basic but eatable!

Overall, i would stay again for a christmas party or something similar. But if i was to go for a night away with my partner, i would probably go to a hotel which was smaller. Although for such a large chain hotel, you can't complain really ! :)
