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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
