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

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.

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.

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

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!!

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.
