My husband and I attended a conference at this hotel and chose to stay in the hotel for convenience sake. The rooms were clean and tidy, although a bit dull. When we walked in the room was so hot. We turned the heating off and tried to open a window to cool it down, but of course they don't open wide enough to make a difference. Although they were double rooms, there was only 1 chair it in and staff ensured us this was normal. The staff were very good and very helpful. They were very welcoming and tried their best to satisfy everyone. The Friday night buffet was excellent. Cheers to the chef. Right, off to bed. The beds were comfortable, so no problems there. The next day we went down to breakfast. The food was good. The room seriously needs repainting and a lot of the furniture needs throwing out on the tip and replacing. The 'leather' is cracked and looks dirty. I would expect this furniture in a run down pub, not an hotel like this. The lunch supplied for £8.00/head, definitely not value for money. It consisted of a vegetable soup which was tasty and dried out thick inedible sandwiches. In the evening we had a ball. The pre-booked meals were good, but when it came to drinks, take out a loan, as they are expensive. We also found out that the drinks were more expensive at the conference by about 50% than the bar downstairs. This is not a practise that should be allowed. My advice, walk the distance and go downstairs for your drinks. I will not be staying here again.

Visited the spa several weeks ago with a family member. We were greeted by the staff and told to fill in a record card whilst having the day explained to us. We sat in the relaxation room, however, this was only small and once other people arrived it became crowded and was not really a relaxation/recovery area that I have known when visiting other spas. We asked were we should go to get changed as we expected to receive robes and slippers but the young girl was unsure, she went away then returned us to show us a 'Unisex' change room, again she was unsure what we should do with our belongings whilst giving us two robes that looked used. We was a little apprehensive to change as the change room was small but did not have separate cubicles so anyone could walk in including the opposite sex plus people wanting to use the toilet! The toilet was uninviting it looked old, worn and not 'Spa' like, the hand wash bottle was empty and just looked grotty. Once changed we took our belongings to the communal change rooms that are used by the gym members and returned back for our treatments. Although I had put down contraindications on the record card non of these were talked through to check I was okay to continue- a little bizzare, why ask us to fill them in!
Once in the room I would not say it was heated enough to say you are stripped down next to nothing nor was I asked if I would like extra blankets/towels, My therapist was pleasant but insisted talking throughout my back massage and the same throughout the mini facial. I could hear her drinking a bottle behind me, complained she had no brush to put on the face mask and struggled taking the facial products off with cotton wool-Not relaxing at all, Is this not the idea you book these packages!? Once the treatments were finished it was explained to us we could use the facilities but should avoid heat, the pool and washing off the oils! Why then give us our treatments so early? It was then a choice of use the facilities and waste was had just been done or continue... I did not feel relaxed anyway, I took the latter. on talking we discovered the treatments are not in sync with each therapist as one of us received a scalp massage during the treatment and quite time, the other did not. The facilities where okay but the pool was very busy and children were having swimming lesson, the Jacuzzi was cold and the hot tub out of use for a while-but once available it became full so we never got to use it.
Over-all the day was not great but not terrible. I feel some of the areas need a good make over and also a re-think regards to male/female change areas and that all the therapists work to the same standards so each client receives a similar experience.
One last point, we had left our details to purchase some products that were out of stock but some weeks later we are still waiting to hear from the girls. After this first time visit I am afraid to say we wont be rushing back especially as we both now have been suffering from bad coughs and colds ever since! Not a coincidence surely!? Sorry.

Could it do with a lick of paint? Yes probably and some of the bathrooms are a bit 90s but its clean, the facilities are second to none, the food is great and what really keeps me coming back time and again are the staff, they are fantastic, always so friendly and welcoming, really makes a difference when youre away from home a lot.

This is a busy, buzzing hotel and not a place I would consider for a relaxing night away. Although we were staying here for a conference we hoped to be able to unwind in the evening.
Our room was cold but once I located the thermostat it was fine. It was clean although in need if a little tlc. We had asked for a quiet room but our room was directly above the main function room. It was party night and unfortunately the sound did travel. It wasn't enough To stop me sleeping but without the tv on low, it would have been.
Food was nice, although it did take a while to arrive. Drinks were expensive and there didn't seem to be a quiet place to sit and relax. The pool area always seemed busy too.
Really glad I wasn't staying for a relaxing weekend as it felt like a party zone!

Booked a last minute night away as my girlfriend has been on at me for a while to take her to see Bury market. Easy to book, reasonable price and a lively spacious and clean room. As I find with all Devere hotels the restaurant was superb. Afterwards, despite there being a couple of functions on, it was easy to find a quiet place for a drink before retiring for the night. We normally like to have breakfast in hotels but to be honest at £10 a head that was a deal breaker and perhaps the only disappointment of the stay, we ended up having breakfast at the market at less then £10 for the two of us. Would definitely stay here again though.

We stayed this weekend for my daughters birthday. The whole team at this hotel could not do more for us. After we forgot to pack the balloons, banners & candles we went to reception to ask where we could rush to. No Need they were on the case and within 30 mins delivered all of the above to the function room. This is the first event we have held at this hotel but I will not hesitate in usig it again again. Buffet was great, arrived on time and lovely and hot. Staff on the night were great. Thanks Village Bury We Will Be Back Soon - Jean & Family

I have visited the Village, Bury on many occasions and for a number of different reasons. No matter what that reason is, the team could not be more helpful. My latest visit was for a large business event. The team worked extremely hard to get the room ready within a short turn around time and with minimum fuss as always. Everyone is so helpful and accommodating and nothing too much trouble. Our contact on the evening, Beth was very helpful indeed. I've also used the hotel for business meetings and Starbucks and I personally always find it a pleasure. The whole team that I've ever had contact with are friendly and helpful - always. See you soon and thank you!

with added bonus of cracking gym and pool, was warmly welcomed at check in, asked if wanted a quiet or standard room. Told of wifi code which is often almost treated as top secret at some hotels....
Would happily return on business

we enjoyed our stay here, although the bathrooms need to be better cleaned.
there is a pub and restaurant attached which is a great place to meet friends. Plenty of car parking space.
There is a lift at far RH end of building to get luggage upstairs to reception
