Stayed in Bury for a relative's wedding. The room was comfortable with good facilities, pleasantly decorated. The bed was comfy, the room had a large settee which was a bonus, the TV was OK but very hard to find a particular channel as the guide was useless. There was an iron, ironing board, hair dryer and coffee/tea making facilities. Lighting was good, wardrobe a decent size, view over the countryside was welcome. The bathroom was fine, shower over bath worked well, facilities in bathroom were quite good, but there was no working extractor fan, even though there appeared to be a vent. Heated towel rail worked OK. No air-conditioning in the room, which we were surprised about, but the windows opened to let fresh air in at least. Breakfasts were good with plenty of choice. We are vegetarians and had no problems. Service was good even though the hotel was very full at the time. We ate at the hotel the first evening and the food was very good. The food for the "wedding breakfast" we enjoyed very much. They even made a special 'one-off' meal (mushroom risotto) for my wife who is gluten intolerant, and provided gluten free bread too. They took a lot of trouble to accommodate special diets. Other guests who were in our group didn't think their room was as nice as ours, and the hotel were happy to move them into another room. All things considered we enjoyed our stay very much, and would stay here again in the future if in the area.

Decent sized double room with en suite. Lots of stairs up to the room. Very easy to park, more than ample spaces. Lots of different areas to eat, drink and socialise. Leisure club very good. All very clean and swift service.

Expensive for what it is unfortunately .
What we ate was nice but portion quite small and price expensive. So many good offers around no wonder restaurant there is often quite empty. Shame as would go more often if price more competitive.
Staff were friendly, good service.

I have been using the Villiage now for 6 weeks and having once been afraid to even set foot in a gym im now loving it. The facilities are brilliant and the staff are friendly and approachable. Myself and friends meet up exercise and then use the pool and facilities. Its a great way to spend time with friends.

I went to the Verve restaurant in the Village hotel in Bury with a friend for an evening meal. I thought the meal was very nice. The restaurant was busy, a bit noisy sometimes as there were quite a lot of girl groups eating. Service was good.

Had a very pleasant weekend at the hotel. Staff at reception, restaurant and gym were all helpful and friendly. Good selection of food at breakfast and well organised. All the amenities by the pool were clean and in good working order (Jacuzzi, steam room etc). Enjoyed some of the fitness classes particularly the 12'oclock Sunday Step class. Instructor enthusiastic and knew her stuff. Room was spacious and quiet even though there were functions on. Would definitely stay at again.

I would like to say we enjoyed our stay here but i keep thinking about one particularly rude young lady whom works on reception, sarah I believe her name was? Very abrupt I heard her speak to a young couple like they were rubbish and I also believe I heard her swear a few times which as I had children with me made me a bit uneasy to say the least. Our dining experience was ok although the young lad in charge seemed uninterested and did not appear to leave his seat at the desk although his college (Daniel?) was pleasant and made sure we were looked after. Room was ok, pool was great! Pub had a nice atmosphere.

First impressions of the hotel were good, we went for tea in the pub next door 'waterfold farm' then came back to the hotel, explored and went into the victory pub for a few drinks. For 2 drinks, it cost us £9.40. Scandalous!!
We then went up to our rooms to get an early night. I was awake throughout most of the night due to the beds being too soft, I then woke up with excruciating back ache. This obviously cannot really be worked on as people have many different preferences and cannot be made to suit everybody.
Throughout our visit we wished to watch some television, however it was not so simple to just turn the TV on. Firstly, the TV in the upper deck room was not turning on at all. Once we had contacted the reception and had it fixed, to turn it on, you did not turn switch an on button, you had to press the on button then the down volume button, followed by the up channel button. In the standard twin room, the TV would turn on but on every channel it was fuzzy and was impossible to understand anything being said or shown on the screen.
We left for breakfast at 9am but when leaving our room we placed the sign on our bedroom door saying 'v sleepy, please do not disturb' so do not come into our bedroom as it does not need cleaning.
Our breakfast was not to the standard I was expecting. One of the toast conveyors were broken and the others heat settings had been messed with so much one piece of toast would burn and the next would be barely brown. The bacon was all grease and fat. There was only orange juice to drink, no apple, cranberry or strawberry juice, we did not get offered any hot drinks. Overall we were disappointed with our breakfast.
After our breakfast, we came up to our bedroom and found that both of our rooms had been entered by the maids. Our beds were made and our possessions had all been moved. We were so disappointed in this as we had left possessions in here such as our phones, purses, cameras and jewellery. Fortunately, none of our possessions were missing but that is missing the point. We were apologised too and was offered a complimentary Starbucks coffee each.
Later in the day all four of us 18 year old girls went to the swimming pool, only to be asked for ID to prove that we were over 18. We then had to go back to our room to get our ID. When we eventually got into the swimming pool, we found that their were many people under the age of 18, so we didn't really see the point in us needing to prove our age.
All four of us were booked in for SPA treatments at 3pm. 2 of us for full body massages, 1 for a neck back and shoulder massage and another for a dermalogica facial. All of which were fantastic.

The Village Hotel looks a magnificent and large structure and I know the bedrooms are as advertised. The gym is very busy having little local competition and hereby lies the problem. The reception is small with a ridiculously small lounge area. There is little seating and the tables are too large, allowing for one occupant to populate a table for four. The upholstered seating is used by members of the gym, often clearly after a workout leaving the imagination to run riot with running sweat, smelly bodies and upholstery. This leaves no seating for the meeting populace.
The reception area has a small Starbucks again primitively furnished with plain metal furniture, all high stools, high tables, small tables for two and uncomfortable chairs. Very poor for a Starbucks compared to their usual standards. Surprisingly they charge Motorway Service Area prices to sit in discomfort.
There is an outside terrace maintained by Starbucks with access directly into the coffee shop. I was forced to insist on the metal tables being cleaned. The one I occupied had stains indicating the use of ten cups and therefore had not been cleaned for well over an hour. The ashtrays were overflowing.
I only hope the bedrooms and restaurant have a higher standard of cleanliness than the ground floor area.
