This is a decent location for a business meeting, just off the motorway network, ample parking and easy to find a quiet corner for business discussions as well as a choice for lunch, coffee etc
Would recommend

We have stayed at the Village in Bury since it opened 15 years ago. On this occasion - although a pleasant stay - we noticed how tired it was looking. A very dark interior greeted us - the decor of slate grey walls and flooring does not give a particularly ambient welcome. The bedroom corridors also are beginning to look shabby. The dark red painted doors and carpeting stripes of dark red, slate grey and paler grey are not good. Whilst our room was comfortable, again the slate grey decor made it appear dark and gloomy. The furniture is beginning to look desperately in need of replacement. HOWEVER - the bathroom absolutely takes the biscuit !!!!! The interior has never been replaced since the hotel was built - still having the original wall tiles we vividly remember. The basin was absolutely appalling having three very large cracks in it with one going from the sink plus right up to the rim. These were old cracks as they were very discoloured. Not a nice welcome at all. We did report our findings to reception and were offered a change of room, but as we were staying for only 2 days, we declined this. Also, a number of floor tiles were cracked. The bath panel was badly chipped all along the lower edge. We were told that the bathrooms were due to be refurbished and this can not be too soon as 15 years of use and abuse is probably just a year or two over the limit.
On a positive note, the breakfast buffet was far better than the last time we stayed at this hotel. There was a very good selection of fruit, such as grapefruit, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and fruit compote plus lovely danish pastries and the usual cereals. A really good choice of full English Breakfast food also and for once, the bacon was cooked really well and not just shown the grill !!!! The waitress service was helpful and friendly.
On the whole we really enjoyed our break but very much let down by the somewhat shabby room and awful state of the bathroom.
Would stay here again, as it is very convenient for us and within easy working distance of the town.
On this trip we did not use the health club.

Hotel is lovely however a bit dated, what makes it worth coming back to is the quality of service, everyone at the reception desk is really helpful.
Bar staff is amazing, especially Yasmin and Stuart, both very polite and attentive :)
Breakfast staff was also very nice.
Breakfast itself is whatever you could wish for in hotel breakfast :)

Unfortunately this hotel chain has become a faceless same old same old with the usual decor and tired upholstery. Directions to the relevant event room were non existent so we had to queue at reception (only one person serving) just to ask which way to go. The customer in front of us had an issue with his bill so it was a lengthy wait for something that could have been avoided with a notice board.
Drinks at the bar extortionate for the quality of hotel, more akin to the 5* hotels I use in London.

Stayed for a wedding reception here recently and do agree with other reviewers that the quality of some rooms is not what you expect and I hope that the refurbishment will be finished soon. It is a pity that hotels still allow TVs in each room as to be honest most don't watch them though our neighbours did - until 3 in the morning annoyingly. I know that some hotels have TVs with a limited sound range which is a reasonable compromise.
The staff from beginning to end were all friendly and very helpful. The food served at the reception was absolutely first class. The prices at the bar we thought pretty reasonable. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.

Arrived over an hour early for check in, but this wasn't a problem and we went to our room on the upgraded ( £10 extra p/p ) upperdeck. The room was very nice, and the shower and bath were both fine with water as hot as you needed it. The bed was extremely comfortable. I went for a massage in the spa. The staff were very polite and professional, but not overly sociable, except for the girl who done my facial later....I must admit to being very impressed with the treatments. The A/C in the hotel didn't appear to be working and this did make the spa area a little too warm. In the evening we dined in the restaurant. Having had our orders taken, we had to wait quite some time for the starters to arrive, and had an even greater wait for the main courses. All in all the meal took over 2 1/2 hours and with a cold breeze coming from an open window ( A/C not appearing to be working again ) , my partner had to go back to the room for a cardigan. The food though was excellent, and the waitress did give us a free round of drinks for the wait during courses. In the morning we awoke to find only the emergency and bathroom lighting were working. We missed breakfast, so I can't comment. This hotel could be so much better with a little effort. I am undecided as to whether I would return.

Living social voucher was used and we had a great day using the pool and jacuzzi, then had 2 treatments. We found the staff around the pool and in the treatments rooms very friendly, especially Molly who gave me my treatments. Would definitely recommend this place.

I have stayed at this hotel many times since it opened as I have family in the area and it is located perfectly for reaching them. I have to admit I was a little worried after I booked when I read some of the negative comments and reviews, but I can only speak as I find and I had no major complaints about our stay.
I arrived about an hour early for check in but that was not a problem and check in was swift and no issue staff very polite and helpful. Twin room was clean and tidy not huge but perfectly adequate for our needs. Beds were really comfortable and we both slept very well with very little noise to disturb us. Shower pressure was great and water lovely and hot only negative I have with the bathroom is the shower is over the bath and I don't like that on a safety point in case I slip but there is a grab rail also it does become rather warm as no extractor fan. Also disappointed with the limited TV channels available I would have thought in this day and age at least a full freeview package would be standard, but on a positive the free wifi is super and no issue with speed etc.
Love being able to use the gym and leisure facilities great range of equipment and classes and it's fab you are able to attend classes as a hotel guest. Some of the machines are in need of either replacing or repairing as I did have a few attempts to find a bike in full working order but this is only a minor point and on the whole I still found it a great facility.
Breakfast was super an excellent selection of items on offer from hot and cold and I was pleased to find the kitchen happy to provide porridge on request made to order and with not much of a wait either. Usual cereals, muesli, granola, fruit, yoghurt, juices, bread for toasting and pastries on offer for cold buffet, and hot selection had the usual sausage, black pudding, eggs, beans, has Browns, mushrooms etc no complaints from either of us on the breakfast. We also ate in the Pub and found the staff there friendly and helpful and meals were tasty and arrived with not long a wait especially recommend the pizzas and burgers and fish pie.
In summary I would still stay here again as it is a perfect location just off the motorway and handy for both Bury and Heywood. I think I got good value for what I paid. Yes the paintwork could do with touching up here and there and maybe some areas need a wee bit of DIY but on the whole still a nice hotel.

Stayed whilst visiting a friend in the area to celebrate her 40th. Room rate was very reasonable however the room was a little tired and very dark especially when trying to do hair and makeup. Breakfast was fine but quite dark and gloomy in certain areas of the restaurant. The reception staff were all lovely , friendly and helpful. Added bonus of a pool. I think they need a refurb to compete with premier inn now as we have stayed in several of these now and they are a lot more modern for the same kind of price. The leisure facilities are the only advantage unless they spruce up the rooms and bathrooms. On both nights there was a lot of noise from outside and the corridor as we were overlooking the car park . To be fair they did offer to move our room but it was a bit late and couldn't be bothered. The window seal had all come off so the noise on the first night was quite loud however they did send someone to repair it. Would restay if it was refurbished but if in area again would just look for nearest premier inn .

Had a great night here. Room comfortable and clean... Pity it overlooked a flat roof though 😞
Basic toiletries tea and coffee offerings... I'd rather see brands.
Lighting was cosy and bed was soft, blinds kept light out so we had a great nights sleep. Breakfast was very good apart from lump of fat in sausage .... Lots of choice including pancakes and pastries. Real coffee thank goodness!
Staff were friendly, chatty and approachable.
Look out for a good deal and stay here. Shopping and night out in bury were good and we felt very relaxed overall
