I recently dined in the victory pub which is situated inside the village hotel, I asked to see a children's menu which a young man kindly informed me of offers they had on at the time, this was greatly appreciated as it meant my 2 children ate for free! Under 5's eat free! (Excellent)
The only thing to receive this offer was for 1 adult per child to eat at full price, there was me and my husband eating so this was music to our ears, as I went to the bar to order the same young man was quick and efficient to serve me and greeted me with a smile,(I think he was called Dane), I started to place my order, as I started to order my children's meal there seemed to be a problem with the till, the young man explained that he would resolve the situation (I assumed he was a manager as he had a black t-shirt on) he explained what he had to do in order for me to receive this good offer, "fine no problem" was my reply, so I continued to order, as I was ordering a woman wearing the same uniform popped her head round the bar and said very abruptly "you can't do that", she then rambled off a stipulation to me on the offer which meant I had to pay for the drink, "it's not what it says on the menu" was my reply, as though I had just slapped her with a wet fish she expressed an attitude of "I can't be botherd arguing", she then told the POLITE man to "oh just do it" and she stormed off, I made a comment to the man along the lines of "great customer service eh" to which he actually apologised on her behalf which made me feel awful as he had done nothing wrong, I could see he was quite embarrassed by the situation. In the end the man served me exactly what I wanted and the order was complete, his service was quick and friendly, HE was a credit to village, the food was very nice and i will certainly return for more, As for the lady I'm sorry to say but she let the place down. She had a bad attitude and I hope she is not working on my next visit.

I was here last week for a friends 60th birthday,it was my first time here.It is a busy place with lots of others celebrating birthdays and hen nights.The food was average as they were serving for over 200 people they did quite well.The entertainment was the main reason we were all there it was good too,with lots of music for different age groups.I did not stay in the hotel but some of my friends did and they said their rooms were good.The pool area looked lovely too.It is easy to get too off the motorway with ample car parking.

Booked a last minute DBB night away for our Wedding Anniversary and paid just £75. We've always found Village to be good and we weren't disappointed this time. The leisure is particularly good and we used it twice during our stay, the changing facs are large and spotless, also a large pool with plenty of loungers made for a really relaxing couple of hours after breakfast.
Booked a last minute massage at the spa and the treatment from Jess was fabulous and excellent value for money.
We also had a drink in the Victory bar where the barman served my own personally designed cocktail and had dinner in the italian which was tasty.
What stood out at this hotel was the staff, from the bright welcome we recieved at reception, the lovely lady who booked in my massage to the housekeeper who changed the lightbulb all of them were so friendly and a real credit to the hotel.
For a leisure break we just can't fault and we will be back!!

we spent a week - end here for a 60th birthday, we was given a room at the back of the hotel (173) which suited us fine , a pain to find (up a floor in one lift ,along a long corridor then down 2 floors in another lift.) but was worth the messing . the room was spotless , very large and comfy ,beautiful view from room and very , very quiet. Breakfast on saturday morning was excellent , the staff very helpful...Sunday morning the hotel seemed very busy and a bit cramped in the dining area .but you could still get a decent breakfast. we would stay here again no problem.

Booked this really last minute and principally on the price. We were looking to get away near Manchester and this seemed like a good deal.
Needed communicating rooms as the kids had their own room and after a couple of calls direct to the hotel the ultra helpful lady on reception secured this for us.
Arrived at the hotel 8pm on the Sat night. It is a busy hotel and there were two weddings on so the bar was busy as was the reception area. We booked into the Italian themed restaurant for dinner. Again busy, but after 15 mins (were told it would be 20) we were seated and had menus. Food pretty good and service OK.
Our rooms were 266 & 264. These are 'family' rooms which basically means you get a double bed and a settee that converts to a double. Rooms fine, decor perhaps on it's way to becoming tired but OK.
Buffet breakfast next day with good selection of hot and reasonable selection of cold options. Sometimes a bit of a delay by the coffee machine. In the evening we went to the pub next door just for a change.
Had a swim next morning. Huge pool and what looked to be OK leisure facilities although didn't try them.
On balance we had great value for the price we paid (got one room for £69 and the other for £85 incl. breakfast, a Premier Inn might cost you that!
Hotel is busy so it's not really somewhere for a relaxing romantic break. All staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
Would go again.

Stayed at this hotel recently. I found the reception area nice and modern and the reception staff pleasant enough. The room I stayed in was very dark, and had to always keep the lights on. The window in the room was situated above a flat roof - along with the other rooms on the same level. This meant that I felt unsafe to leave my bedroom window open during the night, as it would have been accessible for someone to enter the room through the window should they wish.
The evening food was lovely, cooked very nicely and was also impressed with the breakfast - even though there appeared to be no order and lots of hungry guests!
Would stay again, but would not like to pay more money than what I paid.

Make no mistake this hotel qualifies as a 4* hotel and has everything it needs for the grading. But only just. The rooms are just big enough. The facilities are just OK. There is soap in the rooms, but just enough. Its OK as a business hotel, with free wifi and a passable restaurant (with an OK but not "WOW" breakfast buffet). And to be fair the leisure club and pool are very nice and well equipped.
Note for disabled visitors - like all Village hotels there is a huge flight of stairs at the front with a very pokey lift around the corner (which you will need to use if you have a lot of luggage anyway). We had a disabled room (quite by chance) with extra wide door and accessible bathroom. OK but not the best I have ever seen.
Finally, this particular Village has cornered the Bury market for Hen nights and low cost package weddings. Over the weekend we were there there were at least 3. If you are looking for a quiet break - this will probably not be your venue of choice.
On the upside the hotel is well priced for North Manchester and it is only a 10 minute drive into Prestwich and a further 10 from there to the City Centre and very convenient for getting to the Peaks, Dales and even the lake District (just 90 minutes when we did it).
Just dont expect a classy hotel. It is 4* and good value, but only just

Just return from a 2night break in this hotel. Great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the hotel. We had meal in the Italian restaurant the first night which was gorgeous. Alcohol slightly higher than last year when we stayed but its to be expected. Only don side if I was to nit pick was the toaster of a morning u have to put the bread in twice before it goes brown. This is a pain more so when it's busy. Other than that all I can say is WE WILL B BK!!!!

Just returned from a weekend package deal at this hotel for my sisters 60th birthday, there were 10 of us in five rooms they put us all next door to eachother which was great, the rooms were wonderful lots of modern decor with hairdryer and even an ironingboard/iron, we had a three course meal which was gorgeous followed by an evening of entertainment from a tribute band and a disco, we all had a fantastic night followed by a full english breakfast the next morning and full use of the leisure centre and swimming pool, all this for £57.50 per person the staff were so kind and helpful every one of them nothing was too much trouble for them. we all enjoyed it and cant wait to stay there again thankyou to all of you and keep up the good work
