Staff absolutely great, service was second to non, highly recommend this hotel.

We found this hotel not very family friendly i'm afraid . Family room No 129 was over the front of the pub and we were kept awake by revellers until 2.40 am. No kids allowed in bar after 9.30, we were ushered to reception with our drinks where we were advised by other members of staff to make it our last drink and to take the kids to the room ! Not Happy ! Also room had a mouldy smell .

Stayed while working in the area as there are no Holiday Inn's in the area.

This pub/hotel is a mile out of town so the pub is more like a suburban local with lovely old regulars. The beer range and quality is very good and the food the two times I have stayed has been very good.

Both rooms I stayed in have been OK solid rooms in which I slept well. One (a single) had a bath & shower, the other (a double) just a shower. Staff are friendly and I am already booked to return.

The best bit is the price. My 2 stays have both cost less than £60 for room, beer, evening meal and breakfast AND I can safely say the beer has been the best I have ever tasted in a hotel and the Steak was also probably one of the best - definatley when it only cost £9.00 with a drink!

Also, as it is a Wetherspoons, there is free wifi in the bar

Well we certainly didn't book to stay at a Wetherspoon's Lodge!

We were sent here by the Crown at Worthington who had totally lost our booking from 5 months previous :-(
We were HORRIFIED when we arrived here having booked a country inn close to the venue of the wedding we were attending.....
BUT - the girl on reception was most helpful and knew we were running very late for a wedding.
The room was extremely small, we kept bumping into each other as there was no room to walk.....but there were loads of plugs, extra pillows, clean towels, tea & coffee making equipment and a small flatscreen TV.

The beds were very comfortable - the bedding was clean but somehow felt very slightly damp to me - unless there was a plastic sheet underneath it but I didn't have time or inclination to have a look incase I saw something I didn't like! We were late for the wedding.....

The bathroom was extremely basic but was clean and functioning and there was a very hot towel rail - situated right next to the toilet so mind your legs!! :-)

There were only 2 coffee sachets and 2 teabags - a bit stingy in a twin room.
The corridor outside smelt a bit fusty - and the room did too really....

We returned late evening from the wedding and the pub downstairs was heaving with people and we imagined it was going to be a hellish experience - however, we found a free parking space in the car park and when we retired for the night we never heard a sound!!

So in fairness, although it is not the sort of place we would choose to stay and not where we wanted to be - it was a pretty decent experience. Nothing to worry about although
Reception was always deserted so I did feel anyone could have walked on up the stairs.

I wouldn't choose to stay there and I wouldn't stay there again if we were in Wigan. It's nowhere near as good as a Travelodge - but it was ok. Nothing more, nothing less.
