I stayed for 1 night in a family room with my husband, child and baby and was pleasantly surprised with the room. The bed was comfortable and big and we also had a sofa aswell. The size of the room was fine for all of us and was clean. The bathroom was of a good standard; the bath was a good size and my husband used the shower and said the flow was good and the water was lovely and hot. The things that could be improved with the room is a just a little updating with the furntiure and tv. The pillows were also very bulky and not that comfortable.

We ate our evening meal in the restaurant and the food was tasty! I had the beef cobbler and the meat was lovely and tender. It could have been better if they had a childs menu but the chef made a few recommendations for us and made a ciabatta pizza for our daughter. Breakfast was good aswell with plenty of buffet options and a freshly cooked breakfast if required.

All the staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay.

This hotel is dated,dirty and expensive.All the furnishings are worn,ripped and cheap.The bar is expensive ie pint of cider and black £3.90.The rooms are full of cheap pine and you could slide a dinner tray under the door.The bedding/towels etc are old and tatty,the shower water warm and the toilet/bathroom very rough.Good job my friends put a good party on and the breakfast was acceptable or my stay would of been totally ruined.Put simple faulty towers.Would not return.

I stayed here as I had a very early meeting in Bury and it was closest. I think this hotel has seen better days and looks a bit tired. There is a photo of John Major visiting in the foyer and I think he would be a good representation of the hotel; grey and boring. I made a reservation through the best western website a couple of nights before, but when I arrived the reception staff when they eventually got around to talking to me (only one girl on, and she was on the phone) found no details of it because it is now a lavender hotel - it took me over 30 minutes to check in. When I eventually got to my room which was down a corridor, up a flight of steps, around another corridor, up some more steps and through a couple of fire doors propped open with fire extinguishers it was red hot as the heating was on full chat. I tried to open the window but it only opens a few inches due to the bars on the outside. I did have a meal in the restaurant which wasn't that great for how much it was, and the service was dire with the waitress verging on being a bit rude. I went for a walk in the surrounding park area. Be warned there is an unsecured gate out the front of the hotel which leads to a nice pond area. At night this area is not very well lit and is somewhat unkept with a lot of uneven ground so and an unguarded lake. Just be warned if visiting with children as I saw no liferings or other life saving equipment. The room itself was a good size with good furnishing (double bed, sofa, dressing table) with suede curtains in an attempt to lift the decor, however these were badly chemically stained by bleach or similar so looked tatty. The bathroom was a bit of a dive, with mould in the grout and several cracked tiles. Had to run round in the shower the water flow was that bad and it wasn't particularly hot.

Stayed here for one night. Hotel pleasent enough looking. Reception girl was excellent. There is a nice heatlh club which is located in another building a couple of minutes away. Room nice enough. Four poster bed looked nice but very small and extremely soft. Shower was luke warm so i had a bath which was very hot. Had evening meal in bar area which was nice. Breakfast was not very nice though. Had scrambled egg which was horrible. However the staff are very nice and helpful so overall i would say it ok to stay there.
