Best Western Manchester Bury Bolholt Country Park Hotel

We visited last week and on arrival it looked very nice. Lovely river flowing past outside. After we checked in, the cracks started to show. We reached our room to find dirty glasses lying outside. Inside the room was clean and finished to an ok standard. Slight lime scale in the bathroom but not bad for the price. The spa was nice once inside with jacuzzis, steam rooms and sauna but was a slightly inconvenient walk away in the cold and rain. As my boyfriend and I were looking forward to a rare night out, the disappointment really set in during the evening meal. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. The food however was not great. The menu was quite limited however I opted for the steak. At nearly £20 I was expecting great things. This was not the case. The salad was very peppery and scattered with peppercorns - so much so, it made my eyes water and made me sneeze continually. I could not eat it. There was no sauce offered for the chips and they were extremely dry. The steak itself was very tough and completely unappetizing. The expression 'tough as old boots' comes to mind. It's safe to say for the price of a small fortune, we were not impressed with dinner. Unfortunately we cannot comment about breakfast as we decided not to opt for it considering our unpleasant experience in the evening. less

A very nice and relaxing hotel, set back off the road, sharing its grounds with an excellent leisure complex. As a guest of the hotel you can use the leisure complex's facilities free of charge, Including lengths and children's swimming pools, sauna, steam room, weights areas and fitness machines. The rooms are very pleasant and quiet with excellent WIFI. The breakfast is super. The menu for vegetarians is a little lacking but that doesn't detract from a wonderful experience. less

I stayed at this Best Western and found it to be great value and has really friendly staff. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Manchester as its a little drive out but not too far. The food was fantastic and had a great evening watching the sport on the big screen. less

Myself and my husband stayed here for 2 nights Friday-Sunday while visiting family locally. Check in was very easy and the lady on reception was very welcoming and friendly. When we went to our room it all started to go downhill. The room was very basic but clean. However the bathroom floor was very sticky, broken toilet seat, we had dirty marks on our towels. The temperature gauge on the shower was broken / loose so it was a bit of a guessing game. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed i've slept on in a long time, we both woke up constantly throughout the night with back ache. The breakfast was ok we had the hot breakfast buffet. Bacon was really dry as overcooked, cold hard eggs and the amount of oil that was dripping off the mushrooms and eggs was unreal. Such a shame as great location. The staff were all brilliant especially the young man who was working breakfast. I wouldnt stay here again in a hurry. The hole place needs a fit of a refurb. I didnt get time to see the pool and spa area so cannot comment but have heard it is very nice. less

I booked in for a weekend as the hotel was chosen for my friends' wedding. My room was clean and the bed comfortable. The room was very warm but as I realised the following day, you could turn the radiators off! The hotel bar served tasty meals - and I recommend the roast beef and onion gravy baguette. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of edibles to suit everyone. The staff were all great but a particular mention to the chap on late Saturday early morning Sunday, he was brilliant and very efficient. My only negative comments would be that the bar prices are expensive and the pathway to the Stables is unsteady for anyone wearing heels. less
