Best Western Manchester Bury Bolholt Country Park Hotel

If you pay £10 per dog they can stay in your room, so that was good. Being charged an extra £10, for arriving before 2.00 was not. Drinks were very expensive, but food was good. Spa had been updated and was lovely, but a long walk from hotel and needed better lighting to get to and from as it goes dark after 4.00. Think it would be better in Spring as quite stark in winter . Sat nav did not work for here and drove round and round for quite a while, so ask for directions without sat nav when you book. Breakfast was £8.95 each , so make sure when you book not direct with hotel that is included. Went to a wedding party and they had charged £10.95 per child for buffet, which was beans, chips, pizza and chicken nuggets--so thought that WAS expensive especially when children were 4 and 5 !! Disco could have been a lot better, as dance music was not very modern and some really silly music played! less

I’d say the 3 star rating is an accurate reflection of this hotel. It’s ok. Easy enough to find from Bury. Plenty of car parking. Friendly staff. Rooms are warm and mine looked nice - made an effort with the bed cushions and decor ... but the bathroom could have done with a proper clean. The door handle on the shower was disgusting. It looks like years of not being cleaned properly. The shower tray etc was ok but when you started to look around at the harder to reach areas, then it was dirty. Made me wonder about the cleanliness of the kettle handle, remote control and hairdryer. Towels were ok. Good size and good condition. Walls are thin and can be noisy at times. Guess that just depends on the guests ... so not much can be done about it. Bar area ok - nice comfy sofas and TV - but seems if football is on, then that’s what everyone has to watch. Glasses in the bar not clean - had to send mine back. Food ok. Nothing special. A la Carte menu available but it was expensive for what it was and a 3 star hotel. They’ve got you really though as it’s convenient to stay in when you’ve been travelling or working. Nice to have the gym and beauty salon. Managed to use them and they are probably the reason they have 3 stars rather than 2 due to the facilities. As I said, it’s ok. It’s cheap and does the job. I’d stay again as it’s convenient for work but it’s not somewhere I’d choose for anything special if I wanted all things perfect or of a high standard. Last week mainly BT Open Reach men staying there. Clearly good customers for the hotel. Just makes the car park look like a works depot though with all the vans! No problems though. less

We have been for the last 7 years at New year we stay overnight the rooms are warm and cosy the management and staff are so friendly and the food was excellent we always have a great night we will be booking again this year . less

We were visiting family for the weekend and needed somewhere close-by to stay. We were greeted on arrival and check in was very smooth. First night was excellent, got lots of sleep, the beds were extremely comfortable (our 7 year old loved that she’d got a double sofa bed all to herself!) We experienced a minor issue at breakfast as there was a mix up with the orders but was eventually resolved (the sausages are amazing!) Whilst hubby and daughter took advantage of the swimming pool, which they tell me is fantastic... I showered in our room....well I tried to, but a watering can would’ve provided more pressure. What should’ve taken 10 minutes took almost an hour. The room was a fantastic size for a family with a lovely view of the lake and gardens. On our second night we found that a wedding reception was taking place in the lounge (directly below our room).......very loud music until after 12.30am, then shouting/cackling guests leaving at 1.30am. When we approached reception we were offered late check out, which was helpful given we’d got a 5 hour drive ahead of us. Despite the water and noise problems we experienced I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. Friendly staff, beautiful grounds and fantastic facilities. Just sort out the water pressure in the bathrooms please :) less

Oh wow .. I simply can’t get over this place. Arrived with my Husband greeted at Reception and checked in everything explained to us, we decided to pop to our room beautiful decor stylish in a country style. We grabbed our swim wear and went to spend the afternoon in the Stables leisure facility which has two pools three jacuzzis and two saunas and steam rooms we swam for a while enjoyed the bubbles in the jacuzzi relaxed in the sauna & steam rooms what a great way to wind down during the Xmas Holiday time. We finished up and went to change in our Hotel room went into the large spacious comfy lounge bar with a welcoming fire and wrote out our Xmas cards whilst having a few drinks Hubby on Beers whilst I enjoyed flavoured Gins. After this we went to our room got ready for our Dinner Date and the food was absolutely awesome we really enjoyed eating together we had some wine which went very well the food was of a very high standard and was artfully put together the flavours and textures were very pleasing we really savoured the meal. We stayed for the night had a brilliant comfortable nights sleep and breakfast was great the next Morning. I love this place I’m definitely getting Hubby bringing me here again faultless and enjoyed it thoroughly I certainly will recommend it to anyone come here enjoy it all 😍 less
