Fancied something a bit different for Christmas this year, so thought I'd have a spa break. I've stayed at the Last Drop twice before and loved it.

Can't say what the treatments are like, I just go for the pool, saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzi and of course the outdoor heated infinity pool! As it's available to the public, there's a changing room with showers and lockers (you'll need a £1 coin), and you're given a towel on the way in. There are tables and chairs and a couple of loungers around the pool. Through the door into the spa area is for over 16s only and has another 10 or so loungers.

I've stayed in both the main hotel and the courtyard brooms, and really liked both. The main hotel room was very traditional, right down to the creaky floorboards (sorry, people downstairs!) and the courtyard rooms are a more modern style. The room this time was spacious with a really comfy double bed, wardrobe, dressing table, wall-mounted TV and tea/coffee making facilities. The bathroom was clean, with a fabulous waterfall shower.

The hotel staff were brilliant, everyone worked really hard to make sure guests could just relax, which was much appreciated.

I'll definitely be back!

The rooms here are lovely,12 of us came to visit just after Christmas. However as we all sat down to an evening meal the food was not enjoyable and cold, and the service was slow, and we went through 2 courses without any drinks. The steak was not cooked properly up to standard and the orders were taken wrong, so all of the meals were mixed up, and for the price paid and supplement included we expected a bit more than cold food and undercooked steaks. Some of the deserts were forgotten and the staff were not engaging or friendly. Nice stay but overly disappointed with the restaurant.

Had another fantastic Zumba Christmas Party at the Last Drop on 1st December. This was made extra special though due to Jane and Niamh who worked amazingly hard all night and are an absolute credit to the hotel. Thank you ladies x

Fantastic reception team both in the hotel and spa, very helpful and welcoming, from booking to leaving. Brilliant treatment I wish I could remember who I received my massage from although I feel the the treatment rooms and spa area need updating or at least painted. Our room was old and tired but immaculate and very comfortable. The staff at this hotel are fantastic and really made our stay, the reception area and surroundings are beautiful.
Chef Gareth was outstanding! And went the extra mile to accommodate us being vegan he is an asset to your company.

We were married on 20th December and held our ceremony in the Chetham Suite with our wedding breakfast in the Mimosa Suite. Our stay was fabulous from the moment we checked in on the day before the wedding until we checked out after breakfast on the 21st.
Tara the wedding coordinator was fabulous in the run up to the wedding as well as on the day itself. We ate in the restaurant on the evening before the wedding and had breakfast on the two days during our stay, the food was great. The wedding breakfast food was excellent as was the organisation by the master of Ceremonies Franco who ensured the day ran smoothly and service of the wedding breakfast was very efficient.
We stayed in one of the suites which was very bright, comfortable, clean and well equipped.
I have visited the Last Drop Hotel on many occasions in my role as a Registrar in Bolton conducting marriage Ceremonies but this is the first time I have ever been there as a guest and it definitely won’t be the last as I’ve already made enquiries about holding my 60th birthday family lunch there in February next year.
In the midst of all of this and the rush of the run up to Christmas, the staff at the hotel dealt brilliantly with a sudden influx of guests due to the many flights diverted to Manchester following the drone scare closing Gatwick airport. Breakfast was a little busier on the 21st but everyone was treated as valued guests - well done the Last Drop.

Just had 3 nights stay here, bedroom nice, clean bright. I believe the hotel has had a recent refurb . Comfy bed, decent size tv, only downer, no chair to sit on but not a major problem. Lovely breakfast and staff friendly,efficient and helpful. We will be back

There was a mix up allocating rooms, as we got a double bed but had arranged and paid for a twin room. Staff quickly corrected this. Lovely room clean, tidy and warm. Xmas meal was okay but excellent breakfast. Enjoyed band and disco in Pennine suite. Friendly, helpful staff. Would recommend the package as we got full use of the facilities swimming pool & thermal pool. Could have used gym and sauna but not my thing.

Enjoyed our treatments however it is very expensive for what you get - £45 for a 25 minute treatment, especially when 5 minutes is setting up. The staff were friendly but communication wasn't great and we were slightly confused about what we were doing.

Booked our works Christmas Party here but was very disappointed with the venue.
The Last Drop is a lovely place with lovely function rooms but our function room was the local pub ‘The Drop Inn’.
Don’t expect to pay £33 per head with extortionate drinks prices to be put in a dingy pub with people who could walk in off the street. Couldn’t see the dance floor as we were sat behind a wall.
Only good thing was the food, it was very nice.
Will never book another Christmas Party here, shame on you Last Drop.

Slight difficulty with reception over credit cards. Booked at home with card used only for on-line transactions & not carried with me. Couldn't accept card carried with me, as the booking was with the other card. Cancelled previous charge & recharged with card carried with me but restaurant then wouldn't accept latter card & we had to pay cash! Otherwise great hotel & restaurant. Only thing was the duvets were much too thick for us & we were too hot in bed but that was our personal preference & not the fault of the hotel.

Great feedback thanks Annalee
I'm a regular reviewer on Trip Advisor and am always fair with my reviews I try to see positives more than anything generally.

My friends all clubbed together for my birthday and bought me a £125 gift voucher for the spa.
I booked in for 3 x short treatments including back,neck and shoulder massage, scalp massage and facial then I would have a small meal included.

On first arrival at the spa reception the lady explained how things worked and gave me a dressing gown to get changed into. Although I realised that was the norm I was a little surprised at this as you are walking around with just underwear on underneath the dressing gown and people using the gym were about which I felt uncomfortable around. Again, when walking over to the restaurant for my meal I was assured plenty of people go in the dressing gown yet we walked past tables of business men some of who I knew I felt quite embarrassed being in a robe, that said I understand it's so you still feel that spa vibe.

The treatments I had with Tara who was good and friendly to talk to. I normally like to relax and not speak during treatments but we got on so well we chatted away I didn't mind.
Disappointing she couldn't get the music to work as my idea of a heavenly massage would be to have some light music in the background.
There was no toilet paper in the toilet I had to ask Tara to get me some.
The general surroundings of the leisure facility is quite tired and dated, I agree with a previous reviewer it resembles a council run leisure centre.
I've included a photo where you go to rest after your treatments and have a coffee and although the view was nice my robe stuck to the table and the robe had been nowhere near the treatment products.

Over to the food, I had the Bento Box and it was fab great idea.

Overall I didn't think it was worth £125.
Tara was friendly and the staff in restaurant were nice but the treatments started at 1215 and finished at 1320 back to back I felt it was too quick for this money. Also disappointing to see sign in gym toilet saying members could have any two spa treatments for £50 therefore we paid an extra £75 for one extra short treatment and a bento box.

Not good value for money.
