Nice hotel friendly staff pool bit cold but soon got used to it outdoor spa great would recommend rooms a little dated but nice food very good lovely views from hotel nice for a walk round the grounds

Pleasant village set up, hard to navigate for a conference, but fun to explore. Had bath, which is a hotel treat these days, free WiFi and USB ports for phone chargers. Friendly and helpful staff. Best place in Bolton!

My friend and I arrived for our midweek spa break unsure what to expect - It was our first ever spa break so we had nothing to compare it to. When we checked in, we found we’d been given the complimentary room upgrade promised when you book direct. We were directed to our executive room once the reception staff had explained the spa, confirmed our treatment times & made our dinner reservations for the hotel restaurant (included in our break).

Next, we set off to our room. The hotel is a series of 17th ventury refurbished buildings, so we did have to go outside briefly to get to our room - this wasn’t an issue though and the grounds and paths were amazingly well maintained.

Once in our room, we were very happy with what we found. Both beds were super comfy, there was plenty of wardrobe (and floor) space, it was decorated to a high standard and the bathroom had a bath and shower, so we were both happy!

We weren’t sure whether we had to go to the spa in our clothes and change there, or go down in swimwear & dressing gowns but decided on the latter to save time. Upon arriving, we were advised there were lockers which required a refundable £1 coin to lock. You can get towels from the desk at the spa too, so you don’t need to use your room’s towels. (I'd recommend changing down there if I were you).

The Spa changing room was clean and well equipped. The main pool was lovely too. Once into the spa, Last Drop Village went from a good hotel to actual heaven. The hydrotherapy pool was hot tub temperature - easily 38-40 degrees. There were intermittent jets and a waterfall too. In the inside section, you could sit down on standard L shaped seats and have your back blasted by the jets, or opt for jet-free contoured seats in a more reclined position in the outdoor infinity side of the pool. (See - I told you it was heaven)! There were more L shaped Jet covered seats outside too. The outdoor section had a roof and walls to 3 sides, but the 4th side was open, which allowed views over the local countryside and the hotel grounds.

The spa area had 6 therapy rooms you could use any time - 2 types of sauna, one steam room, one aromatherapy steam room and two others which were cooler, but I can't recall their names. The aromatherapy steam room was our favourite - it was pumping out a mild eucalyptus in the steam and really cleared your airways and mind.

There’s a water fountain within the spa area, or you can go upstairs to the chillout zone and enjoy free water, orange juice or hot drinks. Our spa treatments were booked for 4.30pm. We were greeted in the chillout zone by our therapists and both treated to an amazing facial each. My therapist listened to my skin issues and chose the best suited products for my dry, sensitive skin. It was bliss!

Once we’d showered and got ready to eat, we headed down to the restaurant a little early, so we went to the bar. The staff were super friendly and brought our drinks over to us along with the bill for them - prices were on par with Manchester City Centre restaurants.

Our meals were fantastic - I’m vegetarian, and as well as the two veggie main course options on the standard menu, I was given the vegan menu to see. (Pictures below). The bar and restaurant staff couldn’t do enough for us. We didn't feel rushed at all, and waiting times were around 10 minutes for our starter, then around 5 minutes after our bowls were cleared away, our main course arrived. 5 minutes after our dessert orders were taken, our choices arrived, and were delicious! We paid for our drinks at the end of our meal, and didn't have to get up to order refills as we ate, thanks to the attentive service staff.

We went up to our room at this point and had an amazing night's sleep. We woke feeling super refreshed and headed down for breakfast, planning on just having toast so we could head back into the spa afterwards before checking out.

One look at the continental breakfast and self serve buffet, and we both knew we were eating more than we'd planned! My friend opted for a full English, while I had a bowl of fruit with natural yogurt, a slice of toast and some mini pastries - delicious! There's also a menu you can order your breakfast from, if you prefer.

We headed to reception after eating to check when we could use the spa until.... We were advised we had to check out of our room at 11am but were free to use the facilities all day. We packed our bags, loaded them into the car and then went to check out (at 9am). We then went back down to the spa with just our swimming things and enjoyed the spa facilities all morning, before heading out to explore the shops within the village.

Roly the Bulldog made my day, sat outside the boutique watching everyone milling around - he was such a good boy! We had an ice cream and a pot of tea in the Tea Room before finally saying goodbye to Last Drop - for now at least!

Sorry for waffling on in this review - Congratulations if you made it this far! I'm sure you've already guessed I'd highly recommend visiting Last Drop - I'm already planning a spa day for hubby and I's wedding anniversary in June, as well as a girls spa break for myself and some of my mum friends.

Beautiful hotel with excellent facilities. Stayed in room 80 which was over and above what I expected. Stunning room, beautifully decorated and very spacious and comfortable. Staff were excellent throughout the hotel and spa and the spa itself is the best I've visited... Spotlessly clean and totally relaxing.

Would definitely recommend & return. Had a lovely restful stay. Swimming pool & spa excellent. Fabulous food & friendly staff

The spa was lovely and relaxing.

We loved this hotel at first, such a beautiful collection of old buildings - like a chocolate box style English village. Sadly the food was not amazing, plus one of the party had a hair in our food. We didn't want to make a fuss, but thought it best to say. Whilst we got an apology, there was no attempt to recompense us for the half eaten meal. Food and service could be better - which is such a shame for such an interesting and unique hotel.

Very friendly staff, I stayed with my 4 year old daughter, she loved the swimming pool.
Special thanks to Jordanna, girl at the bar / restaurant,always checking we were ok and always with a smile. Valued member of staff.
Will stay here again.

We were attending my sisters wedding and I felt that the service especially at breakfast was very poor.
An excellent staff member greeted us in check in and made arrangements for our room to be on the ground floor as we had a small baby. After this the service went down hill.
At breakfast the following morning a lady called Isabel was in charge. She had no idea about customer service or how to make customers feel at ease. She was very obstructive in her manner. The staff at breakfast were keen on seating us away from our family and wedding party. Despite the wedding being in the hotel there was no attempt to keep an area of seating at breakfast reserved for the wedding guests. I think this is poor.
Despite insisting where we sat nobody came to take our food or drinks order or to explain the menu. The staff had to be called over and seemed oblivious to what was required.
This department needs significant improvement.

Weather was lovely
Food was delicious
Spa was fantastic
Had a really good time

This was a last minute booking. Our room was on the ground floor and very quite. Breakfast is highly recommended. The hotel also as a wonderful spa.

Overall experience was good but slightly spoiled by a wedding at the venue. It was almost impossible to sleep because of noisy guests who seemed to be coming and going from thier rooms all night. I were to go again I would ask if there were any weddings or events on so I could avoid those days.

Room spotlessly clean, staff were lovely,very helpful, couldn’t fault the pool area,staff constantly cleaning & checking water. Food was delicious. Great time had by all.

Had a lovely stay a very accommodating Hotel nice Breakfast, staff very helpful.

Use this hotel regularly and generally service and hotel top-notch. Currently under re-furbishment , restaurant and ground floor lobby - rather untidy though rooms as always excellent. Modern clean and contemporary, Breakfast very good . Gym - excellent. upon arrival , receptionist seemed rather slow and out of her depth .... just taking card authorisation and needed to go and find assistance .
overall good and I would recommend for the gym and food alone .

I can't thank Stephen and his team enough for the continued support from the Last Drop hosting our Dynamic business networking event each month. They have looked after us for 2 years and have accommodated the continued growth of our meetings. We've had the pleasure of using the majority of the different meeting and function rooms on the site, even the huge Pennine suite, giving all our attendees an insight into the variety of facilities available at this fantastic hotel. The place is always spotless and service is exceptional. Thanks again and here's to our 3rd year with you.

Amazingly beautiful surroundings. Perfect location, perfect staff, so much comfort. Bar, cafe, spa brilliant. Cannot fault.

Thus hotel has everything you can ask for. From a bar, to cafe, spa and swimming pool. Beautiful surroundings, lots of comfort and professional staff who do there job amazingly.

Couldn't be happy with how my sister was treated on her big day. The staff were completely on point and couldn't have done more for my sister. Plenty of facilities, good food and beautiful surroundings.

Awesome customer service. All staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Great atmosphere, fantastic surroundings and facilities. Staff could not do any more, brilliant

Had a beautiful stay. Staff couldn't have been more accomadating. Perfect location for a wedding. Very warm and cosy.

Such lovely service from every single staff member. Special mention to Sarah, supervisor and Caitlin in the tea shop, very good service all the time.

Rooms need a bit of updating but overall good stay. Friendly staff

Staff were professional and attentive and the food was great. Room was really spacious and the beds lovely. Only issue was the slight hum and drone of various air-conditioning units, which made sleeping quite hard. And the shower sounded as if it wanted to take off for 5 minutes before it was usable.

Attended a wedding here and it was excellent. All food was served piping hot to all the guests. All 3 courses were delicious. Wedding was well organised and all had a lovely day. There is lots of parking both at the spa and the main hotel at the front and a large car park at the rear for events. Drinks are very expensive though
