Comfortable, welcoming and relaxing I love the Last Drop Inn
I’ve stayed a few times in recent years
It’s very dog friendly and the setting is lovely
The food and beverage service could do with a boast
The staff, whilst lovely, could really benefit from customer service and product training

Okay spa hotel in good location Second visit in 3 years but not sure we'll return. Nice modern rooms in a cosy hotel convenient for visiting Manchester, Liverpool and the surrounding areas. Good spa facilities and decent food in the bar/restaurant. Staff generally good, especially some of the younger ones. Beds are comfortable and the rooms are a decent size with good amenities. Breakfast was disappointing this time: modest continental selection and the hot food, while served to order, was average quality (fatty bacon and cheap tasting sausages). Tea served in tiny pots (though you do get free refills). The lady who seated us most mornings was rather severe and could do with being more friendly.

You have to pre-book the spa facilities between 1-7pm but they don't police this well, so it's often overcrowded at peak times. Also, the sauna/steam rooms are never very hot. The changing room floors are dirty and don't seem to get cleaned regularly.

We stayed over New Year's Eve and found the entertainment and food pretty poor, so won't be doing that again.

We visited Last Drop over New Year's Eve 2025/26. It was our second time at the hotel in three years, but overall it seems to be going downhill and I'm not sure we'll return.

Starting with the good bits: the hotel looks great and is in a great location for visiting Manchester, Liverpool and the surrounding area. Our room was clean and comfortable, with a bath+shower, tea/coffee facilities etc. The room got nice and warm if we turned the radiator up, though it did make some funny noises while heating.

The staff were, in general, friendly and welcoming and the food and drinks in the bar area were decent. There's a good amount of parking at the hotel and it's in a nice area on the edge of a new housing estate with some grassy areas to walk around.

Next, the not so good: breakfast was overall disappointing. The selection of continental food is mixed and the hot food, while served to order, is poor quality - fatty bacon and cheap sausages. The beans and hash browns are the best bit. The service for hot food can also be slow, with some guest being served ahead of those who sat down before them. The older lady who seated us most days always had a severe look and wasn't very friendly - the younger staff were actually better and more welcoming.

The spa, which was a highlight of our previous visit, has gone downhill. Firstly, you have to pre-book a time slot between 1-7pm, presumably to avoid overcrowding, but this isn't policed very well so it's usually packed late afternoon/early evening. The sauna/steam rooms are lukewarm (possibly due to the amount of people opening and closing the doors all the time). The changing room floors are often filthy and don't seem to get cleaned regularly.

For New Year's Eve, we paid £25 each for their entertainment. The band were okay but the 'street food' felt like an afterthought and wasn't good value (£8.95 for a few lukewarm nachos in a cardboard box).

Overall, we made the best of our visit and did have a good time, but the difference between our first visit and this time is enough to tell me that it's heading in the wrong direction, probably as a result of cost-cutting measures. I don't think we'll be back anytime soon.

Lovely night away. friendly staff, good food, nice atmosphere and lovely pool/spa facilities Everything to do with our stay was good. Great atmosphere, nice swimming pools, good food and friendly staff Wasn't a massive fan of the breakfast but only because we like our bacon very well done and the coffee was very strong. we did ask for the bacon well done but I understand it was very busy

we had a spa day with treatment and afternon tea here the treatment and spa was fantastic with lovely staff, the place is beautiful and clean and great atmosphere, the only thing that stands out and it shouldn't have is the waitress serving our afternoon tea was rude and we was sat in the empty resturant with no music instead of the lovely relaxing bar area. would definitely book again though

Winter spa experience. Lovely hot stones massage. Very pleasant masseur called Geraldine.
The steam room was good and the indoor/outdoor infinity pool was lovely and warm.
All was good until a group of rowdy young men came jumping in filming each other in the outdoor pool. They were loud and rude and continued to film each other even after a request from a young woman to stop.
Not sure if it was worth £75 and I won’t return.

Adequate for our needs on this occasion It was a quaint set up at Bolton with quirky small businesses around the main hotel. The spa and gym looked popular although I didn’t use it. Main reception was inviting and staff helpful The bed was uncomfortable for me and the pillows dirty from Ill fitted covers

Cheap and cheerful The spa was nice, the evening meal in the restaurant was nice. The rooms are very tired and require some updating, also, the pub could do with a refurbishment

The location, the meal in clocktower was very nice and breakfast the following morning , did have to ask 3 times for coffee with breakfast , just a couple of niggling things , but the stsy very pleasant. No communication, between staff , the room allocated to us had not been vacated previous guest stayed another night so we were given the key to that room, then given another room but was on the next level , but was not asked if we were okay with stairs ,in the new room one of the glasses in the bathroom was dirty ,we only had 1 large towel we inly notice late in the evening this room seem to be for single occupancy,.we changed our booking for our evening meal from the pub to the restaurant but when arriving at the restaurant both booking still stood ..
The bedside light didn't work properly .
Breakfast was very busy ,forgot to bring our coffee and had to ask 3 times for it.
But all above didn't spoil our stay for the one night it was very nice and welcoming would consider staying again .
