Located in a charming suburb of Bolton, The Last Drop Village Hotel is ideally situated with a selection of lovely nearby restaurants. Arriving at the hotel through the main gate, I was struck by the appealing exterior and the historic charm that really sets it apart.

The check-in experience was pleasant, thanks to the friendly receptionist, and the reception area had a warm, welcoming feel, as did the bar. I decided to try the food from the bar menu, and it did not disappoint—the chicken wings and burger were both fantastic, well-priced, and perfectly cooked.

However, my stay took a downturn when I got to my room. I had room 306, a superior room, but sadly it was a huge disappointment. The room was in a poor state of repair and in need of urgent refurbishment. Despite the generous space, it didn’t feel clean, with visible stains on the tables and a welcome tray that looked cheap and didn’t even fit the table properly. The bathroom was also dated, although the ESPA toiletries were a nice touch. While there was a large TV on the wall, its placement was odd—not aligned with the bed or the seating area—making it difficult to enjoy a comfortable viewing experience.

The hotel’s spa has great potential and initially looked impressive. Unfortunately, during my visit, it wasn’t fully operational, and from speaking with members, this seems to be a frequent issue. The steam room wasn’t producing any steam and was quite cold, while the sauna was below 60°C, which limited its effectiveness. The small infinity pool was nice in design, but it overlooked the kitchens of the new Sanctuary houses, which took away from the intended relaxing ambiance.

In summary, The Last Drop Village Hotel has a lot of potential, with a unique location, a lovely bar, and fantastic food. However, the rooms are in need of a modernisation, and the spa facilities could benefit from regular maintenance and thoughtful improvements. With some investment in these areas, the hotel would be much more appealing, and I’d be more inclined to return in the future.

Hidden gem I love everything about this place When there was an issue they didn't take the customer into account , there is times when you need to do something different so satisfy a long standing customer

The location is lovely hotel was nice and clean and the staff couldn't do enough for you The mattress was a bit hard but I know everyone is different and I'd have thought breakfast would be included in the price of the room at £129

Happy Place I love this place go often and book work events here also When I had an issue they were so unhelpful

Really enjoyable and lovely surroundings Beautiful location and great staff. Really helpful people. A handrail in the shower

Beautiful stay as always Everything. I love staying here. The duvet in room 13 could do with changing. I stayed on the Friday night. Stripped the bed for the cleaner as I like to help the cleaner out a bit. When I returned 10 days later. Stripped the bedding. Same duvet with orange stain on

It was such a lovely weekend, we went for my grandmas birthday and she loved it! She has an illness which causes her to The property was beautiful, the staff were so accommodating and welcoming. It was very noisy at nighttime, the doors were banging loudly and you could hear everything going on around you while trying to sleep.

Brilliant and amazing

I love photographing weddings at the Last Drop - its one of my most frequented venues, and its easy to see why its the venue of choice for so many of my couples. Lovely surroundings, the quaintness of the village itself (and the picture opportunities it affords!), the size of the ballroom, the options for outdoor ceremonies….the list goes on. And lovely, helpful staff too, which really does make a difference to the day!
Very much recommended if you’re looking for a great wedding venue with a helpful, experienced team!

Had a wonderful overnight stay food, spa and room were lovely would definitely recommend for a relaxing break.

Booked this for my friends birthday. What a place. We have been to various spa hotels and for what we paid here it out shines any of them.
Fantastic staff, room stunning, spa facilities amazing, can tell they maintain the equipment and rooms. Really can not fault the place, breakfast was so nice. If you haven't visited then book.
The thermal pool looking out to the housing estate isn't really that much of an issue but would be the only thing I would change.
Staff very attentive and full of info. I work in hospitality and this place went above and beyond. Could easily do a full weekend here! STUNNING

Needs a million quid to bring up to standard. Not a lot Not enough parking
Potholes in car park
Not enough staff on check in. One lady serving a queue of 6 people while 2 in the back office watching on. Too full of stains and stunk.

Julie in the restaurant and bar was just lovely Clean Nothing

Absolutely brilliant. 🤩 The spar (especially the hydro pool) was absolutely brilliant, so relaxing. Staff were very helpful, room was spacious and clean, extremely comfortable bed. Vegan options were great especially oat milk iced latte.💙

Easy and enjoyed the whole stay All good. I will log it as a location to use another time. Faster ev charger.

I stayed in this hotel a couple of days ago and what a lovely hotel indeed very peaceful and quite area and the rooms are nice and clean comfy beds and the staff are very friendly indeed and the young girl named Jess who work in the restaurant very nice and friendly and has smile on her face and friendly lovely sitting area out the front of the hotel too to sit and have a few drinks or meal too.

Arranged my sisters hen do for 14 of us - overnight package including 2 course meal and breakfast with access to spa facilities. I also paid for a private dining room. It was excellent, from start to finish everyone I spoke to was so helpful. Special shout out to Jess and the catering team serving our evening meal - so approachable and helpful, the food was delightful and everything was served hot and quickly. Breakfast was equally as nice. We only had access to the private dining area until around 9.30 and had to move to the Drop Inn bar at that point. Unfortunately there was no music and the juke box didn’t work, which did put quite an abrupt end to the night as it did dampen the atmosphere a bit. As a group of nearly 40/over 40s we were looking for a raucous evening but some music in the background whilst have a cocktail would have finished the night off nicely. Spa facilities are lovely with a range of sauna and steam rooms. And the actual area/ surroundings itself - reminds me of being in a little town. Really was beautiful!

We had our wedding here April 2025 and we cannot thank the venue and staff enough. Nothing was too much trouble from start to finish, staff were attentive, kind and friendly.
Rooms were lovely and clean, food phenomenal and spa stunning.
Highly recommend here for weddings and a stay in general.
Superb!!!

It was relaxing good staff and excellent spa facilities. Good location spa was excellent meals were good and staff were friendly and helpful. Not as clean as one would expect some areas need minor maintenance (dripping shower).
