The one thing about this hotel is the staff who are always friendly and engaging,rooms are clean and beds are very comfortable.
Unfortunately the rooms let it down, of course the hotel has been in lockdown for most of the past year so I would have thought that would have been an excellent time to sort out repairs.
My booking had 2 rooms and between these 2 rooms I found issues with a badly cracked sink,broken bath panels,broken bathroom tiles and a chair that had no padding and was badly stained from previous stains,double glazed windows with blown seals
The furniture within the rooms are dated and worn.
Dining and bar service was outside or via room service,but given we ate outside the hotel didn't bother with putting heaters or pods on the patio "as there would be no point,as we go back to normal next month" meaning people can eat Inside..I hate to say it we are in unprecedented uncertain times and this is the new normal ..the hotel is clearly not prepared

Lovely hotel but I gave 2 stars less because; fried eggs not nicely fried (burnt/crispy base, not soft pure white). Also shower was weak but lovely bathroom (large). Bedroom had horrible leak marks above bed but still a good size room. Chuck-out time was TOO early for a Sunday (11pm instead of midday or 1pm).

Lovely place for a wedding and we had a fantastic night. Only 2 or 3 people on a bar at a wedding wasn't great. Queued up several times to be waiting at least 20 mins each time. Other than that it was great.

Really enjoyed my one night stay, staff couldn't help more. Room was bright and clean. Breakfast was superb, lots of choice and great quality. Would definitely stay again.

Great service for family staying. Clean room, lovely staff and nothing was too much trouble. Special shout out to the receptionist this morning. Thank you!

I have only ever visited the hotel to use the pool so can't comment on the rooms or hotel experience. I can say that there is ample parking to the rear of the hotel.
Moving inside you will find the gym and pool in the basement of the hotel accessible via a set of stairs or a very small lift.
The pool itself is quite large with a small hot tub to the side. Personally I find the water a nice temperature but people have mentioned that it is cold so just mentioning it in case you are swimming with a small child and you want to bring a wetsuit to keep them warm.
The poolside changing facilities are well equipped with lockers, toilets, showers and baby changing facilities in both male and female changing rooms.
I have had to knock a couple of stars off because the state of the room which houses the pool is a bit dire. The entire roof has blue netting suspended from it to catch what appears to be large chunks of rust or dirt. Not to mention the constant dripping of condensation.

Great service, lovely staff. Rooms are so outdated and a little creepy, but the bed was super comfortable for me! The bath was also great.

Dear all,
My wife and I had been let down last minute by a dreadful couple at our local Golf Couse Venue in Bolton. Left totally devastate and with less than a week to go before the big day I was frantically searching for an alternative or face postponing our wedding day.
By some Miracle ‘Nadine & Bronwen’ from the Mercure - Bolton Georgian House Hotel in Blackrod heard of our situation and offered to help, and invited us over to view the hotel venue. I cannot begin to describe the surprise and sheer delight on her face, as the love of my life was greeted by the management and staff as she was shown around the establishment as if she was a princess; they knew exactly how important this was to her!
From the moment we walked in the Management treated us like royalty! I am not joking; every single member of staff had smiles on their faces, which in turn made us feel warm, happy and very welcome. Thank you Lewis!
One of the first things you notice is just how clean and fresh the establishment is, and you find yourself impulsively marvelling around the place as your eyes soak up the sparkling clean ambience; it was a truly delightful feeling.
It is worth noting that, parking for a great number of vehicles is not a problem as they have a massive car park which is clearly marked-out, well lit and based on the grounds.
As we were still waiting for a full refund from the Golfing Club Owners, this beautiful venue was slightly out our budget. However, Bronwen’s kindness and generosity didn’t stop there, and she bent over backwards to help keep costs down and made it happen. For example, the hotel management threw in accommodation booking us in for an overnight complimentary stay and also added the reduced event rate inclusive of full English breakfast for two and use of their Leisure club. they even had a pool, sauna and steam-room! we were absolutely blown away by this.
you got so much more for your money and the service provided was phenomenal. There was also a lovely lady called ‘Irene’ who was like a ‘fairy godmother’ to my wife; and fixed her dress, brought her cups of tea and made her feel special throughout the entire stay.
All the staff were just brilliant, very welcoming, warm, friendly and just so pleasant with us. This really made us feel more relaxed. It was so reassuring, and we knew it was going to be such a wonderful wedding day knowing that we had Bronwen, Nadine and the team behind us. My wife was buzzing with excitement and still keeps talking about how beautiful our time was at this venue to this day.
The hotel also provided us was the services of a venue dresser called ‘Julie’. This lady clearly went above and beyond to make our experience especially romantic; In our opinion she is a star! Highly talented and her professionalism is outstanding. Julie’s attention to detail and abilities would easily rival (if not surpass) that of some of these personality event dressers. Her attitude, appearance and style is exceptional. The Venue owners would be very wise to keep this girl!
The room had a private bar and the Bar Manager ‘Chris’ and waiters were simply beautiful people; well dressed, very smart and exceptionally well mannered. lighting was perfect, the music was at comfortable level and the ambience and dancefloor simply blew us away.
The bar was perfect! You are not kept waiting around; the food, drinks and service was right there when you wanted it. The prices were very reasonable and what I would expect to pay for such an amazing and quality experience.
“TO AN PERSPECTIVE WEDDING COUPLE PLANNING ON BOOKING HERE: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? THIS IS REALLY IS THE VENUE YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!”
We would like to say to Bronwen and all of her amazing team: ‘THANK YOU!’ for making our special wedding day possible, we had the time of our lives and will always cherish the happy memories we made here at the - Mercure - Bolton Georgian House Hotel.

Great place, evening food great, bar service was excellent the two behind the bar were friendly. The lady at reception was lovely told us everything we needed to know. Breakfast was great all really welcoming

stayed here overnight on 2nd sept. 2 coaches checked in. had to give order for dinner starter and sweet while we queued to check in. room ok, dated, I was on floor 2 . the windows were dorma, couldnt open them and they were really dirty. dinner took 2 hours because starters dished out, then had to have meal buffet style, queueing for ever then sweet finally arrived then coffee. afterwards there wasnt room in reception for all of us to sit so had to go to room. breakfast was buffet style again and was lukewarm. it could be a nice hotel if money was spent on it, even some entertainment on. it was a bit soulless.

The event was in basement..strange smell going down stairs.
Buffet not great..sandwiches had no labels so no one knew what they were...tea n coffee in small area..needed to be in other areas of room to prevent queues.

Brilliant room everything we needed, privilege room is definitely a amazing room coffee machine was definite bonus and superking bed ,I will definitely be back,the breakfast was amazing too loads of choices

Having been continually warned that the food would be 'dreadful' I was taken by surprise at just how good it was. Christmas Dinner served by extremely capable and friendly staff, pleasant function room, great DJ. Thank you ! 😊

I'm here for training with my new guide dog and all the staff are amazing. Nothing is any trouble for them. They are polite and friendly. The chef here is so good and the food is delicious.

Would give them 10 stars if I could, service was too good, they even decorated the bed for me, and offered to carry a mini heater all the up stairs for me to my room cos I was cold at 4am, and let me sleep extra time after check out cos I was tired and did not rush me, has a nice secure car park too, indoor swimming pool n jacuzzi awesome!

Gorgeous grounds and lovely inside, however the rooms are quite dusty and once the heating goes on it's not ideal for people with allergies.

Got married here in 1994. Not quite up to the standard it was then, but still a comfortable and pleasant place to stay. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Visited for an arms & militaria fair...lovely hotel with parking at the rear. Friendly staff who make a great bacon butty...Will return for the next one

Wow highly recomend. Hotel was very clean, staff very helpful. Swimming pool so cool. Water very hot.
