Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Latest Reviews
We booked into the Georgian House for 3 nights as we were celebrating a relative's 40th wedding anniversary. Really pleased we chose this hotel, as it isn't often you find such a good hotel which accepts dogs. The staff were wonderful and very helpful, the food was great and the hotel was very clean and comfortable. When next up in that area, we will definitely book here again. Had a lovely stay, with a very nice, roomy bedroom and en suite.

Love this place. The rooms are big and comfortable and the hotel has great facilities such as a pool and gym but better than that the staff are fabulous. You receive a warm welcome at reception and Irene will serve you drink with a smile at the bar. I recommend the breakfast with a large choice of hot and cold foods, my compliments to the chef and if your lucky you might get Julie or Shelley to serve you. A wonderful place and staff.

Nice attentive staff , my only gripe was the drink prices £10 for a double whiskey , don’t get me wrong the venue was spot on , we had a great time , the layout was spot on and fun and frolics were had by all , we did have drinkies in nearby bars , but they weren’t £10 a double

I came in for a swim today with my two young children. We stopped for dinner in the bar and we were served by Irene. I have been absolutely blown away by her kindness and the level of service we received. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and she was so accommodating with the children. She was friendly and went out of her way to make sure we had a lovely experience. My children adored her. My son had fish and chips from the Children’s’ menu and said it was the best fish he’d ever had. High praise from a very fussy eater!
Thank you Irene for being so welcoming, we can’t wait to come again!

half way through my tour of travelling the world with my friend Hasbulla, we decided to stop off at the mercure georgian house and we were pleasantly greeted by Server, Jack. Very handsome young man!! Hasbulla became wrestless half way through the meal and would often punch jack as he would pass by and jack dealt with him in a very calm manner. Well done to jack and thank you for being so calm. Many thanks

James Kaye provided an excellent service and made me feel very welcome. He was always available and very helpful and made my stay very relaxed and calm. The receptionist Zoe was also very friendly and made me feel welcome. I hope to be saying at mercure Bolton in the future.

Location: Decent, easy to find and with a whole load of parking on site. The view from some of the rooms is stunning.
Check In: Efficient and welcoming although the pre-authorisation of Room+£30 wasnt communicated. In fact no numbers were discussed at thtat point which didnt cross my mind until i saw it on my banking App!
Room: We had a room on the 2nd floor, in the 700's. It was nice, big, small bath so dont think about it if you're bigger than a size 14! There wasnt any air con so it was pretty warm, and no fans either.
Bar: The service was slow, like really slow. 1 drink at a time maximum so there was a fair bit of good old british signing by other guests waiting to be served. It was also really expensive.
Event venue: We were here for a party, its like a maze but we found our way round.
Breakfast: The breakfast was good. Hot food was very good but the continental breakfast food was stale and rock hard.
It was £89 for room only on booking.com, so had to pay extra £10pp for breakfast.
We were supposed to get a morning newspaper with the room, didnt get asked which one we wanted and didnt realise until we left.

Stayed for business
Room was nice, bed comfortable, good ventilation from windows on a warm night, which gave way to cool mornings
Breakfast was nice, self service. The lady host over 3 days was very pleasant. Good selection of hot and cold items with hot and cold beverages

The hotel is very comfortable and well appointed..The only complaint being that there is no Air conditioning and as we were visiting at the height of a very long hot spell..
The staff are superb, friendly, fun, efficient and helpful..What more can one ask of a hotel's staff. One of the staff , Zouwie (Apology for spelling if wrong) should be singled out for particular praise..Nothing too much trouble and very funny with it..A total gem..
With Aircon 5* plus...
Thank you!

Nice hotel, there were things we liked about it and things that could be improved.
Things we liked were that all staff were very professional and friendly. The hotel as a whole was very clean, the bedroom had a lovely king-sized bed so there was plenty of space for us. The bathroom is large as well. The breakfast was lovely, they made vegan sausages for me which I loved and there was so much to choose from e.g. fruit, yoghurt, cold ham and cheese, hot buffet food, and lots of cereal.
There were a couple of things we thought could have been better. Firstly, there wasn't air conditioning or fans in the room and when we asked for an air conditioning unit some people got we were told that they had a limited supply and would put one in our room if there was one, we never got one in our two-night stay which is concerning given we are in a heatwave.
Next in terms of negatives is the evening meal food is very expensive and we thought that we didn't get a lot for what we paid for. We had 2 burgers which came with chips and salad, 2 desserts, 2 alcoholic drinks and 2 soft drinks which came to about £60.
The other thing I thought was odd was that I used the swimming facilities and waited over 10 minutes at the reception to be told that the lockers don't lock but the staff did offer to store my wallet somewhere secure which was very kind of them.
All in all a nice place, a very quiet hotel and good places to drive to in terms of restaurants, pubs, cinemas etc.

Myself and my now husband had our wedding at the Georgian House on Saturday 6th August 2022 and I honestly can’t thank Rochelle enough for all her help leading up to the wedding! She was so responsive on her emails whenever I had a question and she put my mind at ease if I had any worries. We had several meetings with Rochelle in the lead up and she was always so professional, friendly and helpful. She couldn’t do enough for us. I also want to thank Chris and Jimmy who were amazing too. Chris stayed with me late the night before the wedding to ensure I had told him all the finer details regarding decor and he put my mind at ease, and he helped so much all day. Jimmy also went to so much effort, helping with ringing suppliers on the day, bringing a fan to my room, the list goes on! Thank you so much Rochelle, Chris and Jimmy, you guys were amazing. Kelsi was also fabulous during the wedding breakfast, ensuring everyone had the correct meals and that it was all good for us. The food was amazing so thank you to all the catering staff, everyone said how good the food was, including the buffet which was amazing. Again a huge thank you, I felt so welcomed on my wedding day and like I had known you all for years! We had a really good laugh along the way. Thank you, from Mr & Mrs Dean :)

A lovely weekend in a hotel of the good old times with a marvellous swimming pool. Clean, neat, tidy, wonderful all apart a very unpleasant surprise that initially we were offered a coupon for 13.75 per person instead of the dinner we had paid for., while the cheapest item in the menu was some 15 pounds. It is very fortunate that the manager & staff responded instantly and we were served a proper meal -nothing big but it was delicious and to the appropriate for the hotel standard. The breakfast was on the other hand extremely rich and I have no doubt in my mind that if there were a proper dinner I would have given a 5 out of 5 rating.

Place was generally clean, the staff were very helpful and friendly. However, the entire place needs updating. It's like travelling back in time. Decor in all areas is poor. The room was a decent size, but as everywhere else, desperately needs updating.

Mecure Georgian House Hotel bolton, where do we begin. Our wedding day was amazing all thanks to your team! We couldnt of asked for a more perfect day. The attention to detail you went into to make everything perfect and making sure us and our guests where happy, you all went above and beyond for us! Rochelle and Chris you guys where so lovely in planning our wedding. No amount of emails and phone calls was too much for you.
Rochelle coming in on your day off to make sure everything went the way you hoped it would.
Chris when our band hadn't arrived you rang them up to check where they was for us.
The little details you did to make your venue look perfect for us and even coning off part of the car park so we could get the perfect pictures. Nothing was too much trouble to have the wedding we wanted.
The hotel and grounds is so beautiful with the gorgeous view of Rivington. The food was lovely and service was great. All the staff at the hotel was so lovely and welcoming to everyone. The hotel was so clean.
We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or event. 5* recommendation.
Love Peter and and Sammi Jackson x

Went here for a Murder mystery, what a fantastic evening, the Staff were fantastic especially Jimmy and Chris, who really looked after us and the girls behind the bar, who even joined in to try and solve the mystery. The food was excellent and served at just the right time, so the actors did not collide with them. All in all a great night

I feel a bit sad about this because some of the staff were lovely and we did t use the less facilities but they looked well equipped but really the hotel was very basic and both ours and our sons room had a quite unpleasant smell. My daughter was there for the Ironman as we’re a lot of the guests but the hotel also had a wedding going on with a loud disco. I know hotels need to make their money but the noise from the disco did disrupt sleep which isn’t good if your doing 14 hours of exercise the next day! Having said that they were very helpful with the bike and did do an early - very early breakfast for the Ironmen! I think the rooms need upgrading. Also as I’m sure many places do - more staff in the evening - we went into the bar and every table needed clearing.

First of all I would just like to thank all the team at Mercure Georgian House Hotel for being so helpful throughout the whole planning of our wedding and on the big day itself. Especially Rochelle and Chris are wedding planners who went above and beyond for us in every way, they could not do enough for us and for that we just want to thank them for everything, they have been truly amazing. The planning process was made so more easier and a whole lot less stressful because of all of their help and organisation, I don’t think we could have done it without them! The day itself could not have run any more smoothly, the room turn arounds were done quickly and looked stunning each and every time. The day itself couldn’t have been any more wonderful than it was, it really was perfect and everything we had dreamed of. The room was decorated beautifully in our chosen colour scheme and decorations, the food was gorgeous, the venue itself and the grounds are lovely and so picture perfect, the staff are all really friendly and ourselves and all our guests commented on how accommodating and welcoming they all were. My only wish is that we could do it all over again! I would highly recommend the Mercure Georgian House Hotel to any of our family, friends or anyone else thinking of booking an event somewhere. Thank you again for everything! Love the new Mr & Mrs Lonsdale x

We booked our wedding blessing and naming ceremony around 3 months prior to the set date and the staff were nothing but helpful, friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process. Fantastic communication and service. The suite was perfect for our event and the bar was a great social area. Lovely outdoor garden and views of Rivington Pike at the back for photos. The DJ recommended through the hotel was good as well. Really good buffet in the evening and breakfast in the morning, the four poster room was a nice addition too! The staff made everything run smoothly and the whole experience was fantastic. Would highly recommend!

We had our wedding at the Georgian House on 18th of June. I cannot thank the whole staff enough. Not only was the venue perfect, but the staff were really helpful and friendly, all day and night the staff made sure me and my husband were tended to as well as our family! Would definitely recommend it here for anyone that is looking for the perfect place to have their wedding!!

We arrived early, so ordered a sandwich each, which took 45 minutes to arrive, my wife had a prawn mayonnaise sandwich, there was only 5 small prawns in the sandwich, we complained and they took it away and we only paid for our drinks, my wife shared my cheese sandwich, we didn't want to wait again. Breakfast was another problem, the hot buffet was okay, but there were no fried eggs, we were informed that they were on there way, but 10 minutes later, no eggs, so we had a breakfast without eggs. We will not stay there again.
