Stayed overnight as attending a wedding at the hotel. The guy working at reception that checked us in was really friendly. Room was on 2nd floor, some of the room we found a bit dated like the bathroom and the wardrobes but TV was great plus the bed was so comfy. Room was clean too. Breakfast was enjoyable, staff friendly and helpful there too. If having toast, only put the bread through the toaster once!
Room was so warm even with heating off but felt the areas on the ground floor were cold.
Staff throughout the wedding were great from the ceremony to the meal to the reception.
As just off the M61, it was easy to find.
Drinks are expensive which you do tend to find in hotels, buy a bottle for your room before you arrive!

Had an important business lunch at the Mercure today. Staff were extremely helpful and could not do enough to ensure that both myself and our business friends were well looked after.
A member of staff that stood out as being excellent was Irene. I am delighted in the the high standards that she promoted together with her professionalism.

The rooms are comfortable and clean. The service is friendly.
The bar and restaurant are basic and not too comfortable for my taste. The breakfast lacks vegan options.
But for a business trip this hotel is more than adequate.

I stayed at this hotel almost 18 years ago and it was quite a deluxe place, expensive & a little exclusive. The gym/pool membership used to be quite expensive too.
I was surprised to find that the rooms were a bit cheaper than my previous stay but the place is now owned by Mercure.
The car park was full of pot holes and it all looked a little tired from the outside. The reception area was nice & the staff were lovely. To be honest the rooms were a little bit like a travelodge. Clean, but the bed was hard, an old poor shower was over the bath and it wasn’t great & the radiator was blasting out horrendous heat. I had to get maintenance to turn it off as the thermostat was broken. The very nice guy at reception gave me a fan for the evening as it was too late to get anyone out to fix it the previous night.
Breakfast was nice, the staff were so helpful but it was all just a bit tired. I think 3 stars is an accurate summation. It’s saving grace really was the staff.

Thanks Marie and the team a t Mecure Bolton

My room was clean although need maintenance as the handyman wasn't very good at his job. Loose fittings, mastic, discoloured paint and water stains, broken sink plug...
Still, the staff were lovely and the breakfast was fantastic. With a little TLC.
Lastly, the location is horrendous, way out of the city, invisible signs and a PIA to get into, it's made worse as there aren't any signs to the car park, you have to drive under the building and can't see where your going.

Went with a group for a Christmas party, about 15 of us but I stayed overnight. Attempted to check into the room i had booked in October but the check in clerk could not find any reservation for me. Fortunately the person i was sharing with had already checked in and told me our room number, seems strange that the room was booked in my name yet they could not find me whereas 2 hours earlier they could find me when my roommate checked in, it was only when i told them what my room number was that they found me.
CASH only at the bars..... really!!!! In this day and age? This was not because there was a technical problem it was policy, more reminiscent of a cheap b&b on the A6. Prices at the bar were ridiculous £3.95 for a coke, but with no openly displayed price list and cash only ..........
Needless to say we will not be returning. I must say i have stayed at other Mecure hotels but never one as financially questionable as this one.

we badly needed a break mid term, so decided on a hotel that wasn't too far away. We arrived (having overshot, the signage isn't great) I was impressed by the bright reception & the warm welcome I received. Check in was easy & we made our way to our room. I wasn't expecting anything great, but we were delighted, a bright, spacious bathroon, full size wardrobe, the room opened out to a very comfortable space. A huge bed (SO comfy) a desk, decent tv & a fab sofa.
We went for dinner in the bright & modern bistro. We shared an Indian platter of samosas, bagis & Pacoras which was delicious. Hubs had the sweet potato curry, I had fish & chips both were lovely. The house wine is decent & reasonably priced.
We slept like logs & enjoyed a very yummy breakfast. There are juices cereals & pastries to start with & a cooked buffet that you help yourself to. The staff were lovely & cooked some veggie sausages which hubby loved.
We had ordered a table for dinner but someone took it! The staff member went above & beyond to sort us out. She did, & we loved our table. We shared a huge plate of nancos, I had pork & he had veggie burger. Both were excellent.
We ended the evening with a cocktail!
It is a very welcoming place. Every member of staff is terrific. There is a health club & pool. Spa treatments can be bokked. Parking is secure & free. I loved every second of our stay.
2 minor niggles, not over keen on the bath & the walls are thin. Did it out me off? NO. Will we return? Oh yes indeed.

My step-daughter purchased a voucher for my husband and I to have afternoon tea, so we decided to make a night of it!
We had a nice welcome and the afternoon tea was lovely. Our room was clean and bed was comfortable; we slept well. We had an evening meal which was delicious and the breakfast was decent too. Overall we ate very well and were happy with all of our meals.
We also used the swimming pool and had a relaxing swim.
The staff were very nice.
I would stay again.
Not a complaint, but it's worth noting that although this is called Georgian House Hotel, it's really a large coporate hotel, very close to the motorway and busy main road. The view from our window was a roof top with ducting and air con units, again it's not a complaint but I'm trying to give a realistic account of my visit for future travellers.
The only complaint is the ladies changing room in the fitness area next to the swimming pool. it should have been refurbished years ago. Sorry but I wasn't prepared to use those facilities and quickly got dressed and showered in my room.

Stayed over at this hotel as it was a friends 30th, The party room was a good size and was furnished/decorated to a good standard
The hotel is old and in need of an upgrade but the rooms clean and had no complaints
The staff are a mixed bag, Breakfast staff de-motivated and I feel breakfast in other hotels makes or breaks the stay with the personality of the staff. Some of the reception staff again just don’t look happy, maybe management need to give them a moral boost? Bar staff at the function friendly and a lot more personality.
Overall a good stay for what we paid, with an update or even just the management making the staff happier to work this could be a great hotel!
