I am becoming a regular feature here. Hotel a throwback to the Bananarama/Nik Kershaw era...for those who remember! 1980's build and still the same hall carpets. Nonetheless, staff are very good, though you'll have to make your voice heard for them to come and offer you tea at breakfast. That said, the buffet is good and they will fetch breakfast for you if you request. Clean and tidy rooms, but few TV channels...why can't they at least have council TV - or free view as its known here? All in all a decent bolt hole, nice but spartan bar, but the staff make this hotel better. I hope Mercure do invest in it as it won't take much to make it better.

Myself and my husband got married at the Georgian house at the beginning of August and i could not recommend it enough, everything was just wonderful! Right from the very first appointment Marie the wedding co-ordinator was brilliant! On the day the satff could not do enough for us and Louise who ran the wedding was amazing she just did not stop all day. Everyone who stopped at the hotel said they had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the breakfast.
I would reccomend the Mecure Bolton Georgian house hotel to anyone wether it be for a wedding or a leisure break.

We used the Georgian house hotel as our base, for our weekend break with friends, the staff at our hotel where great, Louise and Chris where very helpful in surging places to visit, as we did not know the area. We decided on Blackpool, & Louise when to the trouble of getting us train times for use and taxi numbers for our return. Nothing was too much. Thank you for an enjoyable stay .

Chose this hotel for a three-night midweek break because it is both dog friendly and doesn't charge a ridiculous amount to accommodate them. The hotel actually plays host to guide dog training.
Public areas were modern, nicely furnished and we were able to take the pooch into the bar when no-one was eating (outside terrace all the time). We had a spacious family room (one king size bed, two singles side-by-side) on the ground floor, handily next to the car park. The leisure suite - pool and fitness rooms - was well equipped and spotless. My cousin and daughter swam twice a day.
We booked room only but paid in advance for 2-course dinners on the first evening and were able to choose from a daily set menu or have an allowance against the main menu. There was a separate, varied children's menu from which our nine-year-old had her favourite steak, chips and peas. This and my cousin's burger and fries were well liked but the lamb in my casserole was tough and the rosemary simply a fresh sprig on top rather than cooked in the sauce. It was served with two small, soft skinned baked potatoes but no contrasting veg to relieve the brown colour and texture.
Restaurant service was poor beyond belief - there was only one other table taken in the dining room and about a dozen people eating in the bar. Main courses took a while to come but when we'd waited over 30 minutes for two desserts - a cheese plate to share and an ice cream for the youngster - we decided not to bother. The server explained the delays on 'a lot of room service'. As we passed reception we were asked if we had enjoyed the meal and when we explained the missing desserts, ice cream was whisked to our room without problem.
Other than this, service was friendly and efficient and we very much enjoyed using the Mercure as a base.

We stayed here as a family of 4 in July. We booked it because it was loads cheaper than any other hotel in the area, including perceived budget brands such as premier inn and travelodge.
All in all, it was pleasent enough. It met my expectations in terms of cleanliness, room facilities etc. Staff were friendly, food was ok, nothing positive or negative to say about the food really. It has a nice health club attached, if that's your thing I would recommend it, especially the pool which was decent. Location wise, it's a stone throw away from the reebok stadium in Bolton, and it is an ideal location to stay if you are exploring the north west.
Overall, it was good, I have nothing negative to say about the place, it is what I would expect of a hotel of this nature, however, for the price I paid, it was exceptional value for money.

I stayed here for a friends wedding and thought it was lovely, the room was clean and spacious and nicely decorated, enjoyed a nice coffee in the morning a nice touch in the room.
Breakfast in the morning was delicious, fresh hot food was constantly being brought through.
My only slight grumble was the price of drinks in the bars during the evening £21 for a bottle of wine!

Check in was quick, friendly and efficient, restaurant was busy but service was quick and tables were quickly cleared.
Good choice of breakfast dishes, starters and hot food.
Bedroom and bathroom were clean and the room temperature was comfortable.
The area to the rear of the hotel can be noisy if there is a function on, e.g. wedding.

This clean, well run hotel proved to be a good choice for an overnight stay. The big plus point was the fact that all staff that we came into contact with, whether via e-mail or in person were friendly, welcoming, helpful, polite and considerate. Our room was fine, as was the standard of breakfast. The only disappointment, as in so many hotels, was the postage stamp sized duvets. It is not clear how a large person is expected to enjoy a comfortable nights sleep under one of these items. Overall though - many thanks to the people who work here, a good team.
