Stayed herewith my husband (who was on business) and our 6 & 4 year old boys. We stayed in a ground floor family room. My husband checked in on a Monday, with myself and the children arriving on the Friday and all checking out the following Tuesday.
Our room was very spacious with 2 double beds and a sofa bed. The bathroom was also a good size. The bed was huge and very comfy. The maids did a fantastic job each day as my boys made a fair bit of mess.
The food was delicious. We had room service 1 night and ate in the lounge another night. Portions where large and although a bit pricey not more than I would expect. Breakfast was nice and well staffed, though I was surprised there was no black pudding, what with being in lancashire.
My husband says the gym is good and I found the pool area very nice. The guy on duty on the day we went swimming was brilliant as our youngest broke a golden rule and ran, ending up slipping and hurting his head.
There was only 2 minor downsides, 1 was each day we returned our key card didn't seem to work so had to head back to reception to get it fixed. 2 was on the Saturday our next door neighbors where a group of young guys who rolled in rather loudly at 2.15, though it was the nights the clocks went back so felt like 3.15. Not the best move putting a group of lads in a 'family' room.
Overall a brilliant stay

Booked this place, primarily, as it had been well received on trip advisor and my other half enjoys a swim and sauna. I found the room to be fine for my needs ie get a good sleep and a shower etc but a little disappointed we only got one set of towels. Also could not get the wifi to work anywhere in the hotel. Maybe if I asked these things would have been sorted so I will take some of the blame.
The pool area, gym and sauna were all very accessible the times we used them and never too busy.
Drink is expensive so don't plan to have a great night at the bar unless you have more money than sense, although to be fair I suspect this is the norm for hotels.
The breakfast buffet is good too, I normally don't eat much in the morning but managed to have a lovely cooked breakfast each morning.
The staff in all areas were very welcoming and attentive and I am sure they would have sorted my little niggles if I bothered to mention them.
I would have no problems recommending this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the area.

We only stayed one night and as were were meeting friends we did not eat any meals. The pool is not very large but overall very clean and pleasant, good parking, quiet even though there were 2 weddings. We were given a room on the top floor in the loft area. But it was big enough, clean and quiet. Good TV and tea,coffee etc. About 1 mile from the Reebok and very close to the motorway. Downside drinks pricey, bar area a bit bleak and we did not find a lounge area but there were 2 parties so maybe the lounge was somewhere.

stayed here for weekend friday night into manchester to show at bridgewater hall the hotel staff were helpful and pleasant but the rooms were tired and dated the food in the restaurant was excellent for two of our party but was cold for the other two this was rectified to our satisfaction things do go wrong but it is the way it is dealt with that makes the difference would we go back yes.
we understand that the hotel has recently been taken over and would expect the hotel to raise the standards in the bedrooms to what you would expect from the accor group

Stayed here for one night. Room was poor with dead flies on the window ledge, and the bathroom in urgent need of update.
Didn't use the leisure facilities but they look ok.
Breakfast was very nice, although they seemed very understaffed, and you struggled to get someone's attention to get a cup of coffee.

This was my second visit to the Georgian House Hotel near Bolton and my room this time was larger than my first visit. The rooms have been excellent and, whilst the bathroom fittings are looking dated, they are maintained and scrupulously clean. An earlier reviewer complained about the water pressure in the shower and I can confirm that it is not exactly a raging torrent but then neither is it an inadequate trickle either. I don't spend all my stay in the hotel shower so I can't get too upset by this! The reception staff are delightful and the breakfast staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. There is a large bar area with TVs but I didn't get to use the pool so I couldn't comment. Parking is easy and there are plenty of spaces. An excellent experience, again, for a seasoned traveller.

Very good value accommodation. Immaculate well equipped rooms and good friendly service. Great location ( 1 min from major Mway network) yet quiet and rural. We had 2 twin rooms and used the restaurant, gym and bar facilities.

Clean, simple, functional and friendly. Breakfast value for money if you don't book in advance.
Location very good for Bolton and M65 route. Close to Reebok Middlebrook Shopping Centre and Bolton Wanderers FC
