We booked this hotel because of a groupon promotion and were seriously glad we didn’t pay full price - what we paid was about the rate of a decent Travelodge and we much prefer staying in those.

At check-in we were asked if we wanted to upgrade our room for a £10 fee. We asked what was better about the superior room. They looked a bit embarrassed and said we’d get free water. We declined this tempting offer.

However when we got to the room the window wouldn’t close, leaving us in sub zero temperatures and in a dubious state of security. Despite this, the cold air blowing in didn’t quite cover the generally damp smell in the atmosphere.

We were upgraded to the superior room, although we had forgo the free water. This was fine, as the room did come with free water-dispensing taps.

The hotel is a huge maze of rooms and it must be quite hard to keep on top of the maintenance of it; the carpets were a bit grubby, some of the fixtures were hanging off the walls and there was an odd looking smear (probably toothpaste) on the bathroom wall. (Hopefully toothpaste.)

The bed looked an impressive size until we realised it was two singles pushed together, with quite a large chunk of wood running through the middle of it. Some people may swear that sleeping on a hard surface is good for the back, but I personally prefer my beds squishy as there is much greater potential for comfortable snuggling.

If you don’t particularly like the person with whom you are sharing a bed, then the this hotel may well be for you.

We made the grave mistake of booking the restaurant thinking that 2 meals for £29 wasn’t such a bad deal. The food ranged from below par to inedible. Our second grave error was to order the house wine, and not mention anything about the bits of cork floating in it. It bumped up our bill by £17, leaving us without enough cash to tip the friendly and attentive waiting staff. On reflection we thought perhaps they ensure the staff are so startlingly lovely so that you won’t complain about what they are serving you. (FYI we scraped some cash together later and gave it to them at the distinctly average breakfast.)

One the whole I wouldn’t go back by choice, however, I’d visit the staff team if they decided to up sticks and migrate to a different hotel as this one does them no justice.

My wife and I stayed here over the weekend and we were well looked after by the staff.
The room was large and spacious and very modern, glad to see UK hotels have caught up with the flat screen TV revolution!!
The bathroom was spotless and had the fluffiest towels we have ever come across.
Breakfast was self service and the food was excellent.
All in all excellent value for the price we paid.

We went to a Dirty Dancing evening meal and show, the meal was a good standard and the service excellent. The only complaint is that the bar prices are savage almost double pub prices.

Equally good and bad points. Would recommend but with a couple of warnings!

Good points: Big rooms with high standards of design, comfort and cleanliness, great swimming pool with sauna and steam room (quite fancy changing rooms too!), nice food in the restaurant, pleasant and helpful staff, lots of choice at breakfast.

Bad points: We were kept awake by heavy footsteps and banging throughout the night on our first night but once we moved to a room on the top floor it was silent. Lastly - DON'T GO NEAR THE FOOD IN THE VICTORY PUB! I didn't realise you could get pizza so wrong and terrible chicken wings. Pay slightly more for the food in the Verve Grill, much nicer.

I was disappointed with our room it was clean but it looked like I had just stepped in to a P**mier In*.

We selected a village hotel as we expected it to be all greys purples etc and most of the hotel was modern but some of the rooms are a bit to cream and a little bland for my taste.

Breakfast was good and inc in the price.

The location of this hotel is fine if u are travelling by car. Five mins to centre of bury. But if you wanted to go out in bury and stay in a hotel it's a bit out of the way. Nice rooms and good breakfast. Put a lower score for service as when my other half didn't want to get up for breakfast they wouldn't let me take any up to my room . Nice venue for a wedding however my friends got married there and didnt see what they were promised in the buffet . 7/10

Booked through groupon so was value for money nice large pool and jacuzzi , the rooms were modern and well equipped, nice meeting area in ther lounge the hotel also contains a Starbucks coffee shop . the breakfast had fantastic choice buffet style , help yourself coffee which i liked as again choice of latte capuchinno black , plenty of teas

ample parking area and easy to find

stayed in this hotel while away with work , its very comfortable & the rooms are tip top maintained very quickly & the daytime staff is very curtious & have a smile for every guest young & old , only down side is the night staff are abrupt due to probley hearing the same questions every evening .
.
all in all a lovly hotel to stay

Just stayed Fri/Sat at Village Bury. Usual good Village standard but the staff were all very friendy and the food was so good on the Friday we changed our plans and booked for the Saturday as well. Very convenient for Bury and the well known Market. All in all a very relaxing stay with surprisingly good food, well done Bury.

Absolutely fantastic, the staff were amazing well done. Went here after being refused entry to a different hotel for having a tattoo, on arrival they were aware it was my birthday and I was greeted with wine and cake, and booked into the party night, Rocky horror show, even tho it was fully booked they squeezed us in. Couldnt find fault with anything

As I live in the Manchester area I have often passed this hotel on my way to Bury. I have noticed that it always seems to be very popular, (judging by the number of cars in the large car park). Having now been on a weekend break to 'The Village' I realise why it is so popular.
The room was delightful, clean, smart, spacious and very well equipped. The hotel could not offer more; there is something for everyone here, the pub, restaurant, coffee shop. All of these have special offers and the quality is exceptional. The Health and fitness suite is superb, offering a large swimming pool, very large well equipped gym, steam room, sauna, sun showers, Jacuzzi, hot tub and lovely large changing rooms all the necessary facilities.
I must say the most outstanding feature of this hotel was. Without a shadow of a doubt, the staff! My husband and I were so impressed with the attitude of each and every member of staff that we came into contact with. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a friendly and professional receptionist and given all the information we needed. The restaurant staff were excellent and the restaurant Manager was delightful, professional and a fabulous sense of humour without being intrusive. It would be impossible to find a grumpy or unpleasant member of staff in this hotel all credit to the hotel Manager whom I believe has a strong belief in delivering excellent customer service. I have to say it really shows. A long time since we have been anywhere that made us feels so welcome and comfortable.
Impossible to fault this hote!

Fantastic venue to host a business exhibition. The staff were very accommodating, in fact nothing was too much trouble at all. The room was set out perfectly upon arrival, we were treated to drinks whilst preparing the room and the PA system was ready and set up for us. The feedback from attendees to the event has been very positive with many saying this was our best venue to date. Good lighting, clean bright room with the added bonus of the balconies for extra space and fresh air. Overall excellent experience!

We held our Business Expo at Village Hotel Bury last Thursday and I could not fault the venue at all. We (and our guests) were blown away by the professionalism and friendly approach of all the staff, who went out of their way to help our event run smoothly. The venue itself was perfect for our needs and we have received fantastic feedback.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Samantha, Kirsteen and the team at the Village Hotel, Bury for hosting our latest business exhibition and networking event last week. Nothing was too much trouble, nothing left to chance and everything was as meticulously planned from your end as it was ours. The feedback we have received has been absolutely fantastic with the venue being a major plus point for most people. It made such a difference to us to have everything readily available and in place on arrival - so much so we actually had a few minutes breather between setting up and starting the event which was a refreshing change. Thank you once again and we look forward to continuing our working realtionship with you!

The reception staff were lovely and very helpful, the room was gorgeous, very chic and comfy. everything we needed was already there, my partner and i went to have a meal in the "verve grill" but as it was a busy weekend we would have been waiting 1hr 45mins for a table, starving we opted for the pub/bar, it was very nice a little pricey but nothing out of the ordinary, we then used the hotel facilities, gym, pool and sauna which was great! the bed was extremely comfortable with a selection of hard and soft pillows, which was also great!! we only stayed the one night but it was brilliant, it made our little get away that much more special. will be booking again :)

The hotel is next to the moterway junction to Bury. Just about a mile to town centre. You got all the facilities you need in a hotel. Free parking. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Starbuck Cafe inside the hotel.
Swimming pool is large and lovely, but it might be a bit too noisy sometimes when filled with kids.

I have recently returned from a stay at The Village. I was there for a wedding and the reception was held at the hotel, my room was therefore booked some time ago and a good rate was secured.

Generally I enjoyed my visit, the room was comfortable and well equipped, food in the bar on the Friday night was of an acceptable standard (as part of a Friday offer it was only £2.50 for a burger and chips so I can't really complain!). Breakfast was decent, although I can't say I was very keen on their sausages. I used the gym facilities which were very good and I am reliably informed that the swimming pool was good too.

There were a couple of down points, the card reader on my room's door packed up which led to some degree of concern but I must commend the staff on their (ultimately successful) efforts to get me back in. The place also seemed a little gloomy. These are fairly minor matters though.

We booked this hotel with a Groupon Voucher. From the moment we arrived we liked what we saw. The room was lovely and the leisure facilities great! Loved the bar and really enjoyed our stay overall. Well worth the money. We will be returning.

A lovely and nice clean room. Food was amazing, especially the steak with the chilli rub!

Our stay in the hotel was magical! This is the first time we have stayed in a hotel. The rooms were amazing as were the facilities. we would love to come and stay again.

My first visit here and was very, very impressed by the experience. The Village Hotel, Bury.

Mine and my boyfriends stay at the hotel was great. The room was clean and lovely, the bar wss really good and reasonably priced. The staff were amazing - really friendly, lovely and helpful. They made our stay great especially the lady on the desk as we came in and the first floor office ladies.

A very nice welcome and a lovely room. We had a lovely meal in The Verve Grill restaurant and a more than adequate breakfast too. Thank you very much.

the hotel is really clean and very, very comfortable. The restaurant was fab, really trendy and very modern too. The staff in the restaurant were lovely! Thank you.

Great modern hotel, room decor very nice in superior room, hairdryer , tea and coffee included, no dressing gowns, pub downstairs nice and cosy and very cheap , beer £2 , burger and chips £2 at happy hour....had a group on in the evening, reception staff polite, lots of choices at breakfast inc black pudding and mushrooms etc, taxi only cost £5 to Bury town centre. Pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi all good, gym amazing ! Only problem was builders taking scaffolding down right outside our window at 7am Sat morning so ruined our lie in.
