We recently stayed at The Village Hotel for our wedding, which both the ceremony and the reception was held there. It was absolutely fabulous, the venue was perfect and totally blew us away when we saw it dressed.

The only negative (which was soon resolved) was the hotel room that we were originally allocated, was very small and it was at the back of the hotel, which was far from ideal. It was soon corrected to perfection by the incredible wedding planner Tina Galasso and Doretta, the House Keeping Manager though, allocating us family rooms straight away, they were both incredibly supportive, as was Tina '2' who took over from Tina G in the afternoon...the staff are absolutely first class.

If I was to offer prospective couples any constructive advice who are thinking of booking their wedding here is to insist on a family room for the extra space and going one step further - Senior Management of The Village Hotel chain, invest in creating a bespoke bridal suite that offers plenty of space for the bridal party because the standard rooms are simply, not big enough!

The beds and pillows are comfortable and the bathrooms have a contemporary fit out in keeping with the rest of the hotel. The food is awesome and the new sports bar to the right of the reception is great however, as the restaurant is situated at the rear of the bar and its all open plan, it does get really noisy so if you like to eat in a quiet space then you would probably be disappointed, so be mindful.

There's plenty of parking and it is free (a real benefit today as many hotels charge) and there is disabled access to the right side of the entrance steps that takes you to the patio area (a god send when taking all your wedding things up to your room, so make sure you utilise it!).

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and Tina Galasso, the staff at The Village, the beautiful venue all played a MAJOR part in that, so a HUGE HUGE thank you to you all.

If you are reading this review with a view to planning your wedding, you really can't go wrong and its a great size too...We would recommend it to anyone, check out the pictures of the 'dressed rooms' absolutely stunning! :)

Great for regular business trip stay over. Friendly staff and great facilities. The food menu is varied and the nightly specials keep things interesting, the gym is top quality and if you like your sport they have 2 large screens to help pass the night.

Good Great location. Large and functional. Food and drink on site. Odd automated self check-in during a busy night in the bar alongside made it more difficult to check in than it needed to be.

will be back again we stayed for one night. the location was good and easy to get to. the carvery next to the hotel was great for food & drinks. comfortable and quite room to the rear. nothing bad to say whatsoever about the stay nothing bad about the hotel or experience

We stayed as part of a wedding party, enjoyed the do. The hotel was pleasant and staff friendly.
Didnt like the colour scheme of corridor but thats about personal taste / preference.
Booked for 3 but only one stayed wasnt offered a down grade room, which would have been appreciated.

Really surprised at the quality and comfort of the room for the price we paid.
Room was lovely and warm and the shower was very powerful and hot.
Breakfast buffet was tasty with a very good selection of food

Pleasant Bed comfortable but upholstery around frame unclean.

Wonderful stay, food was great- really good variety of high quality meals, staff was lovely, room was beautiful. Have never stayed at a village hotel before but after our experience, we will 100% go again!

Whole experience marred by having left item in room, for item then to 'disappear'! Majority of staff were friendly & efficient - but some more so than others. I left my iPad in my room and unfortunately it was claimed that it wasn't found (stolen) so my whole experience of The Village has been let down by this. Food was mediocre and the wine for the actual quality in the bottle was very expensive i.e. cheap wine but priced too high for actual quality. We only chose The Village Hotel due to it having an event. Wouldn't go back or recommend it as I left my iPad hidden in the room and checked out (my daft) but then it 'disappeared'. Only likely conclusion - dishonest staff - so, would I go back? - NEVER! - and would offer caution to other guests - don't make mistake as I did - leave anything in room as you're not likely to get it back.

Visited this hotel several years ago and gave it an average mark. Returned for a one night stay and was really impressed about the room improvements. The bathroom was amazing in its design. Didn't use any hotel facilities.

The Village Hotel sits on a pedestal however no need to hump suitcasesup the 30 odd steps to reception as there is a lift for disabled at the right end of the building. Reception formalities were dealt with by a Receptionist with a laptop and soon after arrival set out on the hunt the room challenge. I think the hotel had been extended so not all rooms were easy to find neither was the way back to reception from some.
There is a bar restaurant on the ground floor however avoid this on a cup final weekend especially if a party is in progress as the sound level might only just be slightly below deafening.
The service was good and so was the food and in the morning a buffet breakfast is served in the same place.
Good sized rooms but could learn lessons from Premier Inn regarding bed comfort.
Perfectly adequate but might check the local Premier Inn next time.

shame that the bathroom wasnt clean and smelt quite bad.
Also the bedroom window let in loads of noise making it very hard to sleep.
I didnt report as it was early hours and I couldnt be bothered

It was quite an expensive night stay considering the above.
Not sure I would stay again for that reason, real shame.

We stayed here as part of a weekend in Bury visiting the arcade club and as with the other Village hotels we have stayed in we were not dissapointed.

The room was immaculate and had a superb bed and TV, the staff were polite and very helpfull and there was ample parking.

Room service was quick and good quality and they even managed to squeeze us in at short notice for breakfast before closing with staff still going the extra mile

I booked this hotel as a last minute nights getaway for me and my partner. Overall we enjoyed it but I think that is really based on what you make of it yourself. We were a bit disappointed by all the missing touches that most low star hotels even have.
I think it would be easier to list this as pros and cons:
Pros:
- The staff were friendly and helpful, anything we asked for was met with a smile and nothing seemed too much.
- The evening meal (pre booked 2 course) was lovely, reserved table was laid out and again the waiting staff were great. We did try to tip the waiter over card but apparently you don't let you staff take tips over card which seemed a little unfair. It's busy in there and they work hard. Not many people are coming to a hotel with cash.
- Check in was super easy.
- Extra pillows and clear definition between soft and hard.
- TV was a decent size.
- Shower is good. decent size head and a second head.

Cons:
- The room layout was not practical, women would find it very stressful to get ready as the table is not placed near the mirror, which is odd. I used the ironing board as a table for my makeup.
- There was a funky stain up our wall (I won't describe it) and one of our towels was stained (before use).
- All the products, shampoo, hand wash, body wash are all actually the exact same product. So I washed my hair with the shampoo and felt like I was wearing a straw hat for the rest of the day.
- The room just lacked all the little touches a hotel usually has. Like where is a glass for water? or tissues? it was pretty bare except the promised iron, tea and coffee making facility.
- The one thing that really irritated me is that I had prepaid for late checkout at 1pm but I went to go back in the room about 11:30 and the key card had stopped working. Just a good job my partner was in there, but really?!? I prebooked it, it can't of been that hard to get right. I would have been pretty annoyed if I had been on my own and had to come and remind your staff that I had late checkout.
- Breakfast was mental. I get that it was the rubgy world cup but guests had to ask the staff to refill the stations when it should have been preempted. but also it was just a really boring breakfast choice. Complete day and night compared to the evening meal. We would have been happier finding a local greasy spoon.

Overall we enjoyed ourselves but I do think its overpriced/overrated. We were able to look past all the missing bits because we were just happy to be child free for a night! The staff were lovely, especially being so run off their feet by the busy bar and grill. They are a credit to you, let them take card gratuities!

Went for some quality time out together as a couple and to relax after a difficult 18months.Turned out anything BUT! was woken from sleep and keep awake all night by adjoining guests shouting,arguing and fighting.This went on from just before 3am to almost half past 5.Stay was totally ruined and was left to exhausted to fully enjoy the breakfast and had to miss out on pool and spa we had planned due to this

The hotel has changed over the years and although still a reasonable standard the main reception area let's it down. Unfortunately they have had to move with the times to attract more business but what was once a pleasant first impression has now become a very noisy sports type bar with huge TV screens everywhere which in the morning becomes the breakfast area not a very relaxing experience.

Great stay Easy to get to. The staff were helpful with the check in process. The bed was comfy and the hotel was in a quiet area.

Excellent stay Love village hotels know exactly what you are going to get and the gym facilities are fantastic Nothing

I have not been to the hotel since it’s had its make over, unfortunately I was very disappointed the room looks and feels like it’s been designed by a teenage boy! I really did feel like I was in my sons room having a romantic break with my husband, just didn’t seem right! To contact the reception you had to down load the app or visit the web page, I mean what’s that all about (I must be getting old!) only had one towel between the two of us so contacted them to send more, when they dropped them off he made a comment that there is some in the cupboard in the room, there was no blooming cupboard in the room and only a few draws to put our clothes! It is such a shame!

I had my wedding at the village hotel in October 2019 - was everything we wanted and more!
The team were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble - expertly lead by Kristina!!! Whatever we wanted or needed they delivered in an expert manner!

We can’t thank this team enough for providing us with the perfect wedding night.
The venue was perfect and the room we held our wedding party in was expertly arranged and again the team did everything we wanted while we relaxed and got ready for the big night!

A huge huge thank you from us both - it was the perfect evening from start to finish

Highly recommended to anyone who wants a stress free, relaxed and highly enjoyable evening 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you so much and especially Kristina - you were amazing!

Mr and mrs Lomax ❤️

The hotel and rooms are fine. Single glazed windows made it a bit noisy from outside and a disco on sat night ran until 1a.m. Bar anD grill were busy and very noisy ... by5 the food was nice.
guests of younger ages were inconsiderate when returning late at night: perhaps the hotel could offer quieter rooms to older folk who want a good nights sleep. I would stay again, but ask for a quieter room.

We would love to thank Tina, Rod & Tina and all their team for making the most amazing day. You are a credit to the hotel you went out of your way to make us feel so special. The room looked sensational and our guests loved the food. The resident DJ was fab.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Lots of love
Jan and Paul

convenient for our needs. good breakfast good parking lovely bedrooms and good choice of food in the evening. a little too busy and loud,a bit far from town.

Thank you to all of the staff at the Village hotel for making our last minute night away an absolute pleasure. You are a credit to the company. It showed that there must be a good place to work. The staff were all so friendly, down to earth and engaged us in conversation. We would definitely come back. Food and drinks at the bar were lovely too. Having Starbucks there as well was really nice and the guys behind the bar were so chatty too. The night manager and the lad who checked us in made us feel so comfortable
