We stayed at the Village hotel for one night (a Friday night). We stayed in a very spacious superior double room. The room was quiet, clean and very nicely decorated.
We had a meal in the hotel restaurant which was reasonably priced and well made- the service was a little slow, but to be expected for a Friday night. The bar was comfortable and also offered a nice relaxing place to sit and have a drink. The breakfast was excellent, though the rashers of bacon were welded together!!
We thought this may just be another bland hotel, but every aspect of the hotel was excellent. We've just stayed in a top De Vere hotel and both said that we'd prefer to stay here again!

Stopped in a twin room for one night with a friend for a couple of pamper/shopping days. Arrived early and was able to go straight into the room. Booked a taxi to Bury which came in a couple of mins had a great time shopping. Back to the hotel and spent a while in the room which was relaxing, nice bathroom too. Had an excellent meal in the restaurant after a drink in the bar. Spent the next day in the swimming pool area after a good breakfast, and had lovely treatments in the Spa. Altogether a most enjoyable time at a great hotel which we got really cheap on the internet. Only complaint was the noise the lift made in the night, would ask to be further away from it next time.

I went here with my husband (i'm 28, he's 35) and we both had a great time. I don't understand how anyone couldn't like this hotel. Looks amazing from the outside- very grand and inside is even grander. Lovely, modern, spacious rooms and the a la carte food in the restaurant was gorgeous. Then there's the pool- wow. It's a big pool, very clean and very well maintained. Sauna and steam room were also good. I liked the fact there was a snack bar as well as a bar with a bar menu and posh restaurant too - offered lots of choice. Found the staff to be really friendly and pleasant too.
There was karaoke in the bar and a good atmosphere which was great.
This was my second visit here and i am sure i will return for a third.

This is typical hotel in the Village chain. Excellent leisure facilities including pool, spa, sauna, gym and squash courts.
The main entrance approach is up a large flight of steps which may be a problem with heavy suitcases. There must easier access from the side but it's not immediately apparent. The car park is large and generally busy with leisure club members' cars.
We booked this hotel through Laterooms.com and managed to get a DB&B for £144 for two nights which is £44 cheaper than the price quoted to us by the hotel booking service.
Handy for a trip to Manchester city centre. A taxi costs about £20 but a cheaper alternative is to use the tram from Bury station. We stayed here after going to a concert at Manchester MEN and a shopping trip to the Trafford Centre and because we like the good economy and usual good service these hotels provide.
Salingers restaurant in the hotel provided us with an excellent evening meal and the breakfast buffet offered a good choice of cooked or cold fare.
The Village Pub is a bit drab. Loud football matches on Sky TV and a smokey atmosphere didn't encourage us to eat in here. We went to the large Pub opposite the hotel and had a decent meal smoke-free when the hotel restaurant wasn't open.
The staff are generally friendly and efficient.
We had to move rooms because the first room had a toilet that wouldn't flush. The second room was ok, though the shower heat control was broken but luckily not too hot and the bed creaked like an old rocking chair! Rooms are spacious and air conditioned with TV and tea/coffee making facilities and the second had a mini fridge.
Modern decor and a comfortable lobby area. I would use this hotel again for any future mini-breaks in the Manchester area.

We paid £59 per night for a twin room including breakfast.
At this price, the accommodation was on a par with similar alternatives e.g: Travelodge et al.
The room was not huge by any means, but pretty clean & with a superbly powerful shower. The bed did seem somewhat older than the hotel itself (built 2001) but wasn't uncomfortable. Personally, I didn't think there was any difference between a duvet & a quilt, but we certainly had one or the other!
The main benefit of staying here is the free access to the pool, jacuzzi, steam room & sauna which were quite satisfactory.
Breakfast was fantastic for the price paid, but I would have expected perfection if I'd paid the ad hoc price for it ( £9.95).
One thing that might have irritated some more than others was the music from the bar which went on fairly late. Fortunately we were tired/merry enough to get to sleep in spite of it.
Bury town centre is walkable but if you're going to Gigg Lane for the footy you'd have a fair old hoof.

Just got back from a last minute weekend break here and had a great time. Had promised the kids a weekend's camping trip but we chickened out as the weather turned fowl, and we hunted for an alternative to the camping experience on the eve of our break and came up with this.
We got a great DBB deal for 2 nights for £129 for the 4 of us (2 adults + 2 kids),(kids ate breakfast for free but we needed to pay for their evening meal in the restaurant, this was very reasonable at around £4 each). We had a nice spacious room with a double bed, bed settee for the 2 kids and a table and 2 chairs. The bathroom had both bath and shower and the room was clean and modern in decoration. We loved the pool and leisure facilities. The hotel has a huge gym with seperate ladies gym if you prefer. We found the service to be excellent throughout and wouldn't hesitate in returning to this hotel, or maybe we'll try one of the other hotels in the Village chain next time.
On the whole, we did this weekend on a tight budget and spent our days exploring the local Lancashire countryside and put our NT membership to good use - Meaning the weekend came in under budget with 4 happy people. What more can you ask for? :-D

The Hotel is part of the De Vere group oddly I have an aversion to "corparate hotels" I do not know why and it is irrational as most places are.
Any way I was quite surprised the room was standard nothing special nothing adverse either. The leisure facilities are fine sauna steam room gyms pool etc.
What seperated this hotel was the staff they are genuinly friendly and helpful. As I was attending a function i cant comment oin the restaurant save to say thet the menu at the function was fine the bar wsas not a rip off which is what normally mars a place.
Access is ideal straight off the m66 junction 2.

We have just returned from a two night stay at the Village hotel in Bury. The location was picked as we have friends who live near by. I was slightly nervous due to the not so brilliant reviews on TA, but I found a great deal on Laterooms which was 2 nights B and B, with dinner on the first night for £139 (for the 2 of us!), which I thought was a bit of a steal. The meals were lovely and the bed was comfortable and there was full use of the health club which included a swimming pool, sauna and a steam room. Great if you can get it at the right price!

Food quality very good
Swimming pool, Gym
Thursday night was karaoke-night so I could not sleep because of the noise.
Negative point : no minibar in the room.
