Every member of staff we meet during the evening of Saturday 21st and morning of Sunday 22nd March were wonderful. Especially the guy on reception and Mr Barnes that served our dinner.
Very family friendly staff.
Thank you, we will definitely return if we are ever in Preston again.

Arrived to find the advertised car park quite a way away over the bus depot, then checked in after carrying my bags quite a long way to a computer glitch on check in. Other than that check in ok.
The room was ok but nothing special a little small to spread out all of my things to do a little work.
The restaurant was ok for dinner but the waiter and waitress seemed to be pushing extra drinks a I was asked once if I wanted another but to be asked a second and both times to ask if I required more alcohol was a little pushy.
The room was noisy at night, I could hear the buses quite late into the night then again early in the morning.
Also in the morning you could hear motorbikes quite plain.
The bed was made in a way that I had to pull the blankets to get them over me as the room was not warm.
Breakfast was good except for the wait to be seated there was a que of 5 deep
breakfast was good with all you would expect.

Only stayed one night on business.
The first room I was allocated was a little on the small side and I asked to change it due to it having an adjoining door (I am a female travelling alone), the second room was much better, on the road side, but not noisy or disruptive. I had an evening meal in the restaurant, which was kind of pub food but good quality pub food.
Good choice of food at breakfast time.
If I revisit Preaton, I would stay here again.

Checked in later on in the day around 6pm and lots of people loitering in reception area so was abit confusing who had already been served and who had not but was checked in quickly and the reception staff were nice.
Room small but enough space, if I was going to be fussy a few more plug sockets would be nice especially if it was two girls sharing (we only had 2 plug sockets).
No problem coming back late at night, the lifts on the ground floor don't work so you have to walk past reception which I guess is to stop people bringing people back in after a night out!
Breakfast was annoying, we got to the breakfast bit and it said wait here to be seated, we waited 15 minutes and nobody came to tell us to sit down, couldnt find anyone to ask. We went back to reception but one receptionist on duty and there was a que so we went back into breakfast and just sat down. As soon as we sat down someone came over asking if we had booked, explained we had been waiting over 15 minutes at the entrance.
Check out was also irritating, one receptionist on duty and no less than 5 people waiting to check out, not good if you are in a rush and want to get gone.
Nice hotel, clean, friendly staff. Would stay again but could do with more staff especially peak times such as check out and breakfast.

I feel a bit sad about this because some of the staff were lovely and we did t use the less facilities but they looked well equipped but really the hotel was very basic and both ours and our sons room had a quite unpleasant smell. My daughter was there for the Ironman as we’re a lot of the guests but the hotel also had a wedding going on with a loud disco. I know hotels need to make their money but the noise from the disco did disrupt sleep which isn’t good if your doing 14 hours of exercise the next day! Having said that they were very helpful with the bike and did do an early - very early breakfast for the Ironmen! I think the rooms need upgrading. Also as I’m sure many places do - more staff in the evening - we went into the bar and every table needed clearing.

Went here for a Murder mystery, what a fantastic evening, the Staff were fantastic especially Jimmy and Chris, who really looked after us and the girls behind the bar, who even joined in to try and solve the mystery. The food was excellent and served at just the right time, so the actors did not collide with them. All in all a great night

Mecure Georgian House Hotel bolton, where do we begin. Our wedding day was amazing all thanks to your team! We couldnt of asked for a more perfect day. The attention to detail you went into to make everything perfect and making sure us and our guests where happy, you all went above and beyond for us! Rochelle and Chris you guys where so lovely in planning our wedding. No amount of emails and phone calls was too much for you.
Rochelle coming in on your day off to make sure everything went the way you hoped it would.
Chris when our band hadn't arrived you rang them up to check where they was for us.
The little details you did to make your venue look perfect for us and even coning off part of the car park so we could get the perfect pictures. Nothing was too much trouble to have the wedding we wanted.
The hotel and grounds is so beautiful with the gorgeous view of Rivington. The food was lovely and service was great. All the staff at the hotel was so lovely and welcoming to everyone. The hotel was so clean.
We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or event. 5* recommendation.
Love Peter and and Sammi Jackson x

Place was generally clean, the staff were very helpful and friendly. However, the entire place needs updating. It's like travelling back in time. Decor in all areas is poor. The room was a decent size, but as everywhere else, desperately needs updating.

A lovely weekend in a hotel of the good old times with a marvellous swimming pool. Clean, neat, tidy, wonderful all apart a very unpleasant surprise that initially we were offered a coupon for 13.75 per person instead of the dinner we had paid for., while the cheapest item in the menu was some 15 pounds. It is very fortunate that the manager & staff responded instantly and we were served a proper meal -nothing big but it was delicious and to the appropriate for the hotel standard. The breakfast was on the other hand extremely rich and I have no doubt in my mind that if there were a proper dinner I would have given a 5 out of 5 rating.

In August 2022, Eleanor said about Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Myself and my now husband had our wedding at the Georgian House on Saturday 6th August 2022 and I honestly can’t thank Rochelle enough for all her help leading up to the wedding! She was so responsive on her emails whenever I had a question and she put my mind at ease if I had any worries. We had several meetings with Rochelle in the lead up and she was always so professional, friendly and helpful. She couldn’t do enough for us. I also want to thank Chris and Jimmy who were amazing too. Chris stayed with me late the night before the wedding to ensure I had told him all the finer details regarding decor and he put my mind at ease, and he helped so much all day. Jimmy also went to so much effort, helping with ringing suppliers on the day, bringing a fan to my room, the list goes on! Thank you so much Rochelle, Chris and Jimmy, you guys were amazing. Kelsi was also fabulous during the wedding breakfast, ensuring everyone had the correct meals and that it was all good for us. The food was amazing so thank you to all the catering staff, everyone said how good the food was, including the buffet which was amazing. Again a huge thank you, I felt so welcomed on my wedding day and like I had known you all for years! We had a really good laugh along the way. Thank you, from Mr & Mrs Dean :)
