Myself and my husband have just returned from an overnight spa break at the Dunkenhalgh. This was our third visit to this hotel and have stayed in a beautiful, spacious room on each stay. This time we have a very pleasant surprise as we had been upgraded for free on arrival to a superior room which was a lovely touch.
Staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The beds are comfy and the rooms have been exceptionally clean on each stay we have had.
The pool and spa areas were also very clean and was nice and quiet whilst we were there so plenty of beds around the pool to relax on and plenty of space to access to steam rooms etc.
We had a 2 course meal in the restaurant which we both enjoyed and was delicious and reasonably priced. Breakfast was lovely (as has been on the last 2 visits as well), plenty to choose from, plenty of choice with hot food and lots of fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt etc.
We will definitely be returning, thank you Dunkenhalgh.

Having stayed here previously and always having wonderful experiences where we felt welcome and part of the Mercure family, it made sense to book this venue for dinner, bed and breakfast, to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary .
We truly received the VIP treatment it was clear the staff knew we were celebrating so many well wishes!
The reception was very busy as there was a Harley Davidson convention, so a high volume of check ins, the reception team were not flustered but worked through with cheerful dispositions and timely efficiently - well done Becky and Chiti.
Sarah and Emily ensured our room was welcoming with a Dunkenhalgh anniversary card and there were some behind the scenes team members with towel sculptures we did not have the heart to dismantle ❤️
Due to the aforementioned convention, which added lots of personality and education to our stay, the bar was very busy due to the operational effectiveness of the team everyone was served within a short time frame resulting in a festive and fun atmosphere.
Ben showed us to our sparkling dinner table and took some photos for our memory chest, then ensured we had the critical celebratory drinks and the wonderful Chloe advised us of the dinner package and our further options. Service was at a steady pace allowing us to chat and rest between courses at no point did we feel under pressure to vacate the restaurant although it was always at capacity.
The food offer and value had definitely moved up a bar we were spoilt for choice and really did need time to savour each mouthful ridiculously the gravy was the show stealer for me 😄
As ever we visited the spa and steam room again lots of work has been actioned here and it was a very relaxing experience setting the pace for our weekend.
Breakfast was very well stocked with great variety and it was lovely to receive the welcome back from Aziz a long standing and real ambassador for the brand.

Came here last minute to book 2 rooms as the other hotel was a disaster. Prior to coming, tired to ring the hotel numerous times and no answer.
The receptionist Chitma or Chigma her name was, told us it was fully booked, being very dismissive, unhelpful it felt almost disrespectful despite seeing rooms available on booking.com, her excuse for not helping she was "she logged out the workstation". Maybe understanding she was out in a rush to get off her shift, she could of simply said so, then called her colleague to assist rather than lying its fully booked. It's a shame.
After requesting to speak to a manager, Sherry or Sheryaer came and sorted everything out within 5 minutes with top quality service. Thank you Sherry! In the morning was greeted with Pierce also nice gentleman who is helpful and was apologetic about the unhelpful colleague from last night, and was greeted by Lucy who seemed friendly.
For the price you pay, you cannot complain about some imperfections you may come across in the room. Comp minibar with couple of drinks. Spa facilities did not have time but additional cost £10. Breakfast was OK.
Thank you Sherry, Pierce and Lucy!

Love going here, location is perfect. We even get to have a laugh with the staff. We check in all times of the morning due to working night shifts, and are always welcomed and looked after by staff and management.
With having the spa and pool makes it even better to relax and forget about life for a while. Credit to everyone who works here and makes everyone welcome.

Arrived late for a 2 night break as we were visiting Manchester. Great location outside of the busy centre, it has a country cottage feel.
We booked a standard room but was complimentary upgraded to an Executive Suite which was a lovely gesture / suprise.
Rooms were clean, hotel was busy of all age ranges + kids which was nice to see. Staff were always present and helpful. My only twinge was the breakfast price (£16.50 each!) for a very small buffet. We regret not venturing out for breakfast but it is what it is. Overall a nice, cosy hotel we would consider this place again if we ever need to be in Manchester :)

Efficient, courteous reception. Bags taken to room for me. The two ladies in the bar were very friendly and so helpful. Aziz (?) in the dining room for breakfast was so welcoming and helpful - offered to get my coffee for me and I saw him bringing other guests’ breakfast for them. Big shout out to all the staff I encountered; the service throughout the hotel went above and beyond and I highly recommend a stay at the Dunkenhalgh.

I stayed here with my best friend for my birthday present from her and honestly it was amazing, Stephen the deputy general manager went above and beyond for us and the service he provided was impeccable and he deserves recognition for this as he is a credit to the establishment.
Our server Chloe (black hair) at the restaurant was so so lovely and extremely attentive also. The room we stayed in was beautifully designed and very welcoming, I had the best nights sleep I have had in a very long time so so comfy.
The food was so delicious at the restaurant for dinner and the breakfast buffet was to die for! So much selection!
I will 100% be back and looking forward to it, thank you for making my birthday one to remember ❤️

The grounds and building looks impressive. Room well decorated and modern. Check in easy and very friendly. However there was some issues:
As we were staying in room 64 - through the courtyard, and it was a very heavy rain at that time, we got to the room soaked, as you need to walk outside to get to your room.
The guttering system caused very loud noise from the rain through the night so our sleep wasn't comfortable.
We have used swimming pool and saunas, which were great. Warm swimming pool and spacious and efficient steam rooms, saunas.
We also went to the bar for evening and this was quite disappointment. We ordered margarita pizza with mushrooms and according to menu it suppose to have mozzarella in it. Instead it was parmeggiano, which make the pizza very salty and extremely oily. We didn't enjoy that. Will we stay again? Probably not.

Unfortunately the grand image was not reflected in the room I was in. It was fine for a business trip, but feels tired and unloved. The issues highlighted in the attached photos could be remedied easily, but it seems they haven't got around to it.
