We stayed there on Whit Monday night as part of a deal with Groupon to see Take that in Manchester.The hotel is very pleasant and the staff were very friendly. As some of the previous reviewers have said the rooms are a "tired" and need a bit of a makeover but saying that it certainly would not put me off in returning again

We stayed for two nights on a trip to Scotland.
The Suite 229 was lovely and the bed so comfortable.
We did not have Dinner but the breakfasts were excellent.
The bar area was good.
The staff were so friendly.
When going that way, we will definitely stay again.

A mixed stay while using this hotel as a business base.
Asked for a quiet room and got it. They have a wing reserved to provide for a quiet stay and it works, mostly.
The facilities are excellent with a good gym and pool and the Zumba? class was really fun. There is also a hairdressers and beautician.
Staff were friendly but in short supply, especially poor as it was a big match night and only one untrained bar lady for drinks and food orders. We felt sorry for her but the wait was far to long at 15/20 mins to be served a drink. When the food arrived 2/3 were o.k. We did not pay for mine! We did try the restaurant but on entering we could hear it was just as chaotic. The next day the bar was fully staffed we noticed.
For the rest of the stay we ate out and can recommend the pub just up the road (turn left out of hotel) just a short walk and serving good food with good service.
Would possibly us it again.

This hotel is right on the edges of Bolton about a fifteen minute taxi journey away.
The hotel itself is a standard business type place, the fixtures and fittings are a bit tired, my room had no aircon and in fact the extractor in the bathroom didn't even work. This meant I had to leave the window open and got bitten two or three times.
The saving graces for this hotel were the most excellent and helpful staff team and a good breakfast.
The gardens were nice around the hotel and it is five minutes in a cab from the football ground so convenient for match days.

Stayed at the Mercure Bolton for the Ironman Bolton weekend. I was support for brother-in-law. Really enjoyed the experience. The hotel is just round the corner from the Bolton FC stadium which is where registration and Transition 2 is situated, trust me when you are looking to drop off and pick your bike being close is a definite advantage.
Room was fine, and there is a good gym on site. Best thing about the hotel was the service and food. Staff very friendly, especially Irene behind the bar, and understood the needs of the triathletes during the weekend. Food was also brilliant, pre race carb loading buffet was very popular as was the post race pig out buffet. Lots of triathletes staying at the hotel which made for a great atmosphere.
I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay for the Ironman weekend and hopefully i will be doing it myself in the near future.

We recently stayed at The Mercure Bolton Georgian house Hotel while on a coach tour holiday. The staff were helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble - when I needed an extension lead for an electrical item it appeared in my room within 30 minutes. When I had trouble with the electronic room key I was told it would be sorted and when I returned to my room it was working perfectly. The food was very good and the chef was an amazing true Lancastrian who apart from providing an excellent menu entertained us at the servery with his extrovert and amusing banter. I enjoyed a swim in the pool which was very refreshing - my only criticism was that the jacuzzi was not working and could do with updating. Also I would advise travellers to ask for a room facing towards the countryside rather than the main road as the road is very noisy. I would certainly be happy to stay here again.

The hotel itself is very attractive and stands in lovely countryside. I was recently here on a coach trip, and although overall my stay was enjoyable, there is much room to improve. Firstly being used to London prices I was shocked to be charged £9.50 for a large glass of white wine but the worst part of my stay was the blantent rudeness of the two lady receptionists. At first I thought their contempt was aimed only at guests on the coach tour, however I overheard them speaking to other customers in the same rude manner.They were content to have a queue of people with no apology, blamed several people on different days for causing their door keys to become deactivated and being most unhelpful regarding requests about extractor fans not working and the shower needs of elderly customers. I believe the ladies on Reception should behave more like the lovely staff in the restaurant and bar.

Recently attending a wedding reception here and it was very convenient.
The grounds are lovely and big but the rooms are actually quite small. The reception room was very ideal, plenty of tables for the meal and good polite staff serving the food and drinks. The bar is small but never waited too long to get a drink which was good.
it was a reasonable price to stay over and the rooms are nice and clean, but again they are small. you can have your drinks put onto your room tab which is handy so you don't have to deal with cash all night.
breakfast was included in the price of the room, it was a traditional buffet style breakfast but not many tables in the room.
The one thing that lets this place down is the price of the drinks, they are expensive. other than that it was a lovely weekend.
plenty of car parking spaces too :)

So I just stayed a night in the hotel as it was a business visit but I would like to mention that the front desk was extremely attentive and quick to respond even when I checked in the wee hours of the night. It was a clean room like every Mercure and was a comfortable night sleep. I breakfast spread wasn't as brilliant as I expected but was decent nonetheless .. Overall a pleasant stay

We recently had our wedding at the Georgian House Hotel and I must say we were not disappointed.
From the first time we drove into the hotel grounds, we knew that we wanted to book our wedding here. Our first meeting with Marie was excellent and the quote was emailed though to us within a couple of hours. We did not even bother looking at any other venues as we had our hearts set on the Georgian House.
In all the run up to the wedding, Marie was a godsend, answering and clearing up all my queries and worries of the day. All emails were answered quickly and fully. In our meetings, I made a number of changes, all of which were no problem at all. The mealtasting was excellent, as we had opted for the hot buffet of Lancashire Hotpot, Curry, Lasagne and Salmon we had a choice of what we would like to try, also with the desserts we were undecided so tried 3! We settled on the apple crumble which I can honestly say is the best we have ever tasted.
On the wedding day itself Louise ran our day and like Marie, nothing was too much trouble for her. Even when I was asking to turn down the air con then turn it up again a number of times. Our day ran so smoothly, with Louise making sure I was at the Registrar on time, at the ceremony room on time, letting us look at the wedding breakfast rooms and evening reception rooms to make sure were happy before the guests were allowed in. She also calmed me down on a number of occasions when the emotion of the day started to get to me.
We had a lot of complements on the meal with not one bad word being said - even my brother who states he is allergic to vegetables ate the vegetable soup!
The complementary bedroom was amazing with the four poster bed. The swans made out of towels were a lovely touch and it was a shame to remove them. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept very well. Breakfast was lovely with a large variety.
I would like to say one last thank you to all the staff at the Georgian House hotel especially Louise and Marie for making our day so special.
All in all we knew we had made the right decision in picking the Georgian House Hotel for our special day and I would not hesitate to recommend friends and family.
