Needed a family room, for visits to extended family, great location for doing so. Service, bar and breakfast was very good.

Good location for the wedding
Room was adequate fur our needs
Bed was softer than we are used to.
Pillow inserts not as clean as we would expect for a hotel.

We visited Last Drop over New Year's Eve 2025/26. It was our second time at the hotel in three years, but overall it seems to be going downhill and I'm not sure we'll return.
Starting with the good bits: the hotel looks great and is in a great location for visiting Manchester, Liverpool and the surrounding area. Our room was clean and comfortable, with a bath+shower, tea/coffee facilities etc. The room got nice and warm if we turned the radiator up, though it did make some funny noises while heating.
The staff were, in general, friendly and welcoming and the food and drinks in the bar area were decent. There's a good amount of parking at the hotel and it's in a nice area on the edge of a new housing estate with some grassy areas to walk around.
Next, the not so good: breakfast was overall disappointing. The selection of continental food is mixed and the hot food, while served to order, is poor quality - fatty bacon and cheap sausages. The beans and hash browns are the best bit. The service for hot food can also be slow, with some guest being served ahead of those who sat down before them. The older lady who seated us most days always had a severe look and wasn't very friendly - the younger staff were actually better and more welcoming.
The spa, which was a highlight of our previous visit, has gone downhill. Firstly, you have to pre-book a time slot between 1-7pm, presumably to avoid overcrowding, but this isn't policed very well so it's usually packed late afternoon/early evening. The sauna/steam rooms are lukewarm (possibly due to the amount of people opening and closing the doors all the time). The changing room floors are often filthy and don't seem to get cleaned regularly.
For New Year's Eve, we paid £25 each for their entertainment. The band were okay but the 'street food' felt like an afterthought and wasn't good value (£8.95 for a few lukewarm nachos in a cardboard box).
Overall, we made the best of our visit and did have a good time, but the difference between our first visit and this time is enough to tell me that it's heading in the wrong direction, probably as a result of cost-cutting measures. I don't think we'll be back anytime soon.

Not impressed with room, very tired although bathroom was clearly new and luxurious. Food at breakfast was undercooked, pale and barely warm.

A friendly comfortable hotel with cottages available. We booked a cottage which was quiet, very comfortable and warm, not far from the hotel, The availability of a full body massage at the Spa was wonderful. The manager's help in helping my husband connect to the EV charger was much appreciated. All the staff gave good service and were welcoming and helpful.

Location, cleanliness and service cannot be faulted. It was not a cheap stay. The use of the spa and optional treatments are an advantage.
We did not use the restaurant for either dinner or break. We felt
nearly £19 for breakfast was a little expensive.

We enjoyed our stay. The service was good, staff are friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfy. Food was good quality and we enjoyed the spa facilities. We attended on a party night and enjoyed the music and dancing. We would recommend and return again

Love this hotel went twice last year in a space of a couple of months food and all staff lovely only downside is if you have noisy guests staying above you who only care about themselves

This was perhaps one of the strangest places I've stayed at. Basically a tailor made, mock village. Very sweet.
However, there's a lot that could be improved.
The room was boiling hot, even when I opened windows and turned off the radiator. Given that it was about 4 degrees outside I've got no idea how the inside got to be sauna temperature.
Poor room amenities. No hairdryer, moisturiser or conditioner. I tend not to pack too much as most places offer these things.
The swimming pool changing rooms are badly in need of renovation.
The pool was freezing cold and dark - barely lit. The towel had a weird smell. The outside hot pool was lovely however.
The food in the he restaurant wasn't great. The pizza base was as thin as a wrap.
There's two ways onto the main road where the hotel is. One had the largest pot holes I've ever seen. I'm surprised my car wasn't badly damaged to be honest. Then severe speed bumps. I exited the other way and that was fine. When I mentioned it at check in, the receptionist grunted and was dismissive.
Overall, for the reasonable price it was ok but definite improvements could be made. I can't imagine it was would be hugely costly to make tweaks and then more could be charged anyway.

Its a nicely situated hotel sitting in lovely grounds with a large car park. No complaints at all regarding the room or the service. We stayed just 2 nights. Beds were comfortable, room was clean and well maintained. Staff were excellent. Thankyou. Just wanted to mention one or two things regarding the Spa. It should be a nice experience and we were looking forwards to having a swim, steam and sauna. Alas it was not to be I'm afraid. The actual place is well laid out with changing facilities, a pool, beds and the Thermal suite of Saunas, Steam, Aromatherapy and Salt rooms surrounding a Hot Jacuzzi pool which has a semi outside feel with Infinity effect. Sounds good. In truth however it really needs a good cleaning regime putting in place. The windows (mainly dividing windows) are grubby and very obviously not cleaned regularly. The glass doors into each room are the same. Of the 5 rooms only the Steam room is lighted tho lights do exist in each.. the bulbs going and not replaced. Why? Did they all go at once?
The temperature of the main pool is quite chilly and certainly doesn't draw you in to swim. On day 1 the Thermal Jacuzzi pool was pretty uninspiring temperature wise yet on Day 2 it was great. The difference was quite marked. Why?. Someone says it's Time of Year that comes into play temperature wise. It was quite cold outside but surely it's part of the allure of the place and should be controlled as such. Lastly...the changing facilities. Though a little outdated the single comment I can make follows a familiar path...Cleanliness. Used towels on the floor, used plastic bottles cast aside, and tbh the place would benefit from steam cleaning followed by, again, regular effective housekeeping. I strikes me that it's a Super facility which is being badly let down by poor attention to detail. We booked on a good deal and too many things seemed avoidably Hit n Miss.
In short. I can imagine if cleaned and maintained the place will be so much better and therefore more of an enjoyable option for a short break. We came to visit friends and its more than likely we'll return to Last Drop. I truly hope they listen. I'll follow up.
