It was very convenient for Haydock Park races, parking available and a 10 to 15 minute leisurely walk. Staff were friendly and welcoming and managed to have a room ready beforecwe set off for the races.

Green kings puds are great for a cheap, good quality meal and drink. The fact there is a hotel with nice clean spacious room next door makes it an easy choice. The rooms where clean, with daily house keeping. The only point that could do with improvement was the hall paint work was badly scratched.

Great place, staff friendly and menu great. The room is clean and has everything you need. For the price id expect the coffee and tea area to he filled properly as there was no sweetner replaced. The bathroom plug overflow was broken also and hanging off. A bit of attention to detail and this place would be great 😀😀

Was 20 minutes waiting but nothing happened Think may be new and badly trained. Bathroom sink wouldn't empty We were tolf to pull the handle th9likg on nscl of tap which we'd dome tried again but no joy. Nobody came to look at it. Cold used water still in bowl in morning. Not nice and no staff cared.

We have stayed here many times over the years. The staff and the breakfast have always been brilliant but in recent times it was getting tired so we stopped coming. A recent refurb has made such a difference. We would happily recommend this place if you want a clean tidy room with a comfortable bed and good breakfast.

We stay at The Bay Horse Hotel in Wigan We arrived about 15 minutes before you could check-in they were quite friendly but we still can't get in till about 2:30 which by then was over the time that we could've got in it was clean and tidy the only disadvantage is I didn't have any drawers to put your clothes in . No heated towel rail which was a disappointment we had to ask for some more tea as there was only two in the room I went into the hotel there was a funny smell but once we actually got through another door you couldn't smell it. Overall the stay with average.

Stayed here a year ago and wasn’t impressed with room but the food was really good. This time it was the opposite. The rooms have been transformed and I was very happy with mine. Food in the pub was average and breakfast was very disappointing, with cold under cooked bacon covered with white ‘scum’ and yesterday’s wrinkly sausage. Should have had the continental option.
