Bury Ramsbottom Old Mill Hotel and Leisure Club

.

I’ve stayed here previously, and I make allowances for the quirky layout, but this time my room was unacceptably bad. The windows (room at ground floor level) cannot be secured shut. The wall-mounted TV was dangerously loose and falling off. I reported these issues and was offered another room, which I declined as I had settled in to my room - but then in the morning the electric shower could only produce a cold dribble, with ‘low pressure’ warning light on. That room was not fit to rent out to customers! The restaurant food and service was good, as usual.

Our stay was spoiled by excessively noisy and drunken local ( probably ) mature layabouts male and femail who had no regard for other travellers. Why the hotel did not refuse to serve them the all inclusive drinks I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND. The evening meal was a disaster and one dish was too salty to eat and was eventually replaced with a strange warm salad dish, which was presumably an invention of the chef. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING.

We had to ask to move rooms, as there was a noisy fan (or similar) running outside the window. Room change was effected quickly and without any fuss

Staff helpful. The room was poor - electric shower, toilet seat broken, towel radiator not working, oil filled heater (assume radiator not working), decor very old with patches for repairs. Probably the worst value for money hotel that we have ever stayed at :-(
