We had our wedding here on the 16th June 2024. Its been on my mind to ensure I wrote a review. Everything was absolutely fantastic. You quite simply can't fault this place. The hotel itself is beautiful and all staff are so helpful and obliging. We live in Rainford and with our wedding being on a Sunday we wanted to try and keep it local so as not to expect guests to need to take a Monday off from work. If you want to feel like you are in the lake district but not at lake district prices this is the place to be. Nothing was too much trouble. Due to illness we had last minute changes to our guest list which meant changes in choice of food etc. Both Gill and Liza and are so helpful and obliging. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Big Kev and Little Kev so helpful, table set exactly how I had described. I had different table gifts and I worried some guests may get the wrong gift...worry not it was spot on! Food, everyone commented on the quality of the food, we had the beef and you certainly get a decent sized portion. Once we sent our invites and our guests saw the hotel most of them decided to book to stay over, everyone commented on the standard of everything. Breakfast the next day was also lovely. Big shout out to the staff on the day also, bar staff, waiters and reception as everyone was lovely. Not forgetting Tony the DJ who also obliged in playing a playlist just as I had described. Last shout out to reception, my mum had left her jewellery in the room after checking out. I didn't catch the lady's name but on Monday she retrieved the jewellery and put it safe until I could collect it...thank you. Its all the little things that mount up to make a perfect day. I've tried to attach a selection of photos to give a feel for how nice the outside surroundings look, with so may nice places for photographs.

This reservation was due to a change in the itinerary, so I needed to add a few extra days. When I asked the staff at the reception desk, they also helped me directly check out the room usage time. No need to check out and check in. The geographical location is actually very convenient. If you have a car, you can park here without any worries. It is worth staying. 

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here at the begining of April. What a fantastic hotel/wedding venue it is! From start to finish the day went so smoothly and everything was just perfect. The wedding breakfast food was exceptional and all of our guests commented on this! I cannot thank the staff enough, for such great organisation of the day. The rooms were set up so beautifully and the hotel grounds are well kept, neat and tidy. The hotel rooms were immaculate, spacious and very well presented. The breakfast included was lovely offering a variety of hot/cold foods. All the way through our wedding journey members of staff were on hand to answer any questions/queries and were very happy to help! Overall this venue is amazing and I would highly reccomend.

I was impressed with the outlook of the interior entrance. However, kids beds was so uncomfortable and one of the bed has a broken with sharp metal wire hanging upwards which injured my daughter's back. This shows how careless the management team are. overall rooms are way too small for a family the space to move around is via the bathroom area. Staff are OK!. Location: One of the best reason to stay at this hotel would be the location. Quite, traffic less, easy access to superstores such as Costco & fuel, Tesco, Asda fuel, gas station, few takeaway places. Great place for fitness enthusiast. Nice Pub and restaurant at your door step. under a hour away from a beach and not just a beach there are plenty other things to do but not its impossible to enjoy in a day. Number of places to enjoy with your kids. Things to do: Pleasureland (Make sure to advanced book ticket online), Splash World, pedalo Ducks £15 for 2 adults and 2 kids, Huge place to shop around and plenty places to eat. Not far from Trafford Centre. Next time I am back in Manchester I will be visiting Indoor Skydiving place called Beyond, Dyno golf park amazing place to try out with kids £18 for 2 adults 2 kids with Starbucks drink. Parking at Soutport beach at Seafront on Marine Dr costs £8 for whole day (Totally Worth it)

After an exceptional stay at the Wigan Holiday Inn Express on September 20th, 2024, I didn’t expect such a stark contrast in service at another location within the same hotel group the very next day (September 21st, 2024). This time, we experienced a completely different attitude at the front desk—rudeness and dismissiveness. Despite multiple requests for assistance, such as having my room closer to my friend’s, an hour late check-out (which my friend was granted), and fixing the issue with my room’s air conditioning (my friend’s room was fine), we were met with vague, unhelpful explanations that treating a fool. It felt like dealing with political officials dodging direct answers. For the first time ever, I left a hotel feeling genuinely angry. They might be better suited for a career in politics.

Came here on a bus tour trip. Taken immediately by how modern our bedroom was and the facilities. Also very clean. Had dinner which was excellent. We had pate and mackerel to start, sea bream for mains with potatoes and veg and dessert of cheesecake. All excellent and very well served. As my title suggests, the best hotel yet on a bus tour. Well recommended.

The hotel is not really in Chorley, being located to the south west and some distance, from Chorley. It is situated on a motorway service area which is only accessible from the northbound M6. Exit is onto the northbound M6 too. This means that you have a rather long trek along the motorway if you are intending to access local amenities - or CHORLEY. It's fine as a stopover if you are actually travelling north on the M6. The hotel required more information at check-in the most do these days and they insist on you registering a debit/credit card at reception for a room deposit. No money is taken unless you damage something but they have carte blanche to take money and argue with you later should they so choose. Very few (none in my recent experience) hotels take such measures these days. In the era of fraud and identity theft it is never ideal to hand over information of any kind. The room was very comfortable and well appointed but the shower was very slippery. There were notices in the bathroom but some effort to make the bathroom less hazardous would be more useful. Overall there are better alternatives locally that do not require card details and are much easier to get to by car, and indeed public transport or cycle. Go elsewhere for the same standard of accomodation without the hassle.
