Grains Bar Hotel  

Full English breakfast was good and staff were friendly.

Room not cleaned every day. Towels not changed daily. Several items broken in bathroom. Strong smell of dog in upstairs lounge.

We found the owner to obtrusive,intrusive and down right rude.i booked this room and under special instructions requested an en suite. When we arrive we were placed in an en suite when we came down from the room I asked if I could book for the next week whne I told her what I paid I was told that I was in the wrong room and should have been in a standard room. I explained that that should have been made clear when I booked or she should have known when she put us in the room. Anyway she wwnet on and bloody on so and even told me that I should have know what room I was getting for my money, the descripotion I got on the booking form was "room" we checked out next day and went elsewhere

Location except when i got snowed in food was traditional good quality and well presented.I would have no problem recommending grains for a quality budget stay

this was our 2nd stay at Grains Bar Hotel, and it didn't dissapoint, lovely location, beautiful lounge area and good food, very good value, I would recommend this hotel for anyone who wishes to stay in the area

Pat the lady owner is the loveliest lady.....northern hospitality at its best...I Can't think of a better place to stay if you want a warm homely environment!! If you want 5 star go find a five star hotel..Grains bar is not five star, you get what you pay for in a 3 star hotel, but a hug and a kiss on the way out from Pat is worth 100 stars. Thanks for a lovely weekend Pat, will be back in March after your holiday xxxxxx Rachael and Oli...Frankfurt xxx

I loved the fact that, although so close to Manchester, it had a nice country atmosphere. I also liked the Indian restaurant nearby.

Good location for a family event at Saddleworth Golf Club. Staff were helpful and pleasant and found a safe place to house my husband's bike.

Walls and ceiling paper thin. We were kept awake most of the night(until 6.45am!) by noisy, selfish guests above us. Also curtains were very thin and the outside lights of the hotel lit up the room, making it difficult to sleep (as well as noisy guests)!

Good location for me, and reasonably priced rooms.

It's a bit dead in the evening/night. I got there at 9.15pm and I had to scare up the owner to get checked in. The bar was already shut down. Sunday was the same story. It felt a little like a haunted house (although from the bookings and the car park it looked as if it was full).

I arrived late and the hotel cooked me a lovely meal which at short notice I really appreciated

Good value hotel in a lovely location. The staff were very friendly and efficient, I would certainly recommend this hotel to friends and I would stay here again.

Lovely hotel - very quaint - Fabulous countryside views especially on a slightly misty morning! Nice friendly staff. Great value for money. I had a shared bathroom which was very clean. TV and tea making facilities in the room - comfy bed - what more can you need after a long drive! Would definitely stay there again.

The road at the front is quite noisey because cars speed past - you probably can't hear this if your room is at the back.

Very helpful and patient staff especially Pat who waited until nearly midnight to let me in when I was delayed by motorway trafic.

Friendly family environment. Peaceful and relaxing.

Quite cold during the night. No facilities to adjust heating.
