Perfect location, nice manager and staff. Room was small and clean but unable to open windows, so very stuffy. Single room could do with an uplift. If the windows would open, it would make a big difference. Breakfast was great.

A small, but adequate, clean room and shower room, with temperature controlled shower: (it's becoming a necessity. :) ). The towels and bath mat were also of high quality. The breakfast was OK, and there was parking around the back.

I had a great breakfast on my first morning, but for my second/last night, they forgot to be around to prepare my breakfast... Nevertheless, helpful and friendly staff. A very convenient stay in the old, centre of Bury, much enjoyed.

Bed was very comfortable. Shower was powerful, bathroom clean. Walls, however are very thin, you can even hear people snoring. My room was just above the smoking area outside, which set the smoke alarm off. I came downstairs at 7.45 am, all doors were locked, so I couldn't have breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Easy to find and with a small to medium sized pub underneath. The room, although fairly basic and small (as reflected in the price) was clean. It had a perfectly acceptable en-suite shower and toilet complete with towels, a small TV set and a kettle with tea and coffee, My only gripe was a musty smell by the door at the bottom of the stairs in the main hallway (might have been coming from the carpet down there). For a budget option I have no complaints though especially as there was a cooked breakfast included in the price and the staff were terrific. Beware though that the rooms all overlook the beer garden which can get noisy at night (an occupational hazard with many rooms over pubs) but overall I enjoyed my stay.
