⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Stay at the Boat and Horses I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Boat and Horses in Oldham, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making check-in smooth and stress-free. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is warm and inviting, with a lovely balance of modern comfort and traditional charm. My room was spotless, well-appointed, and surprisingly spacious, with everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like tea and coffee facilities, quality toiletries, and fast, free Wi-Fi. One of the standout features is the pub and restaurant on-site. The food was absolutely delicious—generous portions, well-cooked, and served promptly by friendly staff. The views of the canal just outside added a really peaceful touch to the dining experience. Location-wise, the Boat and Horses is perfectly situated for exploring both Oldham and nearby Manchester, with great transport links and a quiet setting that’s ideal for unwinding after a busy day. All in all, it was a fantastic stay. I would highly recommend the Boat and Horses to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and great hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning!

Convenient location, safe, clean and nice beds. The staff were great, although the breakfast team was run off their feet. The breakfast is basic and mediocre, but I think it is a matter of getting what you pay for.
