Village Hotel Manchester Bury

• Pub & grill
• State-of-the-art gym
• Wellness club with a pool

Think of the Village Hotel Manchester Bury as a city stay without the hustle and bustle. You’ve got the ease of hopping on a tram into Manchester when you want some action, but you’re also far enough away to switch off and relax. The hotel’s just off the M66 motorway, between Manchester and Rochdale, so you can easily head out into the Lancashire countryside, or use the Metrolink tram to whisk you into Manchester city centre in half an hour.

The rooms here have everything you need. They’re simple, but stylish. They line up select Sky TV channels, which is a big bonus. There’s complimentary tea and coffee, of course. But the best bit? Charging sockets right by your bed! There are plenty of places to head outside your room, though. The Pub & Grill is a lively spot, with a packed menu of hearty dishes. Think burger stacks, fish and chips and steaks. Drooling yet?

When you want to sweat out last night’s sins, head to the Health & Wellness Club. It’s home to an indoor heated pool, a steam room and a sauna. And far from your average hotel gym. There’s a full timetable of fitness classes, a spin studio and personal trainers on hand. Other facilities include a Starbucks coffee shop and a VWorks coworking space. We weren’t joking when we said, there really is everything you need.
