Top Marks to the Saddleworth Hotel

I have never stayed here before but it looked perfect for my stay which was two nights to visit family.

I had travelled from london.

The hotel was everything as it said it was.

The hosts were even better.

As I was to find later working as a family team is how this hotel is run.

It works wonderfully well in such a fabulous house and grounds.

I'm certainly gong back and this time I'll stay longer and explore the beautiul countryside too.

Top marks to the Saddleworth Hotel for me.

Freezing cold bathroom, overpriced.

It worth the price, more like a 3 star hotel paid over £200 should be a £80 a night max. Please note that breakfast is not included in the price...wasn't work £15! Go have breakfast just down the road at Albion Farm Shop & Cafe. Probably won't every stay there again.

Wow, what a stunning hotel

Another last minute booking for me. Was expecting a small cosy hotel but this was a very glamorous and was still cosy and very friendly. My dinner and breakfast were both delicious. Thank you AJ and family x

What a strange place. Beautiful hotel, classy decor, stunning views, delicious food, but... Something felt odd. Nice chap on reception didn't seem terribly engaged. Felt he was going through the same process. Even repeated a couple of things. Waiter (owner?) seemed a bit too full of himself. You get the feeling you get what they want to give you. Dinner menu was very male-friendly. No light options. But my veggie burger and tri-cooked chips was excellent - provided I liked pepper. Breakfast was the same. Very little choice and eggs covered in pepper whether you wanted it or not. Toast arrived already buttered. I was the only female guest that night. Not sure they get many females. Lighting room difficult for doing make-up and hair. No easy access to power sockets by mirror (in dark area). But having said all of this, the hotel itself is beautiful. The bedding is stunning. No money spared on decor and furnishings. A series of contradictions!

My first stay at the Saddleworth Hotel

I loved the hotel. The service was exceptional. However some minor issues - I don’t like duvets with a top sheet as I strongly suspect only the sheet gets changed each time and not the duvet cover. For a hotel of this class I did not expect that. I have had comfier beds and would have expected not to have to pay for extra coffee pods. I also would have expected matching coat hangers!!! However none of these issues alter the fact this is a really lovely place to stay.

I stay in a lot of hotels and I cannot remember the last time that I was referred to by my first name during every conversation be it ordering a drink from the bar or food in the restaurant.
Fantastic service, thank you.

lovely location, friendly staff, very comfortable room. Love the coffee machine- not so keen on the mirror on the ceiling! Restaurant menu had no vegetarian option listed but there was one when I asked. Think it would be sensible to include at least one veggie option on the menu.

I picked this hotel on the strength of some other reviews. I had a very warm welcome and was shown to my room. I booked for dinner right away and was brought a drink while I perused the menu. I had the mushroom soup to start and lamb rump which were both delicious. I went back to my room to try and watch some TV on my iPad but the WiFi was not quite fast enough to stream. I turned off the lights around 22:15 and went to bed. Unfortunately, the guests in the room above were having a fine time treading the floorboards [marked for fixing I'm told] which did keep me awake. To make matters worse, when the WI function in the hotel was finished, one of the hotel staff decided it would be a good idea to run the hoover outside of my room from 22:40 until 23:00! This also had the effect of causing several room doors to slam as I assume other guests left their rooms to complain! This was a shame as otherwise the hotel is very well appointed and the quality of food was superb.

Convenient bit of seclusion

Second stay as in the area for work again. No thought where to book this time. First choice when visiting the area. Last time we went for the lamb, this time the rib eye steak. Worth the 4 hour drive just for that. Shame about the weather this time. Great walk down the valley from the hotel that I couldn't do this time.

The Best Hotel I've stayed at this year with work

We stayed on business - This was an outstanding hotel in every detail. We stay in hundreds of hotels a year from local Guest Houses to some of London's best 5 star hotels and this hotel is equal to any we have stayed at.

Great food but hotel overall focused on weddings!

The hotel is in a good location on saddleworth moor, despite a busy road outside noise was not an issue. The best thing is the food which is excellent and the standard of the rooms and friendliness of staff which was also very good. We were however disappointed in some aspects bearing in mind the relatively high cost of our stay, for example we were not offered morning newspapers, the bar was not manned so we had to go and find someone to get a drink in the evening. Also there was a very large billiard table in the bar/lounge, luckily no-one was playing but still odd and a reflection of the target audience (weddings). In summary, a comfortable country hotel that seems to make its trade from hosting weddings, but is putting less effort on those wanting a relaxing, pampering weekend. Also if you want a quiet weekend stay you might make sure there isn't a wedding on!

Countryside hotel

Situated in the Saddleworth countryside it is a very pleasant place to stay if you want peace and tranquility, though if the weather is wet you don't get the chance to see the countryside much. The room was excellent with a four poster bed which one could sink into with pleasure.
The owner was at hand throughout the stay and along with the staff made the short stay very pleasant indeed, and the quality of service was excellent.
Not really a hotel for the very young children, I think, as there are lots of stairs being an old converted country house.
We shall be returning there on our next trip to the area.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing stay

Fantastic stay at a beautiful hotel. Run by an incredibly friendly family who went out their way to make sure you felt welcome and were looked after. Perfect for business in the north as 30mins to an hour from major cities, and a clean quiet friendly place to stay midweek when they aren't hosting weddings.

A very lovely hotel in a remote secluded location, about 45 minutes drive to Manchester city centre.

Little gem...

Very nice stop over trip whilst on business. Owners are very nice couple and made you feel welcome,home made food. The hotel caters for weddings and I can see why you would have it there the grounds and hotel are in a beautiful location.
If there was a slight criticism the floor boards do creak when you walk over them, and the person above my room did a lot of walking ;-)
