머큐어 볼턴 조지안 하우스 호텔

A large, comfortable room in a beautiful character building set outside the villages- between Horwich Parkway & Blackpod & although sited on quite a busy road, there was no traffic noise inside. The room was well presented with all necessary extras. Breakfast was excellent-although for me, the balance of the menu (lunch & dinner) was disappointing-especially if you are vegetarian or have dietary issues. Given there are no other reasonable options, this needs some review. There is a bar open much of the day & evening. There are some excellent & varied food options at Horwich, if you are able to walk there but that is very weather dependent.( an outstanding hotel in the commercial area of Horwich.) Being an older building, it is not air conditioned & even at this early stage of the summer, it was noticeably warm during the night. It is walkable from both stations, but you would need to be able to walk freely (about 2-3 km- (1.5 miles). I would probably recommend Blackrod Station, as Horwich requires crossing a motorway access. Public transport is limited-especially on the weekends but if you want total peace & relaxation & especially if you have transport, this is a wonderful retreat & I look forward to returning soon
