⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Mostly very good but needs a couple of changes

The check in was straight forward and friendly. The room had all the facilities you need but you could improve on 2 points. 1) the quilts on the beds were far too heavy and warm. Lots of hotels are like this and take no account of the seasons. You should provide lightweight summer quilts and put an extra blanket in the room for people who need one. 2) I found the height of the bath very low, with the handles on the sides of the bath consequently low as well. In these circumstances you should put a handgrip higher up on the wall. I found it difficult to get in and out of the bath.
