We stayed at this hotel for two nights and had a great experience. The room was clean and comfortable, with a really good bed that made for a restful sleep. The breakfast each morning was tasty and satisfying, with plenty of options. I also appreciated the free parking, which made everything more convenient. Overall, a very pleasant stay!

A great place to stay, we used it for an overnight to watch a band at the AO arena in Manchester. Plenty of parking space and the rooms are comfortable, nice bed and great shower. Don't expect luxury here but it does the job well for the price point. All staff we interacted with were very nice, we had lunch and breakfast here and both were good. Overall, highly recommended and we'll be back.

Having stayed at other JW Lees properties, I was a little disappointed by my stay at the Boat House. The accommodation felt like a rundown Premier Inn and my room needed some attention. The toilet bowl was damaged and the bathroom just didn't feel clean. The restaurant lacked any flair and the staff just delivered food with no interest. Breakfast was poor quality which surprised me as I would have expected a higher standard (through prior experiences). Perhaps my expectations of the Boat and Horses was unfairly higher but I probably wouldn't stay again.

Some great staff. Shout out to Kaye who was looking after our room, nothing was too much trouble. There was a great young lady served us in the bar who helped made our stay an enjoyable one. I didn’t get her name unfortunately but she has a great singing voice.

Inside the holes of the hotel, and in the hotel rooms was a very musky smell. And I guess I learned you really get what you pay for. The room was fine and larger than some others that we had stayed in during this trip. The food at the restaurant for dinner was actually pretty good.
