Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Birch Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Birch Hotel provides comfortable bedding and a convenient location, making it easy to access the motorway exits. The rooms are generally a good size, some offering bright center lights. The breakfast is often praised, especially in the well-lit and decorated dining room; however, a few guests have noted that some rooms appear dated, with potential issues such as mould. many guests find it a good value option, particularly appreciating its quiet setting and easy access to locations such as Bury Metro RC track and the M62.

Acceptable Stay

clean facilitiesgood breakfastperfect locationpoor facilitiescramped roomscalding shower
The location worked well for visiting family (very convenient!). The room had good, clean facilities. I found the breakfast to be satisfactory.
There was no toilet paper holder in the bathroom. The shower swivelled when the water came out, and it was either cold or scalding. The room size felt small and cramped to me.
