Boat & Horses in Oldham

Nice staff Decent sized rooms Attentive when asked for a fan to go in my room

Me and my cousin booked 1 night on way back from Birmingham nec can't fault it infact we've booked in for the Easter Bank Holiday weekend so we can get to experience better

The review is asking me to leave comments about the rooms, unfortunately I can't do that as I never stayed but I did however visit for there carvery and it was not a disappointing trip!! Fresh well cooked meal I tried my tummy on all three meats and they were lovely. I now need to try the breakfast to see how good that is now iv tried there carvery, 100 percent recommended, the place looked clean and tidy and the staff were brilliant.

taken my wife today for Sunday roast carvery she liked it but I ordered fish chips she had eaten hers before I received my meal it taken 45 minutes before I got it I would probably order the same as my wife next time the carvery she loved it

A fantastic location. Very welcoming staff. Lovely and delicious food. As close to perfect as you can get.

Nice rooms stayed here twice now and will do again in future helpful staff lent me a phone charger, food to me room and a 10 pound loyalty card to spend at bar well recommend thank to all. 5 🌟 review

Last minute decision to eat out for tea. Plenty of space between tables. Plenty of room. Varied menu Table 26 Had the duck bon bons. To die for. So flavoursome. Steak tasty and juicy Apple crumble. Loved the crumble. Amazing food Lily our waitress always had a smile nothing was too much trouble for her. All staff friendly looked liked they enjoying their job. We will certainly be back! Already posted on facebook. Will be recommending to friends

Brilliant helpful staff, nice rooms, and great food.

Great place to stay for travelling into Manchester, only 20mins away, food was good and friendly staff at amazing price

Room was a bit cold and the noise from a damaged manhole cover rattled all night with the movement of traffic on the busy road outside. However it didn't spoil our stay all the staff in the hotel the bar & restaurant are fantastically friendly and helpful

Great pub. Located next to the canal that you can walk down and clear your head

Great local pub with carvery. Welcoming staff, and fantastic food! Been coming here for years , never disappoints : )

More than happy with our stay. Rooms were spotlessly clean, great selection of drinks and the breakfast buffet had a really good selection.

Always a good pint at the boat +1

Really disappointed been going there for years A table had been booked for 2pm by my niece for my birthday I arrived and decided to have a drink with my sister while my family arrived I ordered a pint of carling and was asked for 5.50 before I had finished ordering I said I had never been asked for the money before I got the drinks Once my family arrived we went for the carvery because it was my birthday The beef was bloody and people were complaining The gammon was just the ends The turkey would be another 20 minutes we were informed Surely beef gammon and turkey should be available especially when you book a table in advance The place was half empty it used to be full on a Sunday After the rudeness of the bar staff and the state of the beef turkey and gammon we will not be returning

Our 3 day stay was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful in both the hotel and the pub, Food was great and breakfast was served till 11am, great news for somebody who doesn't like early starts!! Although it was very close to some big roads there was no trafffic noise , and we kept our window open overnight. Would defintely recommend

Fantastic food and fantastic service

Great experience used to be my local

Was going to a big shop nearby, but arrived before it was open I checked this place on the off chance, and wow!!! The food is amazing! Staff polite, want to help etc, minimal expectations/maximum expectations doesn't matter this place smashes all expectations. More visits will show if this is a one off, but will defo be more visits!!!

Went here on a week day with my husband for lunch. Plenty of free parking. I had the messy chips, which were chunky chips with pulled pork and a BBQ sauce. My husband got the fish, chips and peas. Very dissapointed with both meals. Pulled pork and BBQ sauce was OK, but the chips were really hard, like they hadn't been cooked long enough. The fish on top of the chips was the smallest piece of fish I've ever seen. About 4inches long and 3 inches wide!! A friend had recommended the carvery, which was why we went. Unfortunately our choice of the menu did not match our expectations....

Stayed here twice now. Rooms clean and comfortable. Breakfast is self served, Great choice, and very nice. We had the carvery which was lovely, again cooked nicely. Staff friendly. Would recommend if going to Manchester

I stayed for 3 nights as i was undergoing some training in the Area. The staff were very helpful and happy, although the front desk was not manned constantly as the staff also work in the restaurant there was a number on the desk and as soon as you spoke to someone under a minute wait 👍. My room was of a very high standard and was comfortable, my only gripe was when booking the room choice is 2 single beds or 1 double. The double bed option which i chose was in fact just 2 single beds pushed together with a double duvet and mattress cover, annoyingly this left a very solid part in the middle of the bed which was uncomfortable when you bare weight over it when moving around in the night, this may not bother most people but as i have a back condition a comfortable bed is paramount. The bed was very comfy and the bedding was of high quality. The optional extra breakfast was extremely good value, it was your typical cooked full English with continental option, not greasy and the taste exceeded the pricing. Wifi coverage was great along with the ample free parking. Most important when staying at a hotel, as im a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner there is not much that i miss 🤣🤣. The bedding was prestine even to the point no stains showed up under a UV light, again the bathroom was immaculate, very quick hot water and a bath which is always a bonus. The room was cleaned every day i was there to an extremely high standard and even the carpets in the room and the hotel were clean. If I'm ever back in this area for business or pleasure i will be rebooking a stay, the picture i have added is to show that the 2 beds were pushed together and i had moved the bedding, this bed was made up for me every day. Many thanks Boat & Horses for your hospitality

Great food as always Chelsea was amazing and helpful

Went out for a meal and took my daughter. We had a lovely meal and had excellent customer service from out waitress Lisa Brown, very polite and friendly, will be coming back again :)

We had an excellent stay, I highly recommend this hotel, very clean, staff friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was plentiful. We will be back. Thank you

A cozy pub by the motorway and Costco, with a lazy river flowing by. Always had great service and has a vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommend

I have been going to this place for some time, and this review is from the last time I went, and it only reflects the food side my wife and I went on 10th jan mid day my wife had the stake and ale pie whilst I had the go large carvery unfortunatley i think that the vegetables were either reheat or were never cooked right in the first place the Brussels sprouts and carrots and peas were uneadable rubbery like the joke eggs that you get but don't let this put you off its still a nice place to go they must of been having a bad day that day

Been here for Xmas dinner for the last 3 years. Food and staff are always great and it’s a lovely venue. This year, Danielle went above and beyond to accommodate one of my guests with special dietary needs - thank you so much, and see you again next year.

Great hotel, friendly helpful staff, amazing food

Popped in for a late lunch after dropping our son off at uni. Can't comment on the rooms, as we did not stay. However the food and beer were excellent.

We had a family meal for 6 people on Sunday the 15th December. The restaurant was very nice with Christmas decorations and pleasant Christmas music playing. We were welcomed upon our arrival and taken to our table. We ordered drinks and all decided to have the Carvery. The restaurant wasn't full but just about right, there were no queues at the Carvery counter. The food looked excellent, and we all got served quickly. I must say on behalf of everyone on our table how good the food was, it was perfectly cooked, the meat was tender and juicy. The service at our table was incredible, our glasses were never empty. Now we would all like to say a really big thank you to Nikki the restaurant manager, You really made our visit one to remember. A massive thank you from everyone in our party. Please give the Boat and Horses a try, the food is absolutely scrumptious. Just one issue, there was a very loud drunk lady singing and swearing loudly. It didn't bother us but there were children in the restaurant and nothing was done about it. Other than that tiny issue that the restaurant had no blaim for, we all had a fantastic meal, we will be definitely continue going back soon.🙂

Huge thanks to the Manager Nicki as we were welcomed back for a complimentary meal following some issues previously. All factors was rectified. Food was 10/10 excellent service. We usually go here twice a year as. Family get together and will continue to do so after this last experience. Thankyou

Great value for money and excellent breakfast included. Staff are busy, but always helpful and polite. Food was lovely. Definitely recommend.

Large bar,plenty of indoor & outdoor seating ,good choice of food plus carvery.

The bar staff, catering staff where all superb. My wife & i are both disabled and every need was looked after. The staff including Danielle ( Great Lady) really cared for us. When you are disabled all the help we received @ B & H is so gratefully appreciated. Boat & Horses is a top pub with superb staff. I highly recommend stopping here.

This room was excellent value for money. Whilst the sofa bed wasn't the most comfy I think you'd be hard pushed to find something better value for money for a family of 4. Perfect for a short stay. The room was clean, the staff were helpful and it was a perfect location for us to visit our family.

Good value tasty meal for vegetarian and not vegetarian! Thanks to staff

Good value, modern, clean, happy to recommend.

The food was good atmosphere was good

Excellent facilities. Great location. Spotlessly clean. Great food.

Overpriced for standard food and drink

Had our works Christmas meal here on Sunday 15th December. Food and service was excellent. The evening was ruined by a loud mouthed woman who was shouting and swearing obviously had too much sherbet. The staff didn't do anything about it even though children were present

Biker support Manchester had our Xmas do here today and we had a really enjoyable day and would recommend the boat and horses, the staff and environment is amazing couldn't ask for more

I visited this for breakfast only. I haven't stayed here. The food is nice and lovely and hits the spot. The only downside I found is the traffic going to Costco next door at times can be a bit congested when getting in or out of the car park as they share the same entrance road. There was a lovely outside seating area which overlooks the canal Which is a pleasure in summer.

Food and service is good, but very little choice in Sugar free drinks

Booked a 2 night stay & from checking in to checking out it was a lovely 2 night break. Only downside was it's on a busy main road junction with a Costco behind it but we gave ourselves an extra 10 mins to get to an event. I also think the hotel should look into some EV charging for future proofing, not a deal breaker as there were a few chargers less than a half mile away. Food in the restaurant next to hotel was good hearty keep you going for the day food & not overly priced. Will definitely be looking to stay here again if we visit Manchester again ..

Not the newest hotel anymore, but neat. Nice bar available.

Good food, reasonably priced, dropped in after an accident turned the M60 into a car park. Although, the drains need sorting, both the toilets and sinks drained water really slowly.

Lovely pub, very busy when we visited, but that didn't stop the service, you order food yourself at the bar and give a table number then after about 15 mins food arrives, well presented and hot. There seemed to be quite a good number of staff around working hard to keep things flowing. No issues from me at all.

Very nice friendly hotel with nice room . I forget my teddy bear 🧸 in the room 😢 and phoned up the hotel afterwards and very friendly man spoke to me and found my bear and will keep til I go to pick it up . All these little things count 🤗

Great stay for a business overnight stay. An elevated premier inn. Much better and probably cheaper - I wouid highly recommend this venue

Good hotel and a real bonus being attached to the pub. ...... fully recommend the carvery. Can be busy getting in and out of the hotel carpark due to an exceedingly busy Costco next day.

Great pub with very friendly staff. Carvery was very well priced and came with loads a meat!

Great welcome,lovely spacious room,spotlessly clean.Handy for the airport. Breakfast was buffet style,but everything was hot and delicious. Choices were numerous.

The food was nice and good value. The room we stayed in was lovely - clean and functional. The shower was lovely.

Really friendly staff and perfect location 👍

Fab hotel, a short taxi ride away from the city centre. Large, clean rooms and friendly staff. The breakfast was a buffet style breakfast but one of the nicest I've had. We would stay here again. Thank you

Good value for money. On the outskirts of Manchester. Staff very friendly. Great night sleep. Tasty food.

Fantastic location. Spotlessly clean bith in rooms and pub. Great food and great staff.

Food was overcooked, and the staff did no care.

Service poor Stood waiting to be seated for a good 15 mins even tho it didnt seem very busy

Great food and fantastic service especially the boy on the carvery

Always professional and helpful

Booked last minute while visiting relative in nearby hospital. Excellent value. Large, clean room, decent food at good prices and GREAT staff. Felt very safe here as a female on her own. Will recommend.

We had such a good experience with this place. We had a family room and it was immaculate, really good value for the money. We went to the restaurant for dinner and had the carvery which was fantastic for under 13 quid. The staff are fantastic, we spoke to Pam who was serving food at the carvery, she was adorable and we also had the lovely Bethany who was serving us, what a character! She was a joy.

Went for carvery last night. Meat dry and tasteless. Potatoes. Parsnips and Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and the stuffing was so overcooked you could have broke your teeth. The same food was still there an hour and a half later. Also the server cut my yorkshire pudding in half as me and my partner was sharing one and he used his hands with no gloves. I did complain and got a refund for my carvery but overall a bad experience.

Impressive place for me at least ! Delicious food and nice quiet atmosphere inside.. !!!

Brilliant service and excellent staff

Lovely pub with delicious carvery. Went on Sunday at 6ish and there were only few people, the food was hot and tasty, not too expensive and the staff very kind. I would definitely recommend it

Met my now beautiful lady here over 18 years ago ( still happily in love) went for a pub lunch chilly steak baget couldn't fault it was worth every penny and very filling no skimping fresh hot and will definitely return 😋 close to motorway so great location ,j,w lees brewery

Great place to stay and very good value for money, rooms are comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend

Lovely little pub right nxt to the canal the room was spotless reception staff were lovely and polite but most of All I need to give a massive clap to a certain couple of staff Danielle with her calm head when things got slightly rowdy She was absolutely run off he feet but still had time for a very nice welcome. Secondly I cannot praise the young barman on shift at night what a absolute gent really helpful and so patient he’s a absolute angel his mamma should be very very proud x

We had just the buffet breakfast here before a long journey to Norfolk. Excellent breakfast for the price (£10.50) Really pleasant staff very clean .

Staff very friendly & welcoming , since getting new chef i think food is at a better standard and very nice too , i will defantily be going again , keep up with the hard work because it pays off in the long run .

Spent 5 nights at the hotel while visiting family. The rooms are spotless and beautifully decorated. The breakfast over in the pub was tasty and well presented. Would recommend

Great staff very helpful and friendly.comfy beds. Breakfast was superb

We visited for the first time for a family meal as a table of 4, and I am really not quite sure I would return. Firstly when we arrived we couldn't find out how to check in and find our table, after waiting a few mins at the check in desk that was behind a stack of chairs, no one acknowledged us so we wandered around and managed to find someone to find our booking and who sat us down. We had our menus and after almost 30 mins no one had come back to us, they had served other tables in that time. I went to ask how we order and was told someone would be with us soon and apologised as they didn't have enough staff on. A really lovely and friendly waitress came and took our drink order, then we waited for those to arrive and then our food order was taken, by this point we had been at the restaurant nearly 50 mins. All the meals off the menu were lovely, however, the carvery my Mum ordered wasn't, it was dry, hard and felt really old food wise, I can only assume as it was in the evening this was the reason. It also took my Mum a long time to be served at the carvery station as no one was there, and people were just meandering in and out of the doors didn't even acknowledge she was there. We decided to not have dessert or more drinks and settled up the bill, again a really lovely friend waitress came and took payment and happened to mention there was a big party on in the function room, so perhaps that was another reason that the service wasn't quite what I would consider even average.

Everyone was very helpful and freindly. Great place to stay. Had an amazing weekend here.

Been here before and have chosen to come back this time because The Boat and Horses offers a comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay.

Fabulous place for the money. All staff members were welcoming and very helpful

Only went to the Boat and Horses for a meal. The food was excellent and well served.My friend had a vegan meal and I had a gammon and both enjoyed our meals. Reasonably priced. Will definitely come again.

Nice location. Friendly staff. Great carvery.

Go a lot. Busy friendly place nice food, brill carvery and right next to canal

I’ve never felt discriminated against in this country until my experience at this place. Being assumed to be an illegal immigrant just because I’m not British was incredibly offensive and upsetting. I have no problem showing my ID when needed, but the way I was treated was unacceptable. I won’t be coming back.

Food was pleasant, there's plenty of room to sit outside on a sunny day that looks over the canal, and there's ample room on the inside, prices are average and it was extremely busy.

From check in to breakfast the staff were efficient and friendly The rooms although basic were clean and functional I would recommend this hotel

food & drink not the best for the price, better value around the area!!

Excellent food great service and big portions I will be going again and if your up near cockermouth call in you will not be disappointed

Went for a carvery with work colleagues .. really enjoyed it.. good warm welcome and service..👌🏽

For me the Coach and Horses is is a fantastic location, being on the side of Rochdale Canal. You can see all sorts of wonderful fantastic and magical wildlife. Whilst at the pub I ordered some nibbley bits to eat, was served by “Toni” , Toni was a brilliant first staff member to be served by, knowledgeable regards the food on offer and the nibbly bits on menu . Toni showed me which soft drinks are on sale. Sat outside with dog. The young staff members that brought the food looked smart and both very friendly just like Toni. Toni came over to see our dog, she brought over a bowl of fresh water for him, which I thought was a fantastic touch. The food was very nice and tasty, the only thing I would change is the roast potatoes should have a rub on them maybe paprika or some for of chilli. Will definitely be back. Oh and a final thing, spotted a Kingfisher on the canal.

Looks lovely place, some staff have no social or customer service skills unfortunately I ordered the beef flat bread…asked if it was crispy beef was told yes…it wasn’t it was just chopped beef chewy I couldn’t eat that went back ordered some crispy beef and was left waiting over half hour so left. I told them it doesn’t matter about the beef I’m leaving just said “ok” the chips were re fried and extremely terrible. Just all round bad service and bad food. Will not be returning!

Went family meal. Ordered chicken salad. Came with overcook chicken slab and loads of bacon piled ontop and loads of lettuce, hardly any potatoes. Checked menu and bacon wasnt even included!!?? I don’t even like bacon!! Very disappointed! And don’t tell me you have new chef as that’s what you replied to someone else two months ago!

Myself and daughter called into the bar for a drink and food before seeing Kings Of Leon. Lovely place, great food and our server Amanda was fab. It was a great place to start a great evening.

Lovely hour spent sat overlooking the canal in the sunshine. A bit of road noise but didn't spoil the relaxing atmosphere. Good service and food was good value.

Wonderful and beautiful place to be. Staff always happy and ready to assist. Food? Oh, delicious. I will definitely visit again.

Very nice place, staff very friendly and helpful, first time, will come back

What a lovely place to stay! The pub and hotel is situated on the river bank, the staff from the bar to the hotel were very helpful throughout and my wife and I stayed in the hotel adjoining the pub, the rooms were excellent very clean throughout and we had a lovely nights sleep, we even had the breakfast which again was very well presented. It’s a very relaxed place to eat, drink and relax.

We had Sunday lunch, really nice people and service, the carvery was a bit small and a fair few of the roast potatoes were black, not burnt, black inside. Unlikely to be back.

A great Pub with its own hotel. The Pub, was modern quiet, with a nice selections of ales. The hotel, was clean but basic, but everything we required. Would recommend!

Brilliant roast dinner so tasty better than tody carvery
