Boat & Horses

This 'pub with rooms' is exceptional. The rooms are very good hotel standard with enough sockets to light up Blackpool. The pub does terrific breakfasts til 11 am and a lunch/dinner carvery daily, plus a good bar menu but it is the staff that make this oddly placed venue - between a Costco, a four lane bypass and a canal - an absolute joy. If there is such a thing as Northern Hospitality then someone bottled it and poured it over the Boat and Horses. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Rooms: Lovely size, nicely decorated and super comfy bed Food & drinks: Nice evening meal and breakfast.

Loved staying here. Rooms are fab and the service and food next door was fantastic. Thank you to Nikki and her team x

We are future out of town house buyers and have stayed here many times at the boat and horses. Sadly, it’s gone down hill over the last 18 months., On this occasion at 8:30am the poor quality of breakfast ingredients, the counter display of barely warm food (cold dried up scrambled egg and hard to cut into the sausage). Was and looked disgusting, certainly not appetising. The staff were helpful in offering to change any breakfast item we wanted. But we had to keep and attend an appointment. Rooms: Top floor rooms are very quiet at the back of property.

Loved it

We always stay at the Boat & Horses when in the area visiting family. Rooms are very clean & comfortable ( & I’m pretty fussy). Tea /coffee /biscuits in room. Lovely hot & cold buffet breakfast available (included in price if you book online direct). Always get a great nights sleep there. Good towels & toiletries. Staff in hotel & pub are very helpful & friendly. The Boat & Horses pub/restaurant has a good selection of meals ( including carvery) & choice of drinks, open till midnight on a Saturday. Some areas overlook the outdoor seating & canal. The rooms look like they do online, there’s a lift & door access security. Easy check in/out. There is plenty parking outside with disabled parking bays next to hotel entrance if needed. Good transport /road links into Manchester. Taxis bookable from reception. Bus stops nearby, nearest tram stop (South Chadderton) is about a 15-20 minute walk away. Rooms: Very clean & comfortable & warm rooms. Subtly decorated in muted colours. Good mattresses. Blackout curtains so I always get a good nights sleep. Tea/coffee/hot chocolate/biscuits available in room. Nice towels & toiletries. Hot showers. Well lit bathroom. Ambient lighting selection in room. There’s an iron/ironing board & hairdryer available. USB ports/sockets next to bedside on each side. Safety: Car park is camera’d. Door access has security to rooms /inner corridor. Lift available. Disabled parking bays outside hotel. Area is well lit generally. Walkability: Hotel is just off main road & close to bus stops. There’s a canal towpath outside at front. (Saw dog walkers while I stayed there). It is worth noting that hotel is next to a Costco so it can get busy driving in & out of car park during their opening hours.There are traffic lights /pedestrian crossings though so traffic is moving & you can cross safely. Food & drinks: Pub food including vegetarian options & kids meals. Daily carvery. Good selection of drinks available, or tea/coffees. Good selection of hot & cold buffet breakfast items, teas, coffees & juices. Breakfast price is included if you book online direct with Boat & Horses. Plenty seating including overlooking outdoor areas. Family friendly pub with level access. (There is a seperate bar area if you want a child free experience).
