The Last Drop Village Hotel

great. The wedding team were always contactable and would pass emails onto another planner if they were unavailable. We had some confusion over room bookings etc throughout the process but all turned out okay on the day. They were more than accommodating for dietary needs - they provided us with gluten free meals (bride and groom plus 2 others) and these included everything the regular meals did and also accommodated the children and vegetarians and vegans. Everyone commented on how fabulous the food was - it was piping hot for all and the portions were huge. At the food tasting session we had to check these were the portion sizes that would be served as they were huge! We attended a few of their monthly wedding open evenings and all the staff were friendly and informative. We were given a conference suite to get ready in as there were 8 of us plus hair, make up and photographer and this was plenty big enough. We were able to check in early too on the Friday before the wedding as they understood we had 6 dresses to hang in the room. The rooms could do with a bit of updating but they were clean and fine for the amount of time we were in them. The breakfast was good and the atmosphere in the hotel bar on the Friday evening was great. The hot buffet at the wedding went down a treat and everyone was commenting on how great the staff were. Nikki was overseeing our wedding that day and was then at breakfast the next day! Being able to use the spa was also great but not much to do after a couple of hours unless you book treatments in.

us in the right direction for decorations, flowers, photographers, DJs, etc., making sure we didn’t miss a thing. On the day itself, Jacqueline came to the room I was getting ready in with our daughter (our bridesmaid) and kept me calm after receiving a terrible phone call about a friend, helped me with my dress walking down to the Penny Farthing Suite where we were getting married, and I think got a little emotional through the ceremony too! The entire staff at the Last Drop were amazing - the staff in the restaurant when myself and my daughter were having a meal the night before, the lady in the restaurant at breakfast who we had a lovely chat with, the gentleman who we have seen plenty of times in the restaurant on our previous visits to the hotel who’s name, unfortunately, I can’t remember (sorry) who congratulated me in the corridor... and I’d also like to say a massive thank you to Nicola, who looked after us massively at the wedding breakfast and reception. She made sure everything ran like clockwork and treated us like part of the Last Drop family.
Thank you again for making it the best day ever!!!

is necessary to Jacqueline who couldn't have helped us feel more comfortable when planning our wedding details and ensuring everything ran smoothly during the morning of our wedding. As soon as we found out the wedding make up artist wasn't coming, Jacqueline started to call round to find us one last minute she is a credit to you. Nicola took over for our ceremony and wedding breakfast and we couldn't have asked for more, anything we needed be it guests directing from one place to another and helping ensure all our food came out swiftly nothing was too much for Nicola. Ryan then came in to see of the night time reception and he was extremely helpful, anything we needed came to us promptly and he even arranged for our gifts and belongings to be taken to our room he couldn't do enough for us. Also a massive shout out to the staff working the whole day, all the waiting staff and bar staff did a fantastic job and credit to the folks in the kitchen as they put on a fantastic afternoon tea.

I have uploaded some photos from our wedding (I hope Nicola and Ryan don't mind) we told them to make use of the photo booth and they made it extra special :)

Thank you for hosting our special day you helped make it so amazing.

Stu and Becky Seddon

be going back for our anniversary.

in the run-up to the wedding as well as on the day itself. We ate in the restaurant on the evening before the wedding and had breakfast on the two days during our stay, the food was great. The wedding breakfast food was excellent as was the organisation by the master of Ceremonies Franco who ensured the day ran smoothly and service of the wedding breakfast was very efficient.
We stayed in one of the suites which was very bright, comfortable, clean and well equipped.
I have visited the Last Drop Hotel on many occasions in my role as a Registrar in Bolton conducting marriage Ceremonies but this is the first time I have ever been there as a guest and it definitely won’t be the last as I’ve already made enquiries about holding my 60th birthday family lunch there in February next year.
In the midst of all of this and the rush of the run-up to Christmas, the staff at the hotel dealt brilliantly with a sudden influx of guests due to the many flights diverted to Manchester following the drone scare closing Gatwick airport. Breakfast was a little busier on the 21st but everyone was treated as valued guests - well done the Last Drop
