Willington Hall

Food and service passable, but location, views and room excellent. Surrounded by garden and fields, feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, but withing 40 minutes driving of bolton and is a much nicer place to be than there too!

We arrived to find that there was no one to greet us at reception, and had to wait for attention.
On arriving at our room, we found it to be cold. I went to fill the kettle for tea, and as the kettle was rather large for the sink tap, I placed it under the bath tap, turned it on, and, received a shower, my hair was soaked. The shower/ bath system was faulty, and water could only be drawn from the shower head. We did advise reception, but nothing was done. The bathroom door was very difficult to open and it had to be opened from the bedroom.
After a very good dinner, we returned to our room, but unfortunately it became very hot through the night and uncomfortable.
Breakfast was excellent, sadly there was a lack of cutlery on the buffet table.
Over breakfast we heard that other guests had trouble with the plumbing. It does need to be sorted out.
The hotel could be improved with a little more care and attention to detail, Front of house does sadly let the chef and his team down.
My complaint about the plumbing was

First class customer relations. Staff friendly and helpful. The rooms were large and comfortably furnished. The Hall itself is impressive and the gardens and surrounding countryside very picturesque. Excellent food for dinner and breakfast. Will definitely return
