Bolton Hotels for All Budgets & Things to Do

If you’ve never thought of Bolton for a weekend escape, now’s the time to put it on your radar. Situated in Greater Manchester (although Lancashire still claims it for its own), Bolton is often overlooked in favour of its flashier neighbours, but that’s part of its charm. It’s got a great mix of countryside, history, and good ol’ northern hospitality without the crowds. Whether you’re travelling on a shoestring or looking to splash out, Bolton has got a hotel to suit all pockets. And let’s not forget, Bolton’s escort scene is one of the best in the region, making your visit even more unforgettable.

Ready to know how to get there, what to do, and where to stay? Let’s dive in!

Getting to Bolton: No Hassle, Just Good Vibes

First things first—how do you get to Bolton? Don’t worry, it’s easy as pie. Whether you’re coming from Manchester, further up north, or down south, Bolton is well-connected.

By Train:

Bolton is just 20 minutes from Manchester Piccadilly, which makes it a breeze to get to. Direct trains run from Blackpool, Preston, and Leeds, so no matter where you're coming from, it’s a straightforward trip. And if you’re travelling from London, just hop on a train to Manchester and switch for Bolton - easy!

By Car:

Got your own wheels? Perfect! Bolton is right off the M61, which links you straight to the M60 and M6. Parking in the centre is a doddle, with plenty of spaces available in the town centre. Whether you're cruising in or out, you won’t have a headache finding a spot.

By Bus:

National Express coaches run to Bolton from cities all over the UK, and local buses connect you easily to Manchester, Wigan, and Bury. It’s one of those places where the public transport options just work.

Where to Stay in Bolton: Hotels for Every Budget

Now, let’s talk about the best places to stay in Bolton. Whether you’re here for a cheeky night (ahem!) or a long weekend, you’ll find a range of options, from budget stays to swanky spots. And if you’re lucky enough to book a Bolton escort through Secrets, we’ve got a few hotel suggestions where you won’t have to pay extra for a companion to visit. Just remember, at Secrets we always recommend that you book a double room and let reception know you're expecting a guest. 

Budget Hotels in Bolton

1. Travelodge Bolton Central River Street
A real bargain if you’re looking to keep your costs low. The rooms are comfy, clean, and right in the heart of Bolton. You can usually bag a room for under £50 a night, especially if you book in advance. Perfect for a quick stop or if you're not planning to spend too much time in the hotel room (aye aye).

2. Britannia Hotel Bolton
This one’s no-frills but does the job. Rooms start around £40 per night and there’s free parking. It's also quite convenient if you’re driving in. Do note, though, that after 9pm, getting in with a guest can be tricky, so be sure to book a double room and give the staff a heads-up.

3. Airbnb & Guesthouses
Bolton has a decent selection of Airbnbs, from stylish terraces to private annexes. If you prefer something more homely or are planning a longer stay, an Airbnb can be a great shout. Plus, there’s no hassle with bringing guests back to an Airbnb, so it’s a win-win.

Mid-Range Hotels in Bolton

1. Holiday Inn Bolton Centre
Smack bang in the middle of town, the Holiday Inn is an excellent all-rounder. Spacious rooms, a bar, a restaurant, and most importantly, reliable quality. Rooms typically range from £70 to £100 per night, making it a great choice for business travellers or anyone looking for a comfortable, no-stress stay. Plus, our Secrets companions are regular visitors here, so they know it well!

2. The Last Drop Village Hotel & Spa
A little more relaxed and tucked away on the outskirts of Bolton, this spa hotel is perfect if you’re after a peaceful retreat with a bit of character. The hotel is set in an old farm building and offers lovely gardens, a pool, and a spa. It’s ideal for those looking for a bit of pampering. Escorts love visiting here too, with easy access to all the major motorways nearby.

For a Touch of Luxury

If you fancy treating yourself to something special, Bolton’s luxury options won’t disappoint.

1. The Whitehall Hotel & Distillery (Darwen)
A 25-minute drive from Bolton, but this country house hotel is an absolute treat. With stunning gardens and its very own gin distillery, it’s perfect for a romantic getaway or a luxurious date night. If you're after something more intimate to spend the night with an exclusive escort in Bolton, this place will tick all the boxes.

2. Egerton House Hotel
This boutique gem is a stone’s throw from Bolton town centre and has bags of charm. From elegant rooms to tasty food and impeccable service, this is a great spot if you’re looking for something classy and quiet.

What to Do in Bolton

Once you’ve sorted your hotel, it’s time to get out there and explore. Whether you’re into nature, history, or shopping, Bolton’s got a fair bit to offer.

Explore the Outdoors

Rivington Pike and Jumbles Country Park are top picks for anyone who loves a bit of fresh air. Rivington Pike offers amazing views of Lancashire and Greater Manchester and is home to the quirky Japanese Gardens and Pigeon Tower. If you’re into nature walks or just want a scenic stroll, this is the spot for you.

Learn About Bolton’s History

Bolton’s got a fascinating past, and if you’re into local history, you won’t be disappointed. Head to Bolton Museum, Aquarium and Art Gallery (it’s free!) or check out Hall i’ th’ Wood Museum, a historic timber-framed house where Samuel Crompton invented the spinning mule, which revolutionised the textile industry.

Shop & Eat

Bolton Market is an absolute gem. With everything from fresh local produce to international food stalls and even a gin bar, it’s a foodie’s paradise. There’s also the Market Place Shopping Centre, which combines big brands with quirky independent stores. And when you’re ready for a bite, make sure you try some classic northern grub - think meat and potato pies from Carrs Pasties or a cheeky fish and chips from Olympus.

Day Trips from Bolton

If you've got a few days to spare, why not head out for a mini day trip? Manchester is just 25 minutes away and has everything from buzzing nightlife to top-notch shopping. Blackburn and Darwen offer peaceful countryside escapes, while Rivington Barn is a fantastic spot for family days out or bike meets.

Final Tips for Your Bolton Break

• Weather: It’s the North, so be prepared for a bit of rain. Always pack a brolly!
