I am bored of staying in the Northern Quarter. I will have the car for the next few weeks and will be up here 2-3 nights a week.

Where is worth staying within a 30-40 minutes drive of  north Manchester?

Fairly simple needs. Food and beer within walking distance of a bed and wifi for £70 per night or less. I won't have a bike with me.

I don't want some remote B&B on the moors where I will just be stuck in one room and I don't want a bothy or 'community hostel'.

Suggestions please

30-40 mins? You mean the ring road 😉

The Village Hotel on the M66 Bury exit is pretty good and has a decent gym and indoor pool; the new rooms round the back are quite nice according to a colleague who stays there.

Prestwich probably has enough going on to keep you occupied. If you're heading to the northern quarter then you can get the tram too. I ride in from Prestwich to the northern quarter as fast as cars do it around rush hour, and I sometimes get overtaken by a guy on a Brompton so I'm not exactly fast...

Prestwich?

Church Inn* has rooms and there is a Premier Inn.

I'm sure that the MNPR locals could take you out for a beer.

* Did you stay there at HTN about a million years ago?

If you want to mix it up a bit try some other areas, do you need to get to the city? Plenty of hotels down media city side, quiet but some places to eat and have a beer. Nice place for a stroll on a warm evening like we have coming
