Shaw and Crompton

Travel Guide

Crompton Moor This walled track is on the lower slopes of the moor above Brushes Clough quarry. There are many tracks on this large area of open space on the edge of Shaw's urban area. It is a very popular amenity for off road cyclists, dog walkers and other lovers of the countryside.

Hotel charged my card with a “Service Charge” upon departure. Took £10 as a tip. I wasn’t warned or asked about this. They refunded when I asked, but why should I ask for my money back?

Room was excellent. A little dark, some of the lightbulbs could do with being brighter. Main problem was the neighbours. They had a “party” until the very early hours, smoked a lot of very smelly things and generally were selfish. Ruined the stay.
