Once bearing the title of most productive cotton and textile town in the world, Oldham is often, undeservedly overlooked in favour of the big northern cities. However, with its slightly out-of-town location, our hotels in Oldham put you as close to the Peak District as you are to Manchester, so don’t be forced to choose between city and country. The area’s home to an impressive mix of people from  Professor Brian Cox to Sir Winston Churchill. Now, imagine life as one of the UK’s great minds. Feeling the pressure, eh? And…relax.Â
