Uppermill is where I want to be close to so it would be good if it is a short taxi ride away. I haven't been there before and I will be taking my Aunt and Uncle who haven't been there either.

The Saddleworth Hotel is in Delph, which is basically the next village along :-)

I you want a hotel actually on the Moor, Google 'Hotels on Saddleworth Moor'. (the ON or IN is important)
There are a few hotels, some B&B's and holiday cottages.
If you then click on 'maps' the satellite view gives a good idea of what could be available.
Not very many on the North of the moor,

I was born and raised in Oldham, which isn't that far away, and Saddleworth is more of a village.


I would think the most you might find would be a pub with a couple of rooms.

I would like to look at hotels in or very near to Saddleworth in Yorkshire but when I put that into google it just comes up with hotels that are about 7 miles away and I would like one closer than that if possible. :-)
