What a great place to stay! It is close to quite a few transport links, especially by car. The hotel could do with a bit of refreshing but hotels often can. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and elevate this hotel. The sorted out breakfast for us quickly and efficiently when the booking hasn't gone through online, we got some free cocktails that were being trialled and the went into the back to look for a couple more whiskies for me. It's a big hotel but with the friendliness of a traditional guest house.

Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. The room is a little bit tired but certainly not the worst I’ve stayed in, and it was dog friendly so that’s always handy! The restaurant food was very nice too. Tim in particular was extremely helpful. Would stay again.

The dining experience at the hotel was exceptional, with every meal showcasing high-quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, and incredible flavor across a wide variety of dishes. From fresh seafood to perfectly cooked steaks and creative vegetarian options, the food consistently impressed. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the outstanding service provided by Tim. He was attentive, warm, and highly knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring each meal felt personal and memorable. Tim’s professionalism and genuine hospitality made a great stay even better, and he is a true credit to the hotel.

First time here. Had a problem with the plug in the sink. Was moved to a room that was the mirror image. A hotel with great atmosphere and friendly helpful staff in reception and Jo in the bar. Good parking and easy to find. Had a tasty meal in restaurant. A really nice place to stay👍

Wonderful check in with Steve complete with friendly chat as he used to work two miles from where we live. Great service by Tim at dinner who was only too happy to please. The room (103): was this a Privelidge Room? I’ve stayed in many a Mercure pre Covid and built my way to Diamond member status - but whilst having all the equipment specified in the booking, the room was somewhat more compact and less dressed than the usual Privilege room. The lack of sign on the door suggest this was perhaps a standard room. To counter this, the hotel had left a number of treats (wine miniatures and chocolates and a happy anniversary sign on the door) to mark our special occasion. This was very much appreciated. In places the hotel looks tired, especially in the corridors and on main doorways where the white paintwork needs a damn good clean. We were staying here as a combination of a local wedding and also a belated wedding anniversary and had specifically chosen the hotel for its extensive pool and spa facilities. Or so I thought Turns out that despite there being many online photographs and references to swimming pool and spa, especially on Google Maps, the hotel closed these facilities over two years ago. However, it has clearly failed to purge the Internet of these images and references. Even its own telephone system still gives the option to press 4 for leisure facilities. The thing that I find most annoying is that even though I discussed this at the point of checking in (this being the reason we chose this hotel in the first place), nobody really seemed to want to do anything about it either by way of goodwill gesture for us or action to prevent the problem re-occurring for other guests. Overall, somewhat disappointed but a pleasant stay.
