Yes it was fresh, and lovely breakfast and the meal in the evening was delicious. Comfortable room and was treated in the room when getting there with treats in the room. And the check in staff were kind and very helpful. Couldn’t do enough to help. The room was lovely and clean and presentable.

Lovely friendly staff from Steve on reception and Tim in the restaurant they couldn’t do enough to make our stay more enjoyable

Loved it

Staff were brilliant !!!!!!

Clean and friendly staff

What stood out for us was the support we had. My daughter's baby was born very premature in the local hospital. I spoke to the hotel and they were willing to give us a good price on a room as we didn't know how long we would need it for. They gave us a family room with an extra bed. They put a fridge in the room for expressed milk to be kept until it could be taken to the hospital. The hotel location was perfect as it's walking distance. The staff were extremely helpful and supportive. Mina, Brooke, Emma, Andrea are just some of the names. Thank you for taking some of the stress away from a very worrying and stressful time. We are truly grateful.

Friendly staff Clean room

They charged us for 10 pounds per day parking fees, which was never on the hotel booking details

Reception staff at check was very helpful and amenable. Breakfast staff were courteous and helpful.

Boxing Day check in, many dogs barking in rooms on way to our room. Inside room dirty marks in pillow. Dog barking continued next door and across hall, room at end of corridor with an open fire escape door banging away. Within 15 minutes realised it would be constant noise, the dog owners and smokers were in and out alot in short period of time! Asked reception to move due to noise and was told it’s a dog friendly hotel - I asked is there a floor or part of hotel dog free for guests - he laughed. I mentioned filthy pillow he didn’t respond. Moved rooms - key cards didn’t work, at reception for 3rd time in 30 minutes with group of guests also unable to use keycards. The night was very noisy inside and outside with incessant barking from car park and outdoor space. Room was not heated. Breakfast not great. Guests at breakfast complaining about damp and black mould in room, another complaining about still not getting into their room for the second day running due to faulty key cards. Definitely not welcoming, not comfortable, not up to scratch.

Room was neat

First room stunk of stale cigarettes, probably due to the window being left open prior to check in and smokers outside. Easily changed rooms however. Dated property and decor. Good nights sleep, however running a bath early in the morning made a horrible sound from the boiler. Overall average stay, but at reasonable price.

I was very happy with this hotel, everything was clean and tidy, the staff were polite and very help, the breakfast food was plenty and well presented, checkin was also easy and quick, the rooms were well laid out and clean, very happy

The toilet was not flushing and the sink was clogged. The general condition of the toilet was old and dated and can do with refurbishing. The toilet roll holder was loose and the roll kept falling off the holder. The towel radiator was protruding an had a couple of burns. The headboard above the sink was low and not suitable to tell people as my partner banged his head a few times trying to brush his teeth at the sink. Generally poor experience and may not come back.

Good all round

The hotel is very dated, the room facilities very poor and the cleaning was not great

Comfortable room, delicious breakfast and plenty of peace and quiet. Thank you Mercure

We were allocated a room on the ground floor near to the hotel function room. They had their first Christmas party on last night. They really should have allocated the rooms nearest the function room to the people attending the party. Breakfast felt low quality, hard croissants, cooked breakfast looked dry and unappealing.

Fantastic service from all staff

The room was very nice and food was hot for a buffet breakfast, but personally I prefer a freshly cooked breakfast.
