Liked: Staff & service
The ambiance and area where the hotel is situated was quiet and tranquil, which helped towards a comfortable stay. Helpful and friendly staff on hand. However the stairs up to the room can be a little narrow and the room itself was too small. A standard room in a budget hotel like Travelodge or Premier Inn feels much bigger and spacious than our room. Overall, I would consider staying again – but ideally in a larger room.

We had an amazing weekend at Merewood County House.It was in a great location. Our room was huge with a great view of the lake. Everything was spotlessly clean and well set out. We had evening meals and breakfasts at the hotel and the food was excellent. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly and we couldn’t fault anything. Thank you

We had originally booked a double bed, but they were out of stock, so they changed us to two rooms free of charge. Very kind of them.And the hotel has a very retro décor and a great atmosphere. You can play chess with friends by the warm fireplace while enjoying a beer. It's very pleasant
