Merchants Manor

Gorgeous, spacious room, beautifully decorated and a wonderful aroma from the spa throughout the hotel

The staff were without exception friendly and attentive. Sunday roast beef was exceptional and breakfast was lovely. I really enjoyed my short stay

The staff were all superb. The public spaces were very good, and the pool was excellent. However the rooms need attention, and the lack of a proper evening meal was disappointing.

Lovely welcome. Nice to have a swim.

Nice hotel , good location

Just an awesome place to come and relax and enjoy the ambience and character whilst in a beautiful setting

We loved this hotel, it was wonderfully clean and beautifully decorated. A nice relaxing vide around the whole place. All the staff we met were polite and professional. A nice pool. No air con in room but that was expected so no problem. A couple things that could be improved.. no restaurant menu, just small plates so no option to eat in. Breakfast was good. There is no info card in room so wasn’t sure of meal times, pool times etc. checkout was done on a pc which lacks a personal goodbye touch but get it’s a modern thing. In the bathroom there is 1 hand wash so you transfer it from shower to sink and back again, no big deal but put a small soap in sink. About a 12 min walk to town or beach. Would happily stay here again next time

Only qualm is love the self check-in but received zero literature on the hotel amenities, how it all works etc. that was the only thing missing. An amazing hotel none the less!

We had a lovely stay and everything up to standard. The room was very spacious and clean and the staff is very well trained.

Very lovely staff. Made the stay for me

Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was spacious and clean. easy walk into town and beaches

Great hotel with great service

Was nice clean friendly staff very helpful would stay again

We loved our stay in the hotel. The proximity to two train stations and to all the restaurants on High Street made it an ideal location. The breakfast and evenings at the bar were really comfortable and generous, the staff was perfect. DIY check in and check out, though less than appealing, is the way most hotels are working these days.

Lovely roim, spacious, well appointed.

Excellent all round

Great place. Rooms really good size.
Staff amazing, food and drink lovelly.

Free parking outside the hotel (a bonus), greeted on entry and helped with check in.
Rooms were adequate with ensuite bathroom.
Breakfast was a little different: limited cereal option but different bread options for toast. A new one to me was the set menu for cooked breakfast- made to order. Also a choice of teas and coffee.
Swimming pool and steam room downstairs as well.
A quiet location, a short distance from the shopping areas on each side. 10-15 minute walk or drive it in less.
Another feature was book a taxi at the touch of a button.
Finally couldn't fault the staff for their excellent customer service.
I would recommend this hotel - mainly for couples and friends. Although I would stay here again myself.

Lovely stay , nice room great breakfast

Arrived at 2.15pm to no proper reception just a check in screen. Room not ready. Came back 30 mins later checked in. Went to room only to find hairs in the bath, hairs on the area where you made drinks, bits all over the floor including food crumbs. Lamp on side table dirty. Spoke to cleaner who said he would clean again. Shown to bar area where we spoke to the manager who wasnt really interested in our complaint and was more bothered about asking if we would be using the spa etc. Also was adamant that checkin was 3pm and not 2pm as stated on hotels.com booking. The manager appeared five minutes later to say it had now been cleaned to which i replied wow theyve cleaned all that in five minutes. She then said in a patronising manner that she would get them to clean it again just to make sure its done. We returned later to find the hairs still in the bath, crumbs on the floor and even worse a blood stain on the outside of the bathroom door. Absolutely disgusting. Spoke to a member of staff on the bar who said the manager had stepped off site. The staff member called the manager by phone and we were told we could have a full refund as they had no spare rooms. We left and found another hotel and are waiting for our refund.
