Beautiful hotel

Stayed 2 nights at The Mere whilst in Cheshire from the south for my cousins wedding and it was worth every penny. Predominately a golf hotel, the property also has a great atmosphere for non golfers. 4 star accommodation without being pretentious, it offers a relaxed atmosphere, excellent breakfast and dining options, (we used the clubhouse), well appointed, comfortable rooms and an extremely good spa with treatments at an added cost. The staff were very helpful and friendly throughout the hotel. We ate and slept well, all in all a very good stay

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel itself would be amazing with a refurbishment in the hotel and its facilities as the decor is tired. But I couldn’t fault the service, staff or food we had all was excellent. A comfortable bed is important and the bedding, pillows and mattress was extremely comfortable. Will definitely be returning.

Great. However, I feel it’s a bit of a cheek to charge paying guests an extra £15 to use pool and facilities!!

Would definitely stay again

It’s a lovely hotel, the staff were nice, the breakfast and spa were divine! It’s worth noting that the lake view is obstructed and they are golfing just outside your window. Also, the fine print does state (which I didn’t read) that there are additional charges to use the pool - so don’t be fooled into thinking it’s included.

Second time staying here and we will be back! We use it as we have family close by, its a beautiful setting, all amenities are well looked after to a very high standard, staff are superb, very friendly and polite, nothing is too much, rooms are a decent size, very comfortable and beds are great. Only drawback is not being able to get 2 double beds in one room, you can only book a room with 2 singles. Breakfast can be delivered to your room for £5 at a time of your choice, ours didn’t disappoint.

4/10 Fair

Beautiful surroundings. Disappointed with lication of room, under 1st floor, not sufficient light, noisy as under flight path. The bed was so soft there was a big dip in the middle. Given the high quality of this hotel in general I was really disappointed with the room. The staff were lovely.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, had a very relaxing stay. Almost perfect except for a few small details. Firstly, their pillows are dreadful, far to soft, needed four to get any support. Secondly 'courtyard view' is code for car park. Finally, check-out was slow, but these are purely niggles. The hotel was as close to perfect as any I've stayed in. The bath was fabulous, show powerful, bed large and comfy, room large, very clean and well maintained, decor stylish, location quiet and staff generally great. Would happily recommend. Just be aware, guests in standard rooms do not get spa access included with the room rate.

6/10 Good

Felt unwanted

Reception and check in was a nightmare - took about twenty minutes and there were only two people in front of me. Room was fantastic, probably the most comfortable room I have ever stayed in. Breakfast is what ruined it for me, nearly all the tables were empty when I arrived for breakfast and I was shown to a corner hidden out of the way where all I could see was a wall. It made me feel as though my appearance wasn’t the look required for the restaurant even though I was smartly dressed; I was actually quite upset.
