Good short break

John C, Leicestershire, stayed: January 2024

Ignoring the weather (2 storms and visited in Jan.) we had a voucher for our 50th wedding anniversary
Great location, friendly staff, room OK if a bit small. Restaurant and food fine.

Poor service all round

Anon, stayed: August 2023

We checked in early, the room was very small and an upgrade was not available even though the hotel was far from full. The restaurant meals were mediocre for the four stars it was meant to be. The main courses were badly cooked and presented. The breakfast was adequate but over cooked.



Merewood Country House says...

I am sorry to read your comments for your stay with us here at the Merewood.

None of the rooms in our hotel are 'small' but I am sorry the room didn't meet your expectations.

I must strongly contest your comments about the food being 'badly cooked'. Clearly this is a subjective comment. We have received plenty of awards for our food and currently have 2 AA rosettes for culinary excellent. I am sorry that it might not be to your liking however.

Here at the Merewood we feel as though we are welcoming guests into our own home and on the occasion that we get something wrong, it is always a shame to hear and we must learn where possible. On some occasions sadly it seems that there is little that we could have done to change your mind.

Easter overnight stay

Myself, husband and little boy had a wonderful overnight stay at merewood last week, the evening meal was amazing and it s in a fab spot for walking down to brockhole. We will definitely be back thank you for making our stay so relaxing. Everything has improved 100% since our last stay A couple of years ago.

A Great Getaway

Michaila, Tyne And Wear, stayed: April 2023

This is the second time i have been to this beautiful hotel and I was not disappointed. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location and setting. The Afternoon Tea is a must. The restaurant is excellent. I will definitely be returning again.

Open fires and a warm welcome.

CH, Staffordshire, stayed: March 2023

Merewood Country House is an imposing building that impresses as soon as you enter the drive. The rain made the greyness of the brick sit well in the gardens, which even in March were immaculate. The open fire was welcoming as was the member of staff. Bags were carried to our room, which was small but had everything we needed. The evening meal was made more pleasant by the friendly and attentive staff. The Library, comfortable and again with an open fire, was quiet and made watching the rain even more interesting.
Visitors need to be made aware that this is a very popular wedding venue; for the most obvious reasons. A small niggle: why are the lamps next to the bed not suitable for reading? Much too low.
