Nice hotel
Character hotel bordering miles of countryside. Comfortable large bed on top floor, with good breakfast. had already eaten on arrival so cannot comment on evening meal. Top floor room did have sloping ceiling, but no issue. Plenty of free parking and lovely quiet setting.

New years eve
Had a lovely stay for the new year. Staff were brilliant but this hotel is in need of some updating. We had a superior suite but the bathroom was in need of updating and the carpet in the bedroom had stains all over it. We probably wouldn’t stay again for these reasons. The New Year’s Eve party was excellent and the staff were great.

Nice but a little tired.
The hotel itself is nice with good staff. We had a lovely welcome at reception. Our room was tucked away from any noise but to be fair we didn't hear anything. The room was spacious but felt a little tired and the carpet had a couple of stains. We had a drink in the bar which whilst pleasant felt expensive at £18. I think as a hotel venue people look pass a lot of the issues but as a couple I'm not sure I'd return.

Disappointing weekend away
Food was expensive and not value for money. One restaurant with limited choice. Every morning, there was an issue with our breakfast - food cold, needed reheating, omelette was a disaster !
TV very limited , only ‘free view’ channels and the remote didn’t work properly.
Used shower once and the bathroom flooded, didn’t use shower again.
Not the relaxing weekend we had planned.

A good break
A very nice and comfortable hotel, with excellent and friendly staff. Food is very good too and the hotel is in a lovely location, only reservation is that there is no lift so guests should be aware that they should ask for a lower floor if they need it.

Apart from other guests keeping.us awake through the night we had a wonderful stay in Upton St Leonards Mercure hotel. All the people working there were extremley friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel is a lovely place to stay and the rooms are clean, warm and have everything needed.

Nice hotel surprise
The hotel was comfortable and in a quiet village. It had a nice and big garden, really great for weddings and other events. Even though there was a conference, the place had plenty of rooms and large dining areas.
Food was pretty good.
There was a small fitness center with the main machines for a quick exercise.
