My daughter married at the Merewood on 3rd December 2011. We had the whole hotel for all our guests it was magnificent.

This place is very impressive, the staff friendly and the rooms large and beautifully presented.

The hotel itself is beautiful and the food is superb. What made it so enjoyable for us, however, was the wonderful staff - everyone could not do enough to make our stay perfect. We visited over New Year and enjoyed all the entertainments on offer but it was the attention to detail in the warmth of the staff's welcome that... More

If I could sum up the Merewood in one word it would be 'superb'. We celebrated our wedding on Saturday 3rd December 2011 and had the hotel to ourselves for the weekend. From the word 'go' the staff were fantastic and a real credit to themselves. We felt more like family than guests, which made our family and friends feel... More
