The Mere Golf Resort & Spa

We were allocated a room next to the lift and as we are both light sleepers I called reception to ask to be moved. This was so easy and well taken care of, someone came by the room with a new keycard for the quietest room they had, and directed us where to go. Great start. The room was clean, well decorated and had plenty of space. Lots of lighting options, big tv and excellent blakout curtains. The bathroom had two sinks and a heated floor - excellent touch! We briefly visited the spa which was very busy. There was plenty of chairs/loungers though which you don't always get at other places, but I wasn't keen on all the kids splashing around. Breakfast was good with lots of choice and I particularly liked the allergens labelling, very helpful. Cornflakes were gluten free which we've never seen at any other hotel and we've been to a few! Usually you'd have to ask which means making a bit of a scene and no one wants that at breakfast time. If we were ever in the area again and needed a bed for the night, we'd definitely come back to this place. Lovely grounds, interesting history.

If I had to give a negative it would be the staff member behaving awkwardly near reception who gave me a card with his name on and asked me to leave a review mentioning that he'd helped me - but he hadn't helped me at all and I didn't need anything! Also, I think all the meekats might be a tad too much. Otherwise, it was a good stay and I would recommend.
