We’re Back! – Mercure Hotel Opening for Key Workers

Tuesday 9th June, 2020

You asked and we’ve listened

Following an increase in enquiries we’re pleased to say we will re-open on the 15th June, in line with government advice it will initially be for just key workers but we can’t wait to welcome everyone back just as soon as the advice is that it’s safe to do so.

Social distancing measures are in place and with our industry leading cleaning regime you can rest assured that the safety of you, and our fabulous team, is our number one priority.
