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.

Things will look a little different for a while as we are not able to open our bar or restaurant but you can be confident that the team will do everything possible to make you feel as welcome and comfortable as we always have.

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.

Book with confidence – fully flexible rates now available.

Flexible rates can be cancellable or transferred with no hidden charges.
