Reasonably priced hotel with all the basics and friendly service. One girl changing the rooms when we were leaving saw me struggling with my luggage and hurried to carry it to the main door for me which I really appreciated. The room was clean and adequate but our stay was somewhat spoiled when we discovered that the shower was stuck on extremely hot..too hot to use temperature so we had to content ourselves with washing at the wash basin which we didn't appreciate.
We had two rooms booked. 1 room was with elederly parents! The room given was a fair walk and was quite far from the reception area with no assistance only verbal directions. It would've been nice to have had some assistance from staff.
When we got to the room the sink plughole was blocked so I rang reception to get it fixed, didn't happen! Questioned reception duty staff and he lied and he said he had it fixed by maintenance when no one even came to look at it! This isn't the service we expected from ‘Mercure’ standard.
Leaning over the bath to brush our teeth and everytime we needed to wash our hands after using the toilet we had to use the bathtub.
Not sure I read anywhere but to use the swimming facilities the adults have to pay £10 fee. Other than that the hotel is near local shops/motorway as well.
The hotel and entrance are great, no complaints there. I’ve been a regular at another hotel within 5 miles of here, where the facilities are immaculate and the rooms are always meticulously clean. So I had high expectations.
On walking into my room (250), it was freezing. I immediately turned on the electric radiator, but was woken up at 2am by the thermostat flicking on and off repeatedly. The digital screen kept lighting up and going off it felt like there was a rave in my room. Highly annoying and not conducive to a good night’s sleep.
Before bed, I went for a shower and splashed foamy suds around as you do. After finishing, I was washing down the inside of the shower cubicle and noticed what I thought were leftover soap suds near the door handle. I went to wipe them off and I can tell you now, they were not soap suds.
Absolutely disgusting. The previous occupant clearly lacked basic hygiene, and although it shouldn’t be expected, the cleaners really need to have a keener eye for detail. This sort of thing should never be missed.
Photos attached for reference.
We checked in slightly early, reception staff were very kind, friendly and knowledgeable.
We had Lodge 248, the location was perfect , right beside the water and close enough to the Watersport centre .
The lodge was immaculate , the beds were huge and comfortable , the showers were super powerful, the terrace was good to sit outside and watch all the action on the Lake.
We only stayed for one night as we were travelling home , however we will definitely return again for a few nights to relax and chill out.
We were a family of 5, non complaints at all.
Stayed one night for business. The room was an adapted room so plenty of space.
The bed and pillows however I found to be very uncomfortable, one of the worst nights sleep I’ve had in a long time
Reception/bar staff are very helpful, cleanliness is on point all throughout the hotel
The staff in the hotel are the best I’ve ever come across . I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels in the uk and the staff aren’t very better than any other I’ve been in . Please open one in Sheffield then we can ditch leonardos. Nice touch with the duck and pack of biscuits
MMatthew CharlesVery clean room. Amenities were excellent and staff helpful. Despite emails suggesting I needed an app for the key to the property I was provided with a key card, which I preferred. Excellent value.

ゲゲストFirst time using Holiday Inn
Good things are
Spacious room with great standard
Comfortable and clean bed & pillows , and towels ( a big and a small for one person each )
Has kettle and tea/ coffee with treats ( biscuits)
Has a hair dryer and an iron with an iron board inside the wardrobe.
It has a round table and a sofa chair on top of a worktop table and chair .
It has a small gym , a swimming pool and jacuzzi .
Can include breakfast and dinner ( has restaurant) and can order to the room ( room service)
I only brought bed and breakfast and breakfast is great choices and plenty. Even for gluten free options!
Bad things
Hotel lift has broken and put me on 3rd floor but I can request the staff to give me on the ground floor ( said last room / no other choice) twin room . It is better to write the request that in the event of lifts are not working to give ground floor or lower floor.
Kettle has no sieve ( may be broken before me. )
The sofa chair has a stain before me .
Overall very good service and great room and has good facilities.
PParnavsamOverall, it was an amazing experience, aside from a few minor issues.
**Positive:**
1. The location was good, although it was a short walk from town. However, there is a tram service that runs every 10 minutes, and the cost was £12 per day for three people, which provided unlimited travel for the whole day.
2. The breakfast was delicious and offered a wide variety of options to choose from.
3. The hotel environment was pleasant, featuring a nice reception and lobby area.
4. The room included a safe where you could store valuable items like your laptop and tablet for extra protection.
**Negatives:**
1. Our toilet bin was not emptied after cleaning, and they forgot to replace the extra tissue roll in the bathroom, which was inconvenient.
2. There were no slippers or facial tissues provided in the room.
3. The bar was very quiet, and we were so bored that we didn't visit again.

ゲゲストWe had a wonderful 4 nights at Thurnham Hall.
The person who checked us in on the Sunday was very pleasant and welcoming.
We walked the grounds and they were lovely and very well looked after.The Spa and pool were excellent.
Thank you for providing such a lovely hotel for us to stay at and spend time visiting with our Lancashire relatives.
