We stayed here for one night, half board. The location is fantastic, with amazing views and a short walk to the lakeside. We enjoyed both meals very much, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The bars and restaurants were nicely furnished and clean, and our room was a good size. We had a lovely weekend break and would definitely stay here again.

Lovely country house, beautifully decorated. Our room had views to the lake. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful, breakfast staff not so much. Didn’t have dinner at the restaurant, but breakfast was nice and the hot food cooked to order. Just to note there’s no fridge in the rooms, I guess most guests either eat all meals onsite or head out.

Liked: Staff & service
The ambiance and area where the hotel is situated was quiet and tranquil, which helped towards a comfortable stay. Helpful and friendly staff on hand. However the stairs up to the room can be a little narrow and the room itself was too small. A standard room in a budget hotel like Travelodge or Premier Inn feels much bigger and spacious than our room. Overall, I would consider staying again – but ideally in a larger room.

We had an amazing weekend at Merewood County House.It was in a great location. Our room was huge with a great view of the lake. Everything was spotlessly clean and well set out. We had evening meals and breakfasts at the hotel and the food was excellent. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly and we couldn’t fault anything. Thank you
