West Country Adults Only Holidays

It's such a shame! The building of the old Mercure hotel holds ok. The double room was spacious, clean, comfortable and with an amazing close view of the Winchester cathedral (practically over its grounds). But there was no milk for the tea in the room and the television did not show a single BBC channel (not even radio stations), had no access to satelite, internet or cable. When I called reception to ask if perhaps there was something I was not doing properly with the remote control, I was asked if the TV was showing other channels. When I said that only commercial channels seemed to be available, I was told that this was what was on offer and that's it. In some way, I'm grateful for the experience because it opened my eyes to how miserable life would be without the BBC service. I'll certainly pay the BBC licence with gusto now!

We enjoyed a two night stay there recently. We had the room with an outing seating area which definitely made it more spacious and as the weather was reasonably good we sat outside quite a bit. The swimming pool was a brilliant experience and all in all we had a great time. Re the breakfast for the vegetarian option it would have been good to have a few more options eg vegan sausages or avocado please

Room was clean and tidy, you could not tell it was a dog friendly room. Staff were nice. Amazing location and view

We loved the spa and pool facilities.

Walkable to all the nearby sites and restaurants, cool bar/restaurant on site, clean and comfortable

We had a wonderful stay here with our son, both sets of grandparents, and our dog, and it was perfect for everyone. From the moment we arrived, the first impression was fantastic. The spa was lovely and a great place to relax, and the food was brilliant throughout our stay. Breakfast was delicious, although it did take a little while to arrive. The hotel is very family-friendly, with a lovely kids’ room and outdoor space that our little one really enjoyed. It’s also amazing for dogs, which made travelling with our pet so easy and enjoyable. We stayed in the 4-bedroom Grand Cottage, which was fantastic. Having private parking and easy access to all the facilities made everything very convenient. The staff were incredibly friendly and very accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it.

Right from check in to the entire stay, it was comfortable and hassle free. Location is perfect with beach just walking distance away from the resort. The property was clean with all devices and appliances in very good working condition. The living area of our suite was big and good enough for our little one to play. It was provided with basic food stuff and the fridge had juices,butter,cheese & milk so the immediate need was sorted. Domino and 4 in a row were also provided for kids to play - a thoughtful way of hospitality. We’d definitely book it again when we visit St Ives again. Definitely recommend it to families looking for a relaxing holiday with kids.

An excellent relaxing stay. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Amazing service, exceptionally friendly.

Great location. Nice, big rooms with large beds, very clean. All staff very friendly. Would stay again when next in Bristol.

Great stay, lovely peaceful location. Evening meal was fantastic!

Breakfast was everything you'd want and more. A great start to an active day with the kids at Wookey hole attraction or walking the country side.
