Was perfect with our two puppies. It was good to have yard but they do need a little love. Some yards had weeds knee high. The room was not up market but bed was very comfortable and we could relax with the dogs . Room was well suited for dogs good size . Was lovely to be able to take dogs to dinner in lounge area and outside in the bistro area.

The hotel was beautiful inside and out and our room had lots of space and well kept and the shower was nice too. The bed was good but wasn’t as comfortable as most of the beds are at previous Mercury Inns we have stayed in. We always try and stick with hotels we know that normally have softer beds as my hubby needs back and hip surgery so harder/firmer mattress are not good for him. The staff were lovely when we checked in and the meal from the restaurant was really yummy. If you are wanting to park your car in a more secured place they do offer parking at the back of the hotel with a remote open and closing gate. It however cost $28 a night but to us we didn’t mind paying so we knew our car was more secured

Biggest feedback and reason we won’t return is the fold out lounge is very uncomfortable only book if you have very small children or 1 child sleeping on it. Room is big enough to add a couple of single beds downstairs would sacrifice floor space for this.
Also appeared they used the second pillow on the main bed to make the fold out so bring extra ones.
Can walk to restaurants which was good upstairs bed comfy (except the pillow missing). Reception staff are lovely check in and out was quick.

The dining room was great with great food; I was very surprised by how good the food was.
Breakfast was also great. The property is old but very central and just what I needed for 1 night.
