This visit was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time and this was made even more special by the hotel staff. Every member of staff offered excellent customer service- going the extra mile. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great two night stay. The grounds to the hotel are immaculate, the hotel itself is very nice indeed, the staff were great, always friendly, professional and happy to help. The food was great. My partner enjoy her SPA treatments, we both enjoyed relaxing my the pool afterwards. Shame the thermal suite is not open yet (still waiting for parts for a repair I believe) but that wasn't a big deal for us. What else? oh yes the room, a nice large accessible room with a wet room, set up for us as a twin. A lot of hotels have a problem with this but not these guys, everything was just like we asked for. Plenty of tables and chairs in the grounds to sit and enjoy a well earner beer after a hard day relaxing by the pool.
Amazing that you can "get away from it all" and yes still be only 5 minutes off the motorway, thats why I called it a hidden gem

Fabulous chilled out day with family and friends. Due to the pandemic and other stuff we waited almost 3 years for this! Had the spa day and afternoon tea, we were not disappointed. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious afternoon tea and Good facilities. We will definitely visit again

My wife booked an overnight stay at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.
On the 18th August 2012, we got married at this Hotel and spent our wedding night in room 58.
On explaining this to the Hotel staff when booking our recent stay, they very kindly upgraded our package, at no extra cost, so that we could stay in the same room as we did on our wedding night.
We attended dinner in the restaurant at 6pm and was greated by a lovely member of staff named Sara B, who tended to our every need and also took the time to genuinely interact with us.
The food within the restaurant was delicious.
All staff were very friendly and accommodating and I could not reccomend the Dunkenhalgh enough for people to stay and dine.
I cannot thank the Hotel and staff enough for help usrecreate past memories.

We spent four nights at Mercure Dunkenhalgh. From the outset, we were greeted by courteous professional staff who had a focus on ensuring we had an enjoyable stay and they certainly met our hopes and expectations. Thanks you so much Krishna, Duty Manager at our arrival who listened courteously and responded proactively to our request in a kind and generous way - he definitely sorts things at the first time of asking and made us feel very welcome. The hospitality we encountered at this outset was mirrored across all departments.
Thanks to Housekeeping who ensured our room and bathroom were clean and comfortable - thanks especially to Alison who was thoughtful in particular. There are generous supplies of lovely products in the bathrooms which, again is just a reflection of the hospitality that you are met with in this hotel. We were in a privilege room which had coffee machine and mini fridge and really nice seating with a table which was great for when we had room service.
The pool area was attractive, bright and clean with loungers for those that want to relax for a while. there is a coffee bar adjacent where you can enjoy afternoon tea during your spa afternoon.
Very special mention for the chefs and kitchen staff at this hotel. The food was so good and it was a prominent feature of stay at this hotel. Whether you ate at the restaurant or had room service, the food was always hot and beautifully cooked. We especially enjoyed the salmon and chicken supreme - and lovely desserts! The breakfasts were lovely also. The team in the dining room are helpful and warm and we appreciated their service too.
When one person goes out of their way to be helpful then thats always nice but when you get a consistent high and thoughtful standard of service across the board then you have to say thats a culture and not a one off. We never met the manager at this hotel but whoever you are, you certainly lead a great team!

Knowing that I would arrive late I called the hotel and asked if they could prepare a sandwich for me. I spoke with Krishna who suggested that if I could arrive for 9pm they could prepare a full meal for me. Upon arrival my table was prepared, the restaurant staff expected me and I was served a super two course meal. Special thanks to Krishna and Olivia who could not have been more attentive or courteous.

My partner and myself stayed at this hotel last night.
Upon reading the reviews (after booking ) which was probably a faux par in our side.
We where not expecting much from our stay to say to least.
We drove down from Merseyside around 4pm .
Upon driving into the grounds the hotel looked beautiful.
We parked up to signs as another trip adviser guest has mentioned regarding the parking charges. This was a little confusing as we had received an email the day before to say the parking was free.
I did feel a little disappointed, however the parking costs where not that expensive compared to other hotels parking fees and at least the car was on the hotel site and not in a multi storey around the corner which I have had to do before today.
We then went through the beautiful grounds to the hotel reception:
We where greeted and checked into to our room by a lovely lady who was extremely helpful.
She is explained everything about the pool, free towels, evening meal and how to book your slot and times for breakfast.
She gave us our room key and told us in great detail where our room was. She was extremely friendly and helpful.
We went to book in for our evening meal and then went to the room.
The room was lovely and bed extremely comfortable.
We had a little rest then changed for our meal.
We where greeted and told that our table was getting prepared and asked to take a seat in the bar and we would be called when it was ready. (We where a little early)
We ordered a lovely bottle of wine and waited on our table.
The bar and dining room was beautifully decorated and extremely clean.
Then called us to our table and took our order for dinner.
Both of our meals where amazing we had a starter and main each both of high standard and presented beautifully.
We both every much enjoyed our meals and nothing was too much trouble for all the waiting on staff.
We where too full to order a dessert however what I seen in the next table they too looked lovely.
We retired to bed after that and had a lovely nights sleep in a very large and comfortable bed.
Morning we awoke for breakfast
The view from out window overlooked a lovely field with cows grazing, maybe not to everyone’s cup of tea but I loved it.
Now the comment on another persons trip adviser is the tea and coffee facilities are a little sparse. I must agree!
I think we should have had slightly more coffee and definitely more milk but that is me being picky.
We then went down to breakfast at 8am ish.
We where again greeted by a lovely member of staff a foreign gentleman who was very friendly and jokey and made us both feel very welcome
He got us tea or coffee straight away and told us to help ourselves to breakfast and if we needed anything to just ask.
Breakfast was amazing and really good choice.
I think peoples comments about no marmalade is extremely petty, and maybe they should have just asked and maybe they would have had some.
I asked for extra coffee and a lovely young man came with another fresh pot and asked would I like him to leave the pot at the table for me when I said how nice the coffee was.
All the morning staff where very polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.
Check out was also a good experience and we had a little chat with the member of staff who had checked us in who also was lovely and friendly.
I can’t comment on the pool as we did not use the pool or spa. Also we had an email prior to arriving to say the sauna was not open.
This was a little disappointing however we where offered to change the date if we wanted which I think was the only thing they could do if there was an issue with it. These things happen and didn’t overly bother us.
Out stay was amazing and we both had the best of times
We would a million percent stay again and would recommend to anyone.
Please don’t let petty comments on here put you off.
I’m sure if you stay here you will have an amazing time.
To sum up :
Beautiful surroundings
Friendly staff
Comfortable rooms
Lovely decor
Excellent food
We will be back
Thankyou for an amazing time
