Only stayed for a night but was nicely impressed by the look of our room, unfortunately (? :) ) we got a twin room instead of double but it was never guaranteed that we would get a double. With all the little touches it is a great place to stay and its also in a walking distance to the shopping areas and other nice places you might want to visit. :)

we travelled over 300 miles as a relative has become seriously ill and Preston was half way. We have stayed here before and enjoyed the experience.
All we wanted was a friendly smile and something to eat. The room is lovely as before.
It took ages for reception to make contact she was on the phone but she had someone else in the office with her I heard them in conversation.
We went to the bar for a meal the menu was not appealing last time we had a tapas selection.
I chose garlic mushrooms and baby tomatoes on ciabatta,. It was swimming in oil and cold and the bread was not toasted I must have had all of 2 button mushrooms thinly sliced.
My husband had haddock and salmon fish cakes mostly tasting of haddock they looked vey pre packaged. He also ordered a side of chips these were rock hard and uncooked. He returned them and asked for a refund which he received. All in all a disaster and tomorrow we have another 300 plus miles to travel. Very sad as we so enjoyed our experience last time with friendly staff in the bar and lovely food.

I've been visiting the georgian house Hotel for many years now either a short stay or lunch time dining but recently decided to become a member at the gym. I've been a member at the gym for almost 4 months now, I have worked my way up to 2 personal training sessions a week with Simon who has helped me loose an incredible amount of weight and step out my comfort zone! All the leisure team staff are really friendly and helpful. The leisure facilities are cleaned very regular. Overall my best experience has been with the leisure team at the mercure georgian house.

We are members of the leisure club and use the pool and hot tub several times a week. Staff always very friendly and chatty. Changing rooms and pool area very clean and tidy and upgrades have been made.

I organised my daughter's wedding at the Georgian House. What a terrific job everyone made!
Our 130 guests were came from 5 continents and spoke several languages - nothing to the superb planning team led by Bronwen.
On arrival everyone was greeted with a smile and help Irene in the bar and kept all happy throughout the weekend.
On Friday evening many of us enjoyed a super pre-wedding dinner in the restaurant, served well by the young staff.
The canapes served at the drinks reception were excellent and again the young staff came up to scratch ensuring all were amply supplied.
The wedding breakfast was beautifully prepared by Executive Chef Eddie, served hot , on hot plates in a timely efficient way led by Louis and Ndine the event managers.
We then transferred to the second function suite for the evening entertainment.
Again all was first class, the DJ played a cross-section of genres of music, the evening buffet was delivered with same efficiency and the quality was again superb.
The whole team obviously have a great leader in Eric the manager who instils confidence and quality in them.
It is a shame to finish on a negative but the Mercure Group Management should feel ashamed that they do not back-up such a great team by financing a long overdue refurbishment.
The public toilets, while immaculately clean are from the 60's, and frankly a disgrace! The restaurant badly needs updating, as do several bedrooms and public areas!
I remember the Georgian House in the 70's when the Hotel easily complied with a 4 star rating and the restaurant was one of the best in the area and to book a table at weekends was nigh on impossible!
I feel sure that the staff of today could re-establish that reputation with support from the Mercure hierarchy!
Finally thank you to all the staff at the Georgian House and apologise to anyone I have omitted to mention by name you were all fantastic!

The hotel offers good gym facilities, classes, pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The staff are welcoming especially Simon who is happy to go the extra mile. The classes are well organised with the staff being professional.

Whilst staying at the hotel I ended up at a loose end due to some of my appointments being cancelled. I was there for quite a few days and the weather being as it , it was great to be able to use the gym. I came across Dave, Kelly and Simon over these few days. All were very knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. They really are a credit to this hotel.

Have been a member here since inception - pleasant, extremely helpful and friendly staff, especially Simon & team. Excellent classes with broad choice; it's feel-good atmosphere makes exercising a pleasure not a chore or just chilling out to de-stress by the pool/steam room/sauna. No parking problems, easily accessible, friendly coffee lounge area. Highly recommended, not to be missed.
