I have just come back from a solo weekend here to get away as a burnt out mum.
The room I booked wasn't available so I was told beforehand I'd been upgraded to a suite. I wanted to be able to relax in my room when I wasn't using the facilities but the room had absolutely nothing about it and was incredibly dated. Marks on the walls and curtain. Dark in the midst of a sunny day. Really depressing. Definitely not 4 star. It was clean though so that's the main thing.
The hotel itself I thought was lovely with a rustic feel it was just the rooms that seem to let it down going off other reviews on here.
I ate on the hotel site both nights with dinner at the clocktower grill then the drop inn the next night. Lovely food but so expensive. Breakfast wasn't great, the continental was lovely but the service so slow. I had to go up and ask someone to take my breakfast order 25 mins after I sat down and someone else was also doing the exact same thing after waiting, all while one staff member looked at me a few times and could clearly see I had not been served yet.
I had access to the spa facilities both days and treated myself with treatments. The spa and the team are absolutely incredible. The treatments I had were amazing and both days I came away glowing. Special mention to Evie who did my mud bath. She was so professional whilst also friendly, welcoming and really put me at ease. I wish I could remember the name of the lady who did my facial the day before to give her a mention too because she was just amazing and you can tell they love what they do..
A couple of the saunas in the thermal suite were out of use but I loved the jacuzzi and also went in the sauna and steam room.
All in all I had a fab stay but I would come for the day next time I think as the rooms are expensive for what they are they need to do a revamp.

The spa facilities and the village was great
The bed was the most uncomfortable hotel bed I have ever slept on in my life and we have stayed in a lot.
The room was dated and smaller than expected.

Great Service at Mercure Dunkenhalgh
I’ve been staying at the Mercure Dunkenhalgh in Clayton-le-Moors regularly over the past two years and have always had a very good experience.
I’d especially like to mention Arica at reception, who has always been friendly, helpful and professional. She has made me feel very welcome during my stays and has always provided excellent customer service.
Arica also helped make my birthday stay extra special, which I really appreciated. It’s always nice to be greeted by someone who is friendly and takes the time to make sure everything is going well.
Overall, I’ve always enjoyed my stays at the hotel, and the excellent service from the reception team is a big part of that.
Thank you, Arica, for all your help and for always making me feel welcome. You’re a real credit to the hotel

Not normally one for reviews but first time visiting here yesterday and I’ll definitely be back, my kids really enjoyed it and had alot of fun the beach area was a really lovely addition aswell and there was lots to do throughout the zoo. Que went quick which was great.
I would like to add, the shop as you leave the dinosaur area, there was a security guy there, I didn’t mange to get his name but it was a big ginger man, well he is an absolute credit to your team one of my sons has autism and was asking him lots of questions he took the time to answer all 100 questions 🤣 was polite and very friendly and it allowed me to have a quick look around the shop without him getting worked up , he was also opening the door for people with buggy’s and wheel chairs also was picking up toys and putting back when kids were leaving on the floor around the shop.
he wasn’t wearing the same uniform as the rest of the zoo staff but if you could pass on a massive thank you, he made made me and my kids feel very welcome and safe.
