The room was very comfortable and clean. The corridors could have been cleaner as there were bottles and other rubbish from guests rooms on the windowsills. In the evening my room was near the back of the hotel and there was a very loud noise which sounded like a washing machine or tumble dryer being on. Fortunately, this noise stopped at around 10pm and then started again in the morning.
Breakfast was nice although the staff started to clear away some of the options offered for the buffet before the end of service.
Food was good, staff were friendly, on the whole a comfortable stay. The pool area was also lovely and was made better by having access to the outside area.

The room was lovely,clean and comfortable.The provision of a fan was much needed and made the night bearable in the heat.
Breakfast was excellent,food freshly cooked and plentiful and the usual range of cereals, fruit and pastries.
Lunch was delicious, again food was tasty but we were a party of 12,a pre- booked celebration , and some of us had almost finished our main course by the time other main courses had arrived and one person had to send their food back to be reheated.
Service was a bit haphazard but the young staff serving us were friendly and trying to do their best.
Sandwiches are not served after 5.00pm so if you want something light in the evening you need to go elsewhere
We dined in the restaurant and had a Caesar salad and a pizza which were again very good and the staff pleasant and helpful.

Its a lovely old hotel mixed with added extentions in the same style that were done some years ago, and therein, for my stay, lay the problem in room 231. The bathroom/shower needed maintenence and a deep clean and scrub to bring it up to a standard you'd expect of Mecure. The room window curtains don't fit well so there was light coming in day and night from ground security lights, it also faces the A61 so traffic noise is a problem. If you are a light sleeper bring eye patches and earplugs. The refreshments hadnt been fully replenished meaning no morning coffee, and no takeaway cups.
On the plus side, room 231 is a big room with a clean comfy bed and soft pilows and a big modern tv.
All of the above reported on checkout which I'm sure management will address.

Stayed here with the family—great place, very quiet, and friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent, especially the full English breakfast.

On closer inspection, the windows were a bit dusty, and the carpet had some hair on it. I’m not sure if this was due to the hotel being pet-friendly.

The swimming pool timings were limited for kids (8–10 AM and 4–6 PM on weekdays), which was inconvenient. It would be better if these times were more flexible for families staying with children.

Overall, the stay was pleasant, and the staff were very friendly.

The room needs to be cleaned better, foot of dust behind the sofa and looked like previous guests bottle tops poked out from under it. We were checked in by what can only be described as a rude person he didn't look at me once and for someone who is deaf and lipreads it's pretty annoying. I know i dont carry a flashing sign but your supposed to talk to your guest. Julie however in the breakfast room was wonderful works so hard and was so pleasant an greeted us with a smile got us a table ready. The gentleman from the front desk was dragging his feet nothing was a rush an was busy bad mouthing staff to guests behind us.

Property is welcoming to pets, but compared to some mecure hotels could do more for tge extra payment! A dog blanket would protect the furnishings, a couple if dog bowls in the room, would be nice!
We stayed for 3 nights so the room would only be extensivley once when we leave! So paying £42. Extra seemed a bit much!
We took our own! Sheffield Mecure have it sorted! Even dog wipes ect as you walk into hotel. Staff are fantastic with the dog!

Room was clean and had everything we needed, with the nice addition of some balloons and a birthday message on our return after a day out for our daughter, having told them why we were there on arrival.
Staff really helpful throughout.
Last minute decision to eat in the bar area (restaurant fully booked) provided us with nice meals, which was against some of the reviews we had read, so I am assuming improvements have been made. Drink choices were good.
Breakfast was also good. My wife assured me the full English was tasty, the alternatives I could have were all very nice.
Quick use of the pool on our second day before breakfast. It was popular, but everything was clean. Didn’t get chance to use jacuzzi or steam and sauna unfortunately.
Only gripe was people smoking directly outside/slightly in, the entrance lobby, but that is just how some people are. I guess even if they were asked to step 3metres to the side they wouldn’t. But one for the reception staff to at least try?

Unfortunately, staffing is a real issue here. Had dinner which was fine, but staff were pulled all over resulting in very little attenuation to table service. Breakfast was no different. Not 1 clean table to sit at and no staff available to clean it. This is a huge failure on management and putting staff in an unnecessary situation. The hotel is tiring, and the communal areas were cold. I was in room 101, right above reception and near the door to the other bedrooms. This door creaked horrendously, from 6am it was relentless with guests moving through the hotel. What surprised me was not one employee or maintenance worker thought of addressing it.
It’s all about the finer details that makes a stay great.

Some great things about this hotel: excellent gym, one of the best massages I’ve had, super breakfast, spacious room. Some slightly less positive things: room was quite dusty, bed was a little small, and a real bench mark of a quality hotel for me - are the towels big and fluffy? They were not!

The main negative for me though: we had an awful journey up the motorway, which was closed in both directions, meaning we missed our 20h30 table reservation for supper. We kept in touch with reception during our journey, and were told the kitchens would be shutting at 21hr (last orders at 20h45). We finally got there at 21:02, and were told we couldn’t have any food other than a somewhat limited sandwich or pizza room service selection. Honestly, we’d have thought there could have been a little bit of flexibility. We ended up getting a picnic from Sainsbury’s round the corner - not what we had envisaged for what was meant to be a special night.

Overall, plenty of positives, but some bits and bobs that really let things down.

Bed has a mattress topper to hide the springs sticking through the mattress…really uncomfortable bed

Menu was really basic in evening burgers/pizzas …I’d expect better from a “spa” hotel

Breakfast was ok…but pretty basic food choices again I’d expect better for this type of hotel

Me and my partner were overall happy with our stay yet we both agreed that a few things could have been better.
When we checked in we were told that the person helping us was unsure to give us free breakfast even though our room came with it .

We got checked in and made our way to our room, which was not the one that was shown in pictures , after heading down to see what could be done we were given a new room, the new room was great and we both loved it .
We found a few hairs in the shower but overall the room was clean.

Could use aircon but we were provided with a fan.

Also when checking in we weren’t told any information about times of breakfast or where it was.
More helpful information would have been useful.

Overall we had a good stay just a few things could have made it better.

My husband and I stayed at this property for a weekend visit, in March 25. The breakfasts were great in the mornings!
On our first night we had food at the hotel, the menu choice was very poor, and very expensive, also the atmosphere in the dining area was dreadful.
It felt like a café.
It might have been more relaxing to lower the lights and put some music on in the background. Also the tables were not dressed with cloths and candles. It was not relaxing!
We loved swimming in the pool and all the staff were very friendly.
Our room was great but we had no view! We looked out on a large grass bank and a few trees.

Expected better ! Let down on a few aspects.

We booked this as somewhere nice to stay ahead of a family commitment in Sheffield. Whilst the hotel looks very nice in the pictures, there were some let-downs that did not meet expectations:-
Towel rail and key slot to enable room electrics were broken. Towel rail could not be fixed so towels could not be dried.
Several rooms nearby had multiple dogs in that were barking loudly for a lot of the time.
The restaurant food was generally tasty but the staff did not offer any flexibility with the menu, and many items are clearly cooked from frozen.
We hoped to use the pool with the family but it is closed to children from 5pm, which is not stated in the hotel description.

Excellent Hotel!

We were staying for the weekend for our anniversary and got a free upgrade mentioned upon checking in which was a great surprise considering when booking the girl said she would write on the mirror and get some balloons etc to mark the occasion! The room was huge and presented nicely with the little touches added by the staff. We only found the time to enjoy the spa facilities on the first day but enjoyed the pool and the hot tub and the steam room! The last day of our stay, we booked room service breakfast using the doorknob card provided. It arrived between the requested times and was still hot it was a great way to end the stay. We will definitely be staying again we had a great time! Thank you Mitch & Sean

Our kids were woken once at 11pm by the fire alarm which were apparently planned indoor fireworks at an event. There was no communication from staff as to whether we should leave the premises.
Then we were awoken again by a 40 birthday party in the room next door, shouting, screaming, playing music, and vomiting. We called reception (on our mobile as there was no phone in the room to call reception) but nothing was done about the noise. I don’t think the amount of money we paid is fair when we have had a stressful and sleepless night. Not great.
