good service, food a little to rich for me.

Stephanie L. Couples - 4/13/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Very friendly staff, the room was clean and well presented. The addition of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the bathroom was amazing and the double showers were great.

Dear Stephanie L., Thank you for your kind words regarding your recent stay. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness of your room and our amenities. Your positive feedback about our staff and shower experience is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Sincerely, Damian Kaye General Manager

Robert B. Couples - 4/12/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The breakfast experience was poor. No service staff around until we were about to leave (though there were 2 kitchen staff in the food preparation area). The general layout of buffet food seemed to have been not tidied up over the course of the breakfast period - just a lack of care and attention. The buffet breakfast was lukewarm at best, the fried eggs “hard”, cold baked beans. For £15 each the breakfast was poor value, the quality of all of the ingredients seemed like supermarket value fare. I wish that we had gone to McDonalds instead.

Dear Robert B., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent breakfast experience at Mercure Bridgwater Hotel. I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you encountered during your stay. It is disappointing to hear that the service was lacking and that the buffet presentation did not meet your expectations. I know one of the team felt dizzy during breakfast so she was helped by other departments for a short time so she could take a seat in the staff areas so am sorry if this contributed to the issues you experienced as we strive to maintain a high standard of quality and attention to detail, and it is clear that we fell short in this instance. Additionally, I regret that the temperature and quality of the food did not align with your expectations. Your comments will be reviewed with the team as we continuously work towards enhancing our offerings. Sincerely, Damian Kaye General Manager

Hannah P. Couples - 4/12/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

On arriving there was a drunk in the alley way that threw a can of cider towards us. My partner cut his arm on the bathroom door handle. The room was very small .. not enough room although we booked a premium room. Also was told didn't have decaf coffee for breakfast. Booked early check in at 12, when arrived at 1.30 advised pur room wasn't even ready and had to wait

Dear Hannah p., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay. I sincerely apologise for the unfortunate encounter you experienced upon arrival, as safety and comfort are our top priorities. I regret to learn the room size failed to meet your expectations, it would appear you booked a Balcony room which has the same internal space as a Double room, if you would prefer a larger room I would recommend either a King room or Privilege room (some of which also have balcony if wanted the outdoor space) as these both have a larger footprint and more internal space. I have asked the Restaurant Manager to review their stock levels as there should be decaff coffee available for breakfast so I'm sorry if we ran out during your visit. Furthermore, delays in room readiness are not what we strive for, and I appreciate your patience in this matter. Your comments are valued and will be taken into consideration as we work towards enhancing our guest experience. Sincerely, Damian Kaye General Manager

Jonathan G. Couples - 4/11/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

A lovely overnight stay at a professionally run hotel. We had a room with a balcony which was clean, well equipped and although a little compact gave us the ability to sit out in the fresh air and watch the world go by. The staff were friendly and helpful especially the bar tender on the night we stayed. We ate at the bar rather than the in the posh main restaurant and the burgers we had were excellent and great value for money. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area. Highly recommended.

Dear John G, Thank you for your kind review and for recommending Mercure Bridgwater Hotel. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, particularly your room with the balcony, and that you found it to be clean and well-equipped. It is wonderful to know that you appreciated the excellent burgers and service at our bar. We understand that street noise can sometimes be an issue, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter. We strive to provide our guests with a comfortable experience, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us achieve that. We are also delighted that you were able to enjoy the local wildlife during your stay, if you are interested we'd recommend a trip to Steart Marshes which hosts some magnificent flora and fauna. We look forward to welcoming you back during your next visit to the area. Sincerely, Damian Kaye General Manager
