Hotels near St Mary and St Martin＇s Church, Blyth in Blyth

I have used this place a few times for groups. This time they really fell short. There is no one in charge. Very difficult to speak to a manager. Issues with the restaurant. Short staffed. Food was too salty. Soya sauce based dishes were not edible. No one asked when sent back unfinished if there was an issue. Only robots delivering food and very inexperience staff. Couldn't order more drinks in good time. Breakfast is buffet and is very basic. Ok. It is clean. However, for £250 a room I think that it is overpriced. Thank goodness for Trip.com much better rate 2 days before the event. Baths do not drain. Taps and fittings are loose or not finished properly. Poor customer service overall, despite having 5 rooms in our group and dinner for 10. Said they would call me back. Which they have not. That was after speaking to a man who said that he was not the manager, had only worked there for 8 weeks, yet told me that I was not familiar with the service industries! Such a shame. Will have to find somewhere else next time. Not a hint of a smile or an apology or anything to say that he would feed back. 🤷

WE HAD A FRIDGE The toilet sit had some soap smudge on it and initially thought is something else but if foamed when tried to clean it (I always have sanitizer with me as is only human to miss a spot and do a mistake. Didn't kill me cleaning that myself. Housekeeping job ain't easy. Bless you all. Just keep a better eye to avoid Karen type❤️) The receptionists were all friendly and happy to assist me with both check in and check out. We absolutely loved our room and the view was magnificent. The dawn was heavenly seen from our window❤️ What I loved the most was the fact that in the room we had a FRIDGE. Many hotels don't have that anymore and imagine having a room without a fridge with this heatwave going on 🥵 I will attach a photo with our beautiful view🤩 This hotel will be my top choice whenever I'll need a room around the area. Clean room, clean hallway, clean reception area. Please keep an eye for the accessible rooms. Read all description and detail before booking as they have special rooms for people with a health condition and the room will have some things at a low level to the ground. Will be your fault for not choosing the right room not the hotel's as you need to read description always. Don't take it out to the staff for your own mistake😊 Seen a lot complaining about that, as I've seen also about the rooms accessible and didn't understand the term initially, until I went through the details. After reading the details I knew exactly what room I need to book and what would not be convenient for me🙌 Bless you all and hope this review will be of help to some of you at least 😊

We had an overnight stay at this hotel. The location is just minutes from the M1. The staff were friendly and helpful. Yes we experienced problems with the key cards but resolved without fuss. Room was clean and beds very comfortable. We didn't experience any noise. There was plenty of tea/coffee and toiletries in the room. The breakfast had plenty of variety and good quality. Car parking just outside. A very good stay at a reasonable price. Can also recommend the Harvester next door. We had a very good meal and the staff were lovely.

10/10 Sitting in the beer garden you wouldn’t believe your so close to the M1. This hotel has a warm and friendly atmosphere at all times and the food in the restaurant is very nice and well cooked. House keeping keep the rooms incredibly tidy and clean and the staff here are very welcoming and helpful. Special thanks to Maddy and Ruby for delivering outstanding customer service.

Everything in this hotel was excellent, from the grounds upon arrival, to the checking in process, the room, the restaurant and the Wi-Fi. Stayed here on a business trip prior to a meeting. The room was spacious, modern and equipped with everything you need for a decent night’s stay. The bathroom was huge, one person mentioned there was enough room in their shower for twelve people! Room had its own air conditioning unit which meant I could set the perfect, comfortable temperature. Shower had all the necessary toiletries and there was plenty of loo roll provided. Restaurant was fresh and modern. Food was excellent and service was friendly. Would definitely come back.

Hotel was beautiful and clean. Service was great. Very friendly. Would visit again

We had the most beautiful wedding here on the 28th March 2022. I would highly recommend this venue to any future brides, the day was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Me and my maid of honour checked into the hotel the evening before and all the staff were so helpful, helping us carry things down the reception room and answering the every question I had - there were a lot! We ordered room service the evening before and it arrived hot and fast and was of an excellent quality. I feel it was very reasonably priced for the quality and I was shocked that the portion sizes were so good. I stayed in the Tang both the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding, the room is so beautifully decorated and luxurious. The bed was so comfy I had the best nights sleep - even the night before the wedding which I was surprised at! The morning of the wedding staff checked on me which was very much appreciated to see if there was anything I needed. Special thanks to the receptionists who were absolutely lovely throughout our stay! The wedding ran so smoothly, Charlie who co-ordinated our day was honestly amazing and she always made sure I had everything I needed - including a drink in my hand at all times 😂 Everyone made sure every aspect of the day was taken care of and nothing was too much trouble! The food was absolutely incredible too. The ham hock terrine was of an excellent standard, I didn’t have the braised beef but everyone said it was absolutely incredible and they had never tasted anything like it. I didn’t have the opportunity to eat the buffet but all my guests loved it! We also had the cake of cheese which was a real showpiece - so beautifully presented. Overall, our day was incredible. I’m so glad I chose Aston Hall as our wedding venue and I really wish I could do it all over again!

The hotel itself isn't terrible. The staff were friendly. I had a standard room, modern bathroom, looked lovely, but shower and bathroom taps leaked every time the room above used their bath/shower. So obviously aesthetics over decent plumbing on the bathrooms!The lock on the bedroom door was questionable at best, it was obvious the door had been forced at some point and broken locks replaced! Didnt fill me with confidence. The Breakfast was OK (dont expect even a choice of how you want your eggs its scrambled or nothing!) but cooked to order, which is a bonus. The worst thing about this hotel is its in a very run down town and some of their residents, who im assuming are living here through emergency housing plans represent this, no respect for anyone else, shouting and screeching in hallways in the early hours. I expect the homeless man who sits on the steps of the next door building outside would have at least been more respectful had he been ever offered a room! I wouldn't return, I'd rather stay 30 miles out of town and commute in than stay anywhere near the centre of Doncaster again! Felt very unsafe both in and out of the hotel. Awful place! Feel sorry for the hotel, think they're fighting a losing battle. Its one of the worst Mercure I've stayed in, it's grimy, stains on curtains,carpets you dont want to put your fet on etc, but the FOH seem to be doing their best, but even when here as a place to sleep when away for business, its not a place you can relax!

From the moment I arrived on a very wet Wednesday night I was greeted by very friendly staff on Reception who processed my checkin really fast and pointed me in the direction of my room. The room was clean and well presented. For a budget hotel this hotel is great value.
