Mercure Bridgwater Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Checked into Leonardo Hotel Swindon today and they looked after me brilliantly ✨ Got a lovely surprise upgrade — huge, spacious room up on the 7th floor, spotlessly clean, with that classic warm decor they do so well. Best of all? A proper deep bath instead of just a shower — total luxury after travelling! Staff were friendly, quick, and really welcoming. Great location, super comfortable, and exactly the steady base I needed. Proper good stay so far 💤🛁"

"Great location and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Room was ok bathroom needs modernisation and attention to detail such as more loo rolls and hand soap as not enough for the duration of our stay. Would stay again if the price doesn’t increase as I think it’s high end for what you get."

"This is a very old property and so of course it does look a little tired in places and the wifi is not so great but they were the only negatives. The hotel is in a fantastic place right in the middle of the High St and it has a car park which is a godsend. The food menu in the bar is excellent for lunches and dinner. Definitely add the breakfast as there is so much choice from cooked oprions to pastries, cereals and fruit and all of the the food was delicious. The staff were so lovely and couldn't help enough. Dawn the manager even let me use the hotel phone when I was having trouble ringing out. I would definitely recommend this place and the bed was incredibly comfortable!"
