Mercure Barnsley Tankersley

Perched in Barnsley just off Junction 36 of the M1, this manor-style hotel sits elevated and backs onto woodland. It’s a short drive from the Peak District National Park and Meadowhall Shopping Centre, with Sheffield and Doncaster airports within easy reach — ideal for pet-friendly and family-friendly stays near city and country.

Built around a 17th-century residence, Tankersley Manor blends original features — exposed beams and Yorkshire stone sills — with a contemporary bedroom wing. The 98 newly refurbished rooms mix handcrafted layers and pops of colour, and bathrooms offer bathtubs or rainfall showers, TVs, safes and tea/coffee makers. Expect relaxed, modern country-house vibes and woodland views.

Unwind in a full-service spa with five treatment rooms, or hit the Leisure Club for a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. There’s a gym, picnic area, banquet and event spaces, two bars/lounges and 24-hour room service. Free on-site parking and complimentary Wi-Fi keep stays simple and hassle-free — wake up to fresh woodland mornings.

Flexible meeting and event space totalling 3,617 sq ft (11 meeting rooms) plus a purpose-built conference centre. Services include express check-out, dry cleaning, 24-hour front desk and free self-parking — good for conferences, presentations and corporate stays.

Brasserie-style dining with a Yorkshire twist anchors on-site meals at the Bar and Brasserie. Two bars/lounges invite relaxed drinks, buffet breakfasts are available on weekdays (6:30–9:30 AM) and 24-hour room service keeps late nights covered.
