Mercure Burton Upon Trent, Newton Park

The 4-star Mercure Burton Upon Trent Newton Park is a grand, Italianate-style country manor in eight acres of grounds. The former home of Staffordshire brewer William Worthington, this Burton-upon-Trent hotel is a grade-II listed building that's the perfect destination for a weekend break. The hotel is just three miles from Burton-upon-Trent and seven miles from Derby. For modern-day thrills, take a family daytrip to nearby Alton Towers theme park (tickets for sale at reception).
