Situated in the attractive village of Little Wymondley, near Hitchin, Letchworth and Stevenage, the Menzies Blakemore (formerly Thistle Stevenage) is a secluded comfortable hotel set in landscaped grounds, yet close to the motorway and rail network. Perfect for a relaxing break with spacious accommodation and a stylish Brasserie and lounge. The Menzies Blakemore also boasts some of the best conference and function facilities in the area. Menzies Hotels expansion continues with the acquisition of eight former Thistle Properties in August 2007. Over the next 18 months the company will be carrying out a £12 million capital investment programme to refurbish and reposition the eight properties in line with the existing portfolio.
