Mercure Perth

Perth has pretty surroundings. In fact, a member of the Big Deal team ventured out that way to enjoy a wedding with a difference in a converted barn.

It was outstanding in its field. (Sorry – that was bad!)

There are lots of other reasons to visit Perth over the next few months.

And we haven’t even begun to list the opportunities for outdoor sports, walks, distillery visits, golf and wildlife watching.

Whatever floats your boat, enjoy it from a cosy base at Mercure Perth hotel, thanks to this Big Deal.

Do yourself a favour and sit in the bar and have a drink and watch the water from the mill run under where you are sitting…’
