Magical stay in beautiful country home. Baby bed unavailable it seems but we managed with a small bed. The mattress of our bed was a little used but otherwise there was nothing to fault. The gardens were also really wonderful.

6/10

Stayed one night at MacDonald Hotel. The hotel was nice enough but could do with a little freshen up. For example all of the printed information/ brochures in the room were very old and battered, which wouldn't take much to reprint them. And the information sheet given over at reception was a very badly photocopied sheet. Just little things that would expect to be updated regularly. The spa is also managed separately from the main hotel with separate receptions. Room service food, breakfast, and afternoon tea food was all good and staff were very friendly.

6/10

Hotel could be (and probably was 10 years ago) amazing, but now very, very tired and very worn. Old fixtures and fittings, just looks neglected and not of a decent standard. Breakfast absolutely abysmal, hardly any food at the buffet and not regularly restocked, staff tried their best mind. Grounds lovely, best part of the hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful!!

Perfect for my son and me. We really enjoyed playing tennis, using the pool and gym. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated it being made to order. Room was pretty tired, but it was fine for our purposes. A great stay for the price.

It’s a lovely hotel, great gym and pool and sauna. Breakfast is fantastic. Rooms I’ve had in the main tower and nearer the pool have all been good. Dog friendly and now has EV charging!

Such a comfortable bed, room was immaculate, staff were superb and so friendly and helpful. As I was leaving each morning before breakfast was served I was given to option of a breakfast bag which contained plenty to keep you going till lunch. All facilities are excellent and kept to extremely high standards.
