Every member of staff we met was fantastic, warm friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. The dinner menu wasn’t great and was very overpriced for what you got and the taste didn’t quite match up to the prices. Beautiful grounds surrounding the hotel and excellent treatments in the spa

Staff unhelpful and arrogant. Normally the type of hotel I would enjoy staying in but the staff have soured the experience for me. Function guests made it difficult to access check-in and parking was chaotic with no supervision by staff.

This property is still serving the 1970s in terms of decor and feel Although the rooms sre clean and tidy, you find yourself in a time warp There are no 3 pin bed sockets and when yoh have power ut doesn't work - no electrical socket power including USB The restaurant has a limited choice and unfortunately the menu is uninspiring. The bar and the restaurant shut before 8.30pm Never tried the Spa or pool as didnt have time..... The booking didnt live up to the billing I'm afraid. We wont hurry back.....

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We were there 20 years ago and the hotel was amazing food service really busy atmosphere was great, attention to detail brilliant, that was for our honeymoon , we went back 10 years later for our anniversary it was good and busy but not near as good as the first time,this time the staff were not well trained, the menu was limited, the first night we had to have our meal in the cocktail bar as 2 staff members were off, it was busy and frantic my prawn cocktail was very poor , the breakfasts were good and second night in dlnnlng room food was good but limited choice and no atmosphere, overall it is hard to believe how a hotel 20 years ago was so good and has gone down hill so badly we were planning going back for our 25th and maybe staying a week but that will not happen now and we will never visit any macdonald hotels again.

Just ok

Happy enough for what we needed. Rooms a bit tired and musty, wobbly chairs, broken TV remote, sink not draining well but appeared clean enough. Front desk staff lovely. Breakfast was a little interesting, the poor staff seemed really overwhelmed. Not much selection and lots of things appeared to have ran out. As I said, fine for our needs and we are quite chill but definitely no wow factor. Pool - freezing cold showers and freezing cold changing room!! really was so super cold!!

Stayed 1 night with my 2 granddaughters Staff very friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast was lovely. The room was spotless. Only complaint was It was meant to be a family room for 3. I expected a Queen sized bad or a double with a sofabed, not a standard double bed. Should not have been advertised as a family room
