Nice hotel but definitely dated. Could use a deep clean. Carpets in rooms have been there for quite some time as well as the furniture. Stained chairs and couches. Old and historic should not be confused with dirty and disrepair. Staff were extremely friendly, Helpful and always smiling.

Spa great. Swimming lanes in the pool were useful as there a few children playing with a ball in the pool too. Restaurant had a few GF options and staff seemed knowledgable. Food was of good quality. (Gf burger and chips and steak with chips and mushroom) Room spotless although the shower (over a bath) leaked all over the floor!! Bed allowed a good nights sleep.

The rooms were ok, the carpets were hideous, dust at the bottom of the window frame, the sealant was starting to break up around the bathtub and the mirrors demister was loose. The alcohol was so expensive, the food was also expensive but special.

Nice hotel with good pool and facilities

Nice hotel, the pool and steam room were very nice, plenty of parking and there is limited outdoor seating which is a big shame for summer months, but bar and restaurant are comfortable. Upgrading to better rooms may only get you robes and slippers, but for some people thats a worthwhile thing, and there are some bigger rooms too

We had a lovely stay, room was a little dated but the bed was comfortable and shower great, rest of the hotel had a luxurious feel and the dining options were great and could have been excellent with just a couple of details improved like the butter being soft for the bread and fish and chips was a half portion of fish so was disappointing. The spa was gorgeous, just missing a jacuzzi. Overall a great stay and very attentive staff.

Just Underwhelming....

Just underwhelming. Breakfast was horrible, food overpriced. Sausages dried up, eggs precooked...just horrible. No phones in rooms, Qr codes used. Asked for warm/ hot milk for kid... was brought but freezing. Tried to call reception again 4 times no answer. Just not a 4 star hotel as advertised. Pool was also cold and room was over heated... just dont rush to hotel. Staff were pleasent. About only thing up to date at hotel.

Overpriced and underwhelming

As seems to be a theme with MacDonald hotels, the experience doesn't match the price point. The staff couldn't be faulted. Polite, friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean enough but everything looks tired and shabby. Room was a great size but bed hard and uncomfortable. No fridge in room and if you want functioning WiFi you have to pay extra which seems an absolute joke for over £120 a night. Didn't eat at the restaurant as the reviews weren't good. A cup of coffee is over £5. Impossible to contact reception from the room. Would not recommend.

Less than warm welcome. The beds were from 1940 and dipped in the centre. The put up beds for the children were filthy. The view was tennis courts that were falling apart with rubbish all over. The walls were disgusting and the shower pressure was so bad it was hardly worth using. The entire property needs reinvestment. Definately not is advertised.

The room we stayed in wasn’t as clean as we would have liked it to be. Sticky marks on tables, bedside tables, yellow stains around sink/bath taps, the chairs, carpets in room were in need of replacement, carpets and wall paper in ground corridors need to be updated too. The reception, restaurant and surrounding areas were lovely, clean and modern.
