The property is very tired and in desperate need of an upgrade. Our room had a tiny little radiator with the windows letting in plenty of cold air. Disappointing for such a well known brand like Macdonald to let it's properties get like this. The food was excellent - which is always a reason to stay with MacDonald - but unfortunately, we won't be back to this hotel (not least until it's had a bit of tlc).

We had a really good time here. Staff were great, accommodation was good for the whole family, and the facilities were great. Looks as though it's currently undergoing some much needed updating. But apart from that, was a great hotel.

Liked that it was very cosy, very comfortable bed, exceptionally helpful and polite staff. Liked the dining room and bar areas and the open fires. Impressive to see the pool and tennis courts. Very comfortable and relaxing stay and would definitely go back. Wasn't expecting nearly as much as it delivered. Small constructive criticisms: shampoo is in a container that is inaccessible from the bath; be good to have some loose soap for use there. The exterior (and some interior areas) could do with redecoration - peeling paint etc. However great venue.
