The hotel generally is in real need of some money spending on it and standards have declined significantly in the 4 or so years since we last stayed here. We won’t be rushing back. ##### Graham Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvonne 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The staff were lovely The public toilets were very smelly. The rooms needed tlc especially bathrooms Horrendously uncomfortable bed and pillows. Strong smell of cleaning fluid ##### Yvonne Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hilary 17 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely stay for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, we upgraded our room to Super Deluxe which was very spacious and had a great view of the lake. A card was left in our room wishing us a happy anniversary which was a nice touch. Perfect location, breakfast was good and staff were exceptional. Our room wasn’t ready until 4 which is what the hotel states as check in time, this is a bit later than most hotels but we enjoyed a drink at the bar while we waited. Overall a lovely relaxing stay and we would definitely return. ##### Hilary Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colette 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

Some areas are a little tired but good stay overall. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christopher 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities A lot of money for average accommodation. Shower head would not stay at top of pole kept sliding down ,crack in sink base. Room too hot even with radiator turned off ,opened window to cool down but could hear a generator running day and night. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### asif 22 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Thanks ##### asif Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allan 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Very enjoyable stay in a very comfortable room with a spectacular view of the lake, thanks to Sandra on reception being most helpful. All very close to plenty of watering holes and restaurants, made for a great weekend! ##### Allan Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Steven 26 Oct 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff really good but disgusted with how much the room we booked was in regards to what the brochure showed. This hotel is an average 3 star. Nowhere near a 4 star as it is advertised. We payed over 700 POUNDS. to be placed in a room that basically i have stayed in better Travelodges !!!!!!! For 2 nights !!!!!!. Macdonald you should be ashamed !!!! Will never stay here again and will definately tell anyone who asks to go elsewhere. And on top of the RIDICULOUS pricing you HAVE to pay a ridiculous 50 POUNDS A DAY for parking which is a way away from this ridiculous example of a 4 star hotel. Oh well lesson learned. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was very tired and in need of a refurbish. The bed pleather was so old and scuffed. No fridge in the room for a hotel of this price. We had an upgrade and the robes were well washed out and greyish. No slippers ! We were told we could walk to the spa but we had to go to reception and ask for slippers. Not enough loungers round the pool. The car park was not on the hotel grounds and £25 a day is so expensive. We wouldn’t return!!! The staff were lovely ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5324e27b-d6df-4d00-b19b-721ef08b3ae1-1760890499297.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### A V 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nothing great except location Hotel is quite old property. Not worth the price. Location is good. Hotel does not provide any basic stuff like moisturiser, vanity kit etc. did not like it. ##### A V Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cerny 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Great last minute stay, lovely breakfast, helpful staff ##### Cerny Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcela 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful spot The most wonderful stay, was unaware there was a pre-planned surprise awaiting us to celebrate our engagement.
