Room was clean and great overall, TV could be upgraded to a smart one really.. Breakfast- not the best. Sausages awful. Not a big selection. What annoyed most is that you have to wait 20min for coffee and tea as theres just one jug each? Terrible… get a few jugs and leave for people to get it themselves and not put a pink haired woman to run around with them, go refill for ages and do it all over again. Wheres logic in that? Where is class, where is customer comfort? Spa treatments overpriced £100 for a massage or £79 with a discount for a back stroke. Steam dangerously overheated, Pool freezing, Sauna’s bench broken, no jacuzzi to chill in. Menu on their website hasn’t been updated, so don’t be surprised to be charged more and have subpar food. No more scallops on the menu and replaced with Bass? Really? Probably the best fish to pick with no nutritional value and over price it. Biggest shock Large glass of red wine Malbec £18 significant difference between a glass of rose £9 20th Jan 9am Male Receptionist Rude, learn some manners and customer service. Overall expectation and reality- disappointing. Would not return or recommend sorry.

Overall the property is really good, staff is really friendly and helpful, the restaurant is really good and the breakfast was very good as well. Maybe they need to change a few things, like for example, our sink was broken, not sure for how long, but you'd like to think that a hotel like that will act quicker to those type of situations. Even with that, as for us it was a minor, we would like to stay again, the pool is really good and is so nice for walking.

I stayed at the MacDonald Portal overnight to attend Oulton Park raceway the following day. There’s ample, secure parking (inc EV chargers) the hotel is nicely appointed, the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The beds are superb. All the staff we’re more than helpful and the restaurant food was delicious. I will definitely start again in the future and can’t recommend it enough. (Must remember to bring swimming trunks next time too!)

What was Great: 1. It's a lovely countryside location. 2. Ample parking 3. From check-in to check-out, the staff were wonderful (special mention to Joe). 4. Nicely presented interior spaces 5. The room was well furnished, decorated, stocked and clean. 6. Pool, Steam rooms and saunas were excellent and the gym was well-equipped. 7. Golf courses were excellent Needs work: 1. Restaurant's evening meal was average for the price 2. Breakfast was decent for £18 but to charge a surplus £5 if you wanted avocado or eggs bene instead of a full English was wrong and unnecessarily disappointing. 3. Pool area was missing a Jacuzzi, which is usual and they had the room.

Stay was lovely and facilities, staff very good. We had room service try w first night due to late arrival and was good. 2nd night we went to eat in the car/restaurant but the options for children were nil, I would have expected some children friendly options even if just a reduced size/cost adult meal. The food on the 2nd night was poor, cold, under cooked and not appetising. The soup I ordered was totally different when it came and was cold. Otherwise a lovely stay. Good rooms l and the pool area was lovely.

Overall was good, but really let down by the restaurant. Evening meal portions were tiny and expensive Lack of staff on bars and serving food. Pre ordered starter didn't arrive until the main course, despite chasing two people. Nice hotel but let down by the restaurant.
