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!)

Only go for the golf.
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.

Stayed here a few times ( on business) but this was not a good visit . Ordered tea for meeting which lead to 3 seperate requests for teaspoon for tea, milk served in a teacup ( which didn’t pour) then offered a catering stainless milk jug ( large ) after asking 2 times. Continental breakfast offering is poor for £18 with ‘plastic cheese’ ham as only option to 2 pastries and one yoghurt. Toast wasn’t even included as i was told it was only an available with cooked. Room was great and the gentleman in reception was very courteous.

Hotel room was OK little outdated no usb ports and only 2 plugs available, spa area of hotel was outdated and felt more like a council run leisure centre, food was terrible over £20 for a burger which when came was like a Iceland frozen burger, breakfast not much better and service really slow, Staff in other parts of hotel really helpful just seemed under staffed for size of hotel. My wife even found shards of glass in her drink from the bar which cut her lip, bar staff informed and was hesitant about replacing drink.

Disappointing for a four star at 4* prices
For a four star it is looking a bit dated and the room we had was in need of updating and repair, (Room 317 - Broken sink). Great location if you are a golfer. The pool area was ok, nothing special, again looking tired, you only get a robe if you are having a treatment. Evening meal was nice, but restaurant was full of golfing parties and very loud. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. Totally disorganised, a shortage of crockery and cutlery and ran out of food. You had to ask for everything and the staff were not very attentive. Their main focus is golf, there was people pushing golf trolleys around the hotel, even into their rooms. If you are on a golf deal when probably ok price, but for everyone else expensive for what it is.

The accessible room was fine except that the shower floor wet room was tiled so nervous when wet. Little supply of room biscuits/ milk/ tea etc. Service at breakfast was very slow and inefficiently done. Pool was fine to use, plenty of changing room space.
