Have stayed at the Macdonald resort often and have always been thoroughly happy with our rooms This time I was disappointed with the room we were booked into. Though it was clean and functional it was very old fashioned. and felt as if the area we were in was more like staff quarters.

For my room, it was at the back of the complex so heard trucks all night long travel down the Motorway. The bed was large but felt I was falling out when I was near the end of the bed. The room was clean well maintained but slightly dated. Pints of peroni £6.90

Looking tired
Macdonald hotels used to be much more pleasant to stay in, but the touch of class just isn't there anymore. Our bathroom was dirty, the bedding had tears in it, there were no sockets next to the bed, the shower water pressure spluttered and scalded me every so often, the supposed sofa bed for my daughter was actually a camp bed... The resort itself was ok, although with just one slide the pool was lackluster. The team did make an effort to put in events for the children but we didn't bother using them as we really just wanted to explore the beautiful surrounding area. There was lots of choice at breakfast time but none of it was especially tasty.
