Lovely hotel, very clean and staff Lovely. Used the spa which was nice but noticed the ice room needs some TLC (Mosiac tiles everywhere) and the seating in one sauna was broke. Food was high quality and tasty. Pillows were so comfy and the room had high end ELEMIS Toiletries. Overall a great stay.

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!)

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.

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.
