8/10 Good
"Large hotel which although it has seen better days, is being well looked after by the current owners and was noticeably cleaner than when we were there a year ago. The food choice was basically traditional English pub style but prepared well."

"We have stayed here quite a few times and the staff are always so helpful, professional and friendly. Everything is beautifully designed, clean and well maintained. Our room was lovely. It was both comfortable and tasteful. The breakfast buffet had great variety and was thoughtfully displayed and very well staffed. We are always impressed with how smoothly everything runs at this hotel. The pride that all staff take in their work shines through at every level of this establishment :)"

"The staff were very kind and helpful, the hotel is in a nice location, a taxi or car ride from town, has a bar and you can sit outside over looking the lake with an amazing view. The hot tub in the room was so relaxing and again with lovely views. Would stay again 😁"

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Excellent central location. The staff were helpful especially in reception and spa. The dining staff were efficient but less cheerful than one might expect in an establishment like this. Breakfast was plentiful but uninspiring. Luggage drop off was difficult due to heavy vehicles blocking the hotel entrance. The plumbing made a loud vibrating noise for 10 minutes after each toilet flush. The shower had excellent pressure and hot water. The room mini fridge had the internal light hanging down and the fridge didn’t appear to work. The hotel has old world charm and despite the small foibles mentioned above is a good accommodation option."
