Nice hotel and spa, a bit weird having to walk outside from the spa to get back to the hotel room. friendly staff and good service. Food and drinks were very overpriced which spoiled it. £28 for avocado on toast breakfast I would expect to pay at the Savoy!
Overall a nice trip but the catering costs spoiled it. I would recommend eating elsewhere

Lovely hotel, great staff, reasonable price to stay, however the bar and restaurant prices were very excessive. I guess its down to being a captive audience and greed.

The property is in a very poor state. The furniture is very tired.
I have seen sparks come from my electric radiator, there are nails in the walls hanging out.
My shower had no hot water.
The wifi is terrible and should not be considered to be available.
The entire hotel smells of damp.
I would not stay at the hotel again.

Hotel nice, but rooms very tired, King Size bed was two singles pushed together with the join being very noticeable and very unformattable along with being very soft and uncomfortable mattresses.
Room was in need of decoration , wasn't very clean with marks on the walls and even a peanut on the corner of the floor in the bathroom! Shower was very poor quality with very little pressure. Rooms and bathroom need modernising.
Breakfast was OK, but was shocked that they could charge £24 for a cooked breakfast each and still charge a supplement for some items!
Wasn't our best stay in a hotel and can think of better cheaper chain hotels with more comfortable rooms.
Sorry but just our opinion but not worth what we paid for it very disapointed and glad it was only for one night

We stayed for 1 night with our granddaughter whilst visiting Cheshire. The room was pleasant. Our bed was comfortable but the sofa bed our granddaughter was on had a very thin mattress meaning she didn't sleep very well
We picked this hotel as as it had a pool and luckily we arrived early as we didn't realise children were not allowed in the pool after 6pm.
My wife visited the spa and had a facial but unfortunately this is were the Mcdonald part of the name kicked in as she felt she was getting the fast food version of a treatment from someone who was clearly ready to go home!
A saving grace for us was the breakfast. It did take a while to arrive but it was well worth the wait. Really good quality ingredients, everything cooked perfectly, and very friendly efficient waiting staff. A definite 5* for breakfast!
