Really lovely hotel, spa was okay. No Jacuzzi which I hadn’t realised but did disappoint us slightly. Rooms were nice and quality of the treatment was very good! Be aware parking at the hotel it £20 per night where’s up the road it’s £18 for three days.

Very relaxed, very organised, the full body massage was deep-tissue, me and my partner side by side during treatment, very professional. Lunch was gorgeous. Very happy!

Spa was lovely, staff are super friendly. Downfall our room was located at the front of the building so was noisy from traffic and the pub next to us.

Staff were lovely and the location of the Hotel is perfect. We paid for an upgrade to a deluxe room and got a lovely view of the lake. Spa was average, pool was cold and the Spa staff were not as attentive as in the rest of the hotel. Afternoon was included in the package but was disappointing and literally half the size of the other afternoon teas that were being served to customers who had obviously paid full price. It is not acceptable to be treated as a second rate customer because we have booked through a website offer.

Staff unbelievably helpful and polite. The spa, gym pool are amazing and clean, food was cooked to perfection and good selection to choose from, my spa experience was to die for, coming back next year and spending two weeks here.

Myself and sister in law had 1 nights stay as we needed a pamper. The facial was amazing, the staff throughout the hotel and spa were very polite and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was immaculately clean and very spacious. We were in a deluxe twin. The views at breakfast are amazing overlooking the lake. Would certainly return and recommend. Thank you MacDonald Old England.
