The staff were very friendly and welcoming and our room was fabulous with a queen size bed as well as bunk beds for the children. The dining room was beautiful, spacious and spotlessly clean with wonderful views of the lake. Would 100% stay here again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/235d31ee-d364-4d86-b243-a0615fd74843-1765111495444.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/460fa460-5626-4cef-bc8b-06c89af7d05f-1765111495909.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f8921deb-69e6-467f-8954-865a2274ae86-1765111491366.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Narhari Sep 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great character property in a great location. ##### Narhari Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Magdalena Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall no complain!

Room cleaned daily to a high standard. Good spa facilities but pool was cold due to maintenance issue. Ideally located for shops pubs etc. Only down side £25 per day car parking charge, but not a lot of alternative parking available. ##### Ralph Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### greg Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel great location. ##### greg Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colette Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

All very close to plenty of watering holes and restaurants, made for a great weekend! ##### Allan Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mark Oct 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service Lovely and helpful customer facing staff. Breakfast service very slow. Pool was freezing. Car parking provided by hotel at a charge (£25/day), and offsite. We stayed 15 years ago and had left with a much better impression then. We wouldn’t look to return after this visit. ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leanne Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is fantastic ##### Leanne Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hilary Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely stay for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, we upgraded our room to Super Deluxe which was very spacious and had a great view of the lake. A card was left in our room wishing us a happy anniversary which was a nice touch. Perfect location, breakfast was good and staff were exceptional. Our room wasn’t ready until 4 which is what the hotel states as check in time, this is a bit later than most hotels but we enjoyed a drink at the bar while we waited. Overall a lovely relaxing stay and we would definitely return. ##### Hilary Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony Jan 18, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Will start with the negatives first. 1\. Parking after I booked was £25 per night which you don't have to go with, opted for parking in Glebe Road for £21.60 for 3 days which is a 5 minute walk from the hotel, all amenities are within a 5 minute walk from the hotel so no need to drive anywhere. 2\. Breakfast was nice but most of the options on the menu are with a £5 supplement added on top if you've already paid for B&B. 3\. Spa facilities are not what you would expect for the price, consists of a swimming pool and a place to receive treatments nothing more, little disappointing if I'm honest. These are the only 3 negatives. Hotel very clean and the room we booked was very nice, staff were really friendly. We didn't have food in the hotel apart from breakfast so can not comment on this or drinks as we enjoyed the restaurants and bars within walking distance from the hotel, atmosphere around the area was brilliant. Already looking at booking our next stay and wouldn't hesitate staying at the Macdonald Old England again apart from the first three negatives hotel was really nice. Was a bit sceptical after reading some reviews but our experience was brilliant. ##### Tony Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel with lovely helpful staff. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Lovely Break We had a very enjoyable stay beds very comfortable, rooms fully equipped pool was beautiful ##### Melanie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvonne Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The staff were lovely The public toilets were very smelly.
