Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa Cobblers Cross, Cheshire

We stayed for two nights and three days - and it was a fantastic experience from the very start through to our departure. Everything was beyond perfect. The level of service and attention to detail across the whole hotel and spa was outstanding. We had breakfast and lunch at the hotel - which was very lovely, tasty and good value for money. Each morning we took advantage of the spa facilities by having a little swim, steam room and sauna. Some of the extra special touches we liked - the water taps (still and sparkling) near our hotel room, the Elemis shower products in the room and also the WhatsApp messages from the hotel. Thank you to all of the staff at Portal who made us feel so welcome and provided us with a high level of service for the duration of our stay! It was a true pre Christmas delightful stay.

We regularly stay at the Macdonald in Tarporley so we know it very well. The property is situated in the heart of Cheshire with beautiful views surrounding the grounds. We booked the exec suite this time as a well needed break after the Christmas chaos and it was truly stunning. So much room and outside space on the balcony, it was truly stunning. I had a treatment at the spa Signature + a full facial carried out by the lovely Laura and I cannot express my gratitude for her service. She is an incredible massage therapist and truly made me feel at ease from the moment we met. Treatments were truly relaxing and wonderful, sent me off into a world of my own. I definitely fell asleep which is exactly what was needed. We had dinner in the restaurant it was absolutely delicious. We had the crab and cheese, main was the steak fritte and pudding was the sticky toffee pudding and crumble - all absolutely delicious. We had the most incredible sleep. The beds are remarkably comfortable

Excellent value for bed and breakfast. huge bedroom, comfy bed, again, huge! :) great views from bedroom as well as bar area. Free access to pool and sauna.

Staff were lovely. Room was very clean, upgraded for free, pool is a good size , clean and warm. Breakfast was table service ( a big improvement compared to our last visit ) good breakfast. Evening meal average, burgers were the best value. They don't serve cocktails. Service was good.Temperature perfect in room. Lovely walk around the golf course. Good value for BandB

A friendly welcome, we were expected. Parking was easy but quite a walk to the entrance for a disabled person. I liked the fact that there were taps of chilled water both sparkling and still freely available. All staff we had contact with were lovely.
