Have stayed at the Macdonald resort often and have always been thoroughly happy with our rooms This time I was disappointed with the room we were booked into. Though it was clean and functional it was very old fashioned. and felt as if the area we were in was more like staff quarters.

For my room, it was at the back of the complex so heard trucks all night long travel down the Motorway. The bed was large but felt I was falling out when I was near the end of the bed. The room was clean well maintained but slightly dated. Pints of peroni £6.90

Wouldn't rate it 4 star
Cold breakfast every morning, served on cold plates. also kept running out or eggs’ potato scones etc. long wait to be seated, 15 mins., standing at the top of the stairs ( with 4 collapsed discs in my spine.) finally get your tea, no milk. Next day no toast, more cold food. Service was so slow. Staff are run off their feet trying to cope. I said to an older woman serving at the food counter, maybe need more staff. She implied it was our fault for all turning up at the same time. I politely asked what is the best time to come for breakfast..to avoid this..she said, don’t turn up at the same time. Hotel is not 4 star. We’ve stayed in many in Dubai etc. dated, overpriced, understaffed. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. We spent an hour in the bar, a large crowd of people finished their drink and left. The cluttered 7 tables weren’t cleared at any time during our hour. Even though the bar staff had gone from 1 to 3. And no one waiting to be served. I couldn’t get my small shop mobility scooter to my room, as we were on a split level landing..lift was up, or down 9 stairs! Room was pleasant if a bit old..and it was clean. Warm enough. Sorry to be so disappointed. It was a treat fit my hubby 82nd birthday. Hotel is central to shoot etc.

Stayed at Highland Hotel. Breakfast good, full range of food and on a par with most hotels. Rooms bit dated but clean and tidy. Pool joined on to this hotel and is excellent. Caters for all ages.We were hesitant after reading reviews on this hotel but don’t let them put you off. Not a 5* but good central base for exploring the area.

Breakfast was Luke warm with only one set of tongs for 4 food items. Potato Scones were like tortilla chips they were so overcooked. Spout on tea pot was broken, mismatched cups on table, food on salt and pepper pots. Lack of care and attention to detail.

Bit disappointed for what we paid for the hotel. It was lovely downstairs but although the room appeared clean the less obvious areas required a good dusting. There was also no fridge which we have had in all the hotel rooms we have stayed in in recent years. The buffet breakfast was an also disappointing. On the first day the hot food was not hot and was slightly undercooked. Second day was acceptable but the third day it was overcooked, particularly the bacon. However all staff we had dealings with were very pleasant and helpful. The swimming pool and leisure centre was also excellent.
