It's fine
Check in smooth and fine. Room dated, lighting in bathroom was hanging off ceiling, they couldn't fix until the morning (when we check out so what's the point?) told them to just remove the light completely. Dinner was OK, nothing special. Breakfast not the best. Hotel is dated, best days behind her. Just to note, it's an extra £20 an hour after checkout if you wish to stay longer. I asked if it were possible to checkout at 12pm rather than 11am... Thought that because of the issues we faced with the room x they would oblige, however, wasn't going to pay additional to do so. Never managed the pool with the kids. If you're looking for no frills, then this is your place. Grounds are lovely, staff pleasant.

Lovely hotel
Great hotel stay for a night after a week of working away. Hotel is lovely, large, clean and boasts a lovely bar and breakfast area. Staff were helpful. Nice pool though not too big. Highlight of the hotel is its beautiful, comfortable, cost, well decorated rooms. I loved my room and the entire layout and slept well as it was so quiet thanks to an added set of doors that leads via suite entrance into the bedroom.

Poor value for money
Very dated Hotel and rooms. Extremely noisy lift that made a loud buzzing/humming sound (avoid room 107), made worse by a Wedding with loud music that went on until the early hours. Steam room was barely working and no water fountain available in the pool/spa area.

Disappointed
Surprisingly, very disappointed in our stay at MacDonald Crutherland. We have stayed here in the past and have always been keen to come back. On this occasion, we paid a premium due to the hotel being booked up, mostly for a wedding. Maybe as a result of the wedding, the service was poor, at times we were unable to get hold of anyone at the front desk or on the phone. We were put in a room which overlooked the service entrance to the function room and from 4pm until after 1am there were vans reversing and speeding about the car park (one reversed into a tall street light in the car park before driving off and staff didn’t even bother to check it). The vans were filled with crates and equipment which were noisily trundled along in metal cages into the venue, while the workers shouted loudly to each other, using offensive language. Then as the party was in full swing everything was noisily returned to the vans with even less care for hotel guests like myself, who had children trying to sleep. We tried to call reception and got no answer, which meant I had to get out of bed at 12.45am to go looking for someone to show them videos of the noise and to ask them to get them to keep the noise down. This would have been bad enough if we had not already been denied a long lie that morning, due to work being carried out which meant we were woken at 7.50am by power tools and workmen shouting. The 2 power cuts the following morning were the final straw and we were glad to be going home.

Thumbs down
Check in was excellent. In the room the catches on the window were broken, there was no hairdryer, there was no tv remote and the tea/coffee box looked as if it either hadnt been topped up from tge previous gues or thrown together with stuff missing. The mattress was far to soft and not comfortable during the night. Alo there was a strange smell in the room on entering.

Value for money it was pretty good. However having known McDonald Hotels for 40 years there were some slightly disappointing things. TV did not really work. Bar, which served Henricks Gin, had no cucumber. Barman said Chef would not provide it. Not sure what the 'Catch of the Day' was. we were told Cod. A few minutes later another table were quoted Hake. So, not sure what we had. For sweet we ordered Lemon Tart with rhubarb compote. It came with red berries compote and no mention. Tbh not really good enough. But this is being really picky, sorry. RJW
