Macdonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa

We hebben er een goede tijd gehad. Het zwembad was ook goed. Ontbijt voortreffelijk Diner een beetje aan de dure kant bediening 100%. (je kunt ook in de bar eten dat is goedkoper)

Perfect hotel, super mooie kamer, geweldig goed bed en heerlijk ontbijt. Gebruik van zwembad en sauna werkelijk fantastisch. Alleen geen WiFi op de kamer. Voor de rest top!

Overall I liked the place, but from my room’s bathtub sink some very peculiar liquid, with pieces of food, started to come out. Very disgusting experience.

2 night stay to attend local wedding. Check in was smooth room as one would expect. How ever we thought a swim, sauna and a steam session would while away an hour or two before others we were meeting were due. Unfortunately the pool area was full and no admittance could be gained until 6! We passed and went and sat outside the sports bar. Pleased to say the drinks were not top heavy hotel prices which was just as well as we spent all evening in there! We ordered bar meals and the ploughmans was missing the pickled onions. Waitress immediately offered a free drink, rather than go and check if they had merely been forgotten. From this action we assumed that meals were often complained about. And so to breakfast! Although busy we did not have to wait long to be seated and asked if we would like coffee & toast. We got up and helped are selves to the very good selection of cooked food, juices pastries etc. We had eaten our breakfast completely before the coffee and toast arrived. No apology just an excuse of 50 tables came down for breakfast at the same time. Have no objection to waiting but to be told would if been good. They ran out of plates and bowls too and when told I was asked are you sure! Suggest you drop from 3 suited and booted (management) to more waiters and waitresses and get some kitchen staff to wash up. Reduce the amount of tables so the queue is longer but you can keep up with service, on the second day there was no brown toast and the white was soggy!

Main problem was that we had paid for a double bed but two, single beds were pushed together. The manager said it was a king sized bed! I never heard such rubbish! Other issues: various functions disabled on the TV including subtitles and list of programmes, no safe, fridge which did not work and various minor issues. Lovely area, lots of parking space and excellent breakfast.
