Great break in Cheshire
A customer who stayed at this hotel wrote this review.
We stayed at the McDonald Portal Golf and Spa Hotel for 3 nights. It was by far one of the best hotels we have stayed in! Leisure facilities were fab and staff were so helpful. Breakfasts were excellent. The hotel is in a beautiful location on the outskirts of Tarporley a beautiful village about 10 miles out of Chester. It is ideal for visiting Chester shops, zoo and only an hours drive into Wales. The rooms were huge and extremely clean. The hotel is only 2 years old and the spa is really good and prices are reasonable. The pool is extremely good for the children as the depth is 1.2m the whole length. Our children (aged 8 and 9) also enjoyed the showers around the pool as they had drench, cold and fragrance. The ice room/steam rooms/saunas were all very clean and not busy. We did not eat at the hotel but tried local pubs in the area, the best one we found at Beeston on the main road oppoisite the railway line (think it was called The Castle). Good choice of menu and prices good (especially for families and they have senior citizen menus too). We went to Chester Zoo which we all really enjoyed and took a picnic to the local locks to watch the narrow boats. We also had a day on the beach in Llandudno. All in all an excellent break and we will definitely return.

Anniversary Weekend in Chester
A customer who stayed at this hotel wrote this review.
My Husband and I stayed overbnight at the Macdonald Portal Hotel to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Hotel room was lovely. The facilities were very good. If is an ideal base to be away from it all in the countryside. We would definately stay here again. the only complaint we had was the service or should I say lack of service at breakfast time. It was very poor.

A Restful Time Out
A customer from Wallasey who stayed at this hotel wrote this review.
We had a very peaceful time at the portal in Tarpoley. But the pool was full of young children at 4:00pm so we could not swim there was no evidance of a notice about child times in the pool.
