My stay included a spacious apartment with great cooking facilities and convenient access to a relaxing spa. I encountered some cleanliness issues upon arrival and found the prices for food and drinks to be quite high. It's a good spot for families looking for activities and relaxation.

Beautiful grounds for strolls

Large indoor spaces, outstanding outdoor pool area, characterful architecture

Rooms clearly need more upkeep!!! Cobwebs and dusty lamp shades are uninviting!!! Noise from the ferry is relentless, making relaxation difficult. Facilities like pools need regular maintenance and cleaning!!! A serious rethink on decor is warranted!!!

pleasant stay with minor room issues

The staff provided excellent support during our three-day stay. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, especially the well-maintained garden that added charm to our experience.

The room had some minor maintenance issues that could benefit from attention.

definitely want to stay in that area again

Spacious one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, lounge, and dining area. We had our own patio and private bathroom, very comfy beds. Enjoyed the spa's body treatments and relaxing indoor and outdoor pools. Gorgeous grounds for walks and just a short walk to town for groceries. John at the bar made our stay special!

the building and grounds were stunning, n the staff were super nice, especially kim who made us feel completly welcomed. the apartment had great cooking facilities n was really clean. we enjoyed the access to the spa and gym, too. the location was perfect for walking into town.

the only downside was that we were near the recycling bins which got noisy early n there was a wedding event that night with loud music but it ended at midnight.

Great pool and huge room. Wi-Fi was spotty but overall enjoyed our stay.

We had a fantastic stay! The indoor pool was a highlight, perfect for kids. The spacious apartment was well-equipped and very comfy. I’d definitely choose this place again!

macdonald is a beautiful resort with breathtaking views. we stayed in a classic studio apartment with a private balcony overlooking the solent. the location is perfect, just a 2-minute walk from the ferry terminal, making day trips to the isle of wight easy. we loved the afternoon tea and the excellent reception staff really made our stay memorable.

would recommend

The Macdonald resort exceeded my expectations with its stunning grounds and well-maintained facilities. My Classic One Bedroom Apartment was spacious, equipped with all the necessary kitchen appliances, and offered a comfortable bed for restful nights. The staff were remarkable, particularly John in the bar, who went out of his way to ensure a pleasant experience. it was an excellent place for my business stay.

Some cleanliness issues were noted, like cobwebs and dusty lampshades.

Couple's charming escape

The view from the balcony was breathtaking we could see the boats coming in and out of the marina. Also had a massage in the spa worth every penny and totally relaxing.

It wasn't exactly cheap but you know what they say you get what you pay for.

Stunning grounds with friendly staff

The grounds and gardens were absolutely beautiful, providing a perfect backdrop for a tranquil getaway. I appreciated the spaciousness of my Classic Extra Two Bedroom Apartment, making it ideal for family gatherings. The staff were genuinely welcoming, especially Kim, who made my stay memorable. the apartments could use some updates and general maintenance to enhance the overall experience.

The stay was enjoyable with a great location that's a short walk to the charming town centre. The apartment was clean and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals for the family. The indoor pool was a hit with the kids, providing a warm space for fun and relaxation. the food and drink options were quite pricey and the menu felt limited.
