“Macdonald Portal Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort certainly sits pretty in the Cheshire countryside, and golf enthusiasts will find the three courses a real draw. While some areas show their age, the Elemis spa treatments and that indoor pool with its views, provide genuine relaxation. I think it's a solid choice for a leisure escape, particularly if you're after a bit of pampering after a round.”
