Enjoyable and relaxing stay at...

Liked: I really enjoyed my stay at the Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. I slept really well. I visited the swimming pool which was warm and the changing facilities were clean with free lockers. Breakfast in the morning was very tasty with friendly service from the staff. The Reception staff were very friendly and helpful too. The location of the hotel is great for Ellesmere Port, Cheshire Oaks, Chester and even North Wales. Thank you. I highly recommend this hotel and I would happily stay again.
Disliked: Nothing. I enjoyed my stay very much.

Good but could be great...

Liked: The large flat lawn is great for the kids to run around on, the play area keeps them entertained.The pool is family friendly as the kids have their own side to play on.
Disliked: The kids have to vacate the pool earlier than the adults which makes it difficult to get to in time when you have a busy day planned. It rushed us back from the zoo.The dinner service on the Saturday night was poor, wrongly charged, delays between food courses, main course plates not cleared for dessert, had to keep requesting cutlery, senior team didn't even seem apologetic. Mitch the waiter was the saving grace - he made sure things got resolved.

Exceptional

Liked: Lovely clean hotel in a beautiful setting with stunning gardens.Evening meals were very good. Had the breakfast a couple of mornings which was good but disagree with having to pay extra for a latte instead of the pot of coffee, they should just swap that for you, other than that a lovely hotel.
