National Forest hotel guide. Macdonald Hotels hotel in National Forest, England

"It's undergoing renovations in the foyer areas which is fine. My room was ok but some basic things like the toilet flush button was broken and the shower flex was damaged so the head only sprayed sideways. "

"Staff very efficient and helpful, rooms all clean and facilities clean. Breakfast was amazing, beautifully cooked nothing too much trouble and afain staff so helpful."

"Air conditioning was fine"

"The room for three of us was big enough, and also spacious parking space. The staff were kind and helpful. Convenient location. Reasonable price. Overall, very good!"

"I checked in around 9pm the guy on the reception was very friendly and welcoming. Very ambient and relaxed environment. Very cooperative staff need ironing so they provided all what I need. Beds are good with privacy curtains, so get your own little space. Not sure about the kitchen, food and wifi bcs haven’t tried. Overall experience really good feels like I am home. Next time I am definitely coming in this fraction of price"

"Great value and good central location"

"One of the nicest hotels I've stayed at. Staff are fantastic - so helpful and friendly. I had a problem with my shower flooding. Maintenance tried to fix it but couldn't so I was immediately given a new room. I was even offered a staff member to help me move. There is a gym, a pool and a snooker room. Bar is well staffed with a good range of beverages. Prices are not unreasonable for a hotel and service is very good. Bar food is also available. Restaurant food is good and wait staff helpful. Prices are reasonable for a hotel of this size. Breakfast is buffet style. Food kept hot and refreshed regularly. Plenty of options, full English or continental or a mix of both (I like to have a bit of both) so something for everyone. I was staying for a car show at the NEC and the hotel is conveniently located for this venue. I needed cabs to get me there and back the cost was around £10 each way. However it is walkable via a back route it takes around 10 to 15 minutes depending on your pace. I have stayed at this hotel before and will happily stay at the Arden again."

"Lovely hotel and facilities, nice clean rooms, different options for eating. Set in beautiful grounds. "

"The staff were very friendly and helpful.Room was clean. Bar was good. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice. "
