Macdonald Hotels Cashback: UK Spa, Golf and Lodge Breaks
Macdonald Hotels is a UK hotel group that is built around short breaks, spa stays, golf and self-catering lodges, and you can earn Coin7 cashback on a booking if you start from our store page. Here is what the group is good for, how to pick between a hotel and a lodge and what to read before you pay.
What Macdonald Hotels is
Macdonald is a UK-based group with around 29 hotels, alongside 9 self-catering resorts, 16 spas and 8 golf courses. The properties are spread across the countryside, cities and coastal spots, and the offer covers a lot of ground: a simple overnight stay, a spa break, a golf package or a longer trip in a lodge with its own kitchen.
The group sits towards the higher end of the market. It is not where you look first if the only goal is the cheapest city bed for a night. It is where you look when you want a proper break, with a spa, a good restaurant or a golf course on the doorstep.
Who it suits
- Couples who want a weekend with a spa treatment and a long dinner instead of sightseeing.
- Golfers who would rather book accommodation and course in one place than piece a trip together.
- Families or groups of friends who prefer a lodge with a kitchen over two hotel rooms, especially for a week.
- Anyone planning a celebration, such as a birthday or an anniversary, where the setting matters as much as the room.
Hotel, spa break or lodge: how to choose
Ask yourself first what you will actually do. If most of your day is spent outside the property, a plain hotel room is enough and you can save the budget for something else. If the spa or the course is the reason for going, book a package that includes it, because paying for treatments and rounds separately is easy to overlook when comparing prices.
A lodge makes sense when there are several of you or when you stay for more than a few nights. You cook when you want, the children can have their own space and you are not tied to restaurant hours. A hotel makes sense for one or two nights, when you do not want to think about shopping or washing up.
Search your dates, look at the hotel or package that fits, and compare the rates offered. Flexible rates usually cost more but allow changes. Prepaid rates are often cheaper but are often not refundable.
What to check before you pay
Cancellation terms depend on the rate you book, so read them at the booking step and not afterwards. Check what the price includes: breakfast, dinner, spa access, a round of golf or only the room. Look at the check-in and check-out times, parking, and whether there are extra charges for things like use of facilities on arrival day. For lodges, ask whether linen and cleaning are included.
If you travel with children or a dog, check the rules of the specific property. A group like this has very different places under one name, and what is allowed in one is not automatically allowed in another.
How to get cashback at Macdonald Hotels
Open Coin7 and go to the Macdonald Hotels page. Use the button to go to the group’s site rather than visiting it directly, search your dates, choose your hotel or spa package and complete the booking as usual, in the same session. The cashback is booked as pending first and confirmed once the stay is confirmed. The current rate is on our store page. Some types of bookings, such as spa products, can have a different rate than room bookings, so check the store page for what is included before you book. If a voucher code is listed there, use only that one.
If a cancellation or change reduces what you actually pay, the cashback is adjusted to match, and it is only confirmed after the usual waiting period.
Frequently asked questions
Can I cancel a Macdonald Hotels booking for free?
It depends on the rate you book. Flexible rates usually allow free changes, while prepaid rates often do not. Check the conditions shown at booking.
Does cashback cover spa and golf packages too, or just room bookings?
Bookings made through the link on our store page generally count, but the rate can differ by type. Check the store page for exactly what is included before you book.
What happens to my cashback if I need to cancel?
If a cancellation or change reduces what you actually pay, the cashback is adjusted. A cancelled booking earns none.

No. The group also runs self-catering resorts and lodges, spas and golf courses.
How high is the cashback?
The current rate is always shown on our store page, because it can change.
