Macdonald Linden Hall Golf & Country Club

Lovely, hotel i paid to upgrade the room to a king size bed. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was great. Only niggle is the bathroom, there was a crack in the sink and the bath had a lot of mildew on the silicon. The pool is quite small but very clean. I would stay there again.

All the staff were lovely and helpful so friendly and helped make our stay better. We got breakfast in with the price and spa facilities were in with the price too which were all great and fully working

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this magnificent property! Sitting at breakfast with views of the gardens was a dream! The food was amazing- the staff were friendly and the property was stunning! We enjoyed walking the grounds and soaking up the beauty and privacy of this amazing place. We literally cannot wait to return to Linden Hall on our next trip to Northumberland!

Lovely location. Staff very friendly.

Lovely grounds and setting. Used to be a high class hotel but things have gone down hill. Food was good but all staff miserable. We stayed last year and they still havent sorted the towel supply out for the pool- bring your own if you want one.

We stayed for 3 nights as a family of 6 adults and 2 teens. Had a great time, staff were excellent especially Sharron on reception and a lady on breakfasts. Did not get her name. Nothing was too much for the staff. We had a puppy with us, so every morning they laid a table for us in the lounge So Winnie could sit with us. The rooms are spacious and clean and beds best I’ve stayed in. Lots of areas to sit with fires burning to be comfortable and warm. Pool area was nice and times for children were good. Gentleman who worked on the cocktail was very friendly and always said when he was moving over to the pub to see if we wanted a drink before he left. We throughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back when visiting family again. Thanks to all staff

Fantastic venue, staff very helpful. The food in the attached pub was exceptional quality and quantity at a decent price. The use of the spa facilities was an added bonus.

Last stayed nearly 33yrs ago on our wedding night Bizarrely stayed in same room! Places a little tired but froendly helpful staff Meal in the linden tree was super quick and tasty

Don't stay here! We foolishly booked in to this "hotel" for 3 nights at he end of October 24. The building,grounds and claimed facilities appeared to warrant its 4 star classification.Big mistake....learn from our error The building is beyond tired,its exhausted. Scruffy,dirty and uncared for is being polite. Our room on arrival was unheated and squalid. It was positioned close to the banqueting hall and next to the "dogroom" The music stopped after midnight but the barking of abandoned dogs lasted much longer. The night porter was inept and powerless. Breakfast was appalling. Tossed out with rudeness and disinterest by untrained personnel. The sausages and bacon were raw and the single slice of toast per guest measly. A request for another tea was declined. The final straw came when the shower spontaneously, and without warning, changed from tepid to scalding causing significant burns. We left to the luxury of a real 4 star establishment in Newcastle. Subsequently we wrote to the manager. He offered a return stay...ha never again! More importantly he claimed to be surprised by our criticisms. Clearly he has never read previous reviews. (I wish I had) I wrote to the Mac Donalds directors and got no reply. So be warned...save your money book elsewhere.

Lovely location well presented grounds and main house . Friendly staff and great value for money. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in recently

Lovely secluded hotel, beautiful building in absolutely gorgeous scenery. Food was delicious both in hotel restaurant for breakfast and afternoon tea and also in Linden Tree pub for evening meal. Bedroom was spacious and had all that was needed, comfy bed, good sized bathroom with a decent pressure shower over the bath. The spa was well worth the money too.

It needs a little updating our room was quite tired.

.

Not bad but not the standard one would expect for the price and star rating.

we paid for an upgrade which included 2 bottles of water- didnt have slippers didnt have no toiletries in bathroom and 7 dead flies!! we asked for housekeeping to clean the flies up we were given small bottles of toiletries and 2 bottles of water. asked for extra milk! during the evening we killed another 7 flies so asked to be moved which they did allow is to was given the upgrade money back and 10% back as well. i did feel that the staff didn’t believe me that there was no toiletries and also about the flies! also they want an extra £6 for poached eggs and avocado breakfast cost £24 already how can they justify another £6 it wasn't worth £24 the spa was u supervised and changing were untidy and not very clean

Spa staff were lovely and very accommodating. Long waits in the bar restaurant but food was good.

Not entirely sure my wife didnt get bit to death by bed mites, she has bites all over the sides of her face from the pillow, I travel with my own pillow so NO BITES.. my wife unfortunately is coverein bites..

The bathroom had mould in it and we requested a move to another room which took place; the lockers in the gents changing room were dirty and in the ladies changing room there were flies; in the swimming pool the ceiling requires attention and showers next to the steam room the pannelling was curling up and dirty; we reserved a table in the restaurant and later informed that it only served breakfast and had to eat in the pub where the food was average and attention needs to be taken concerning peoples clothing which had food stains on them which is not a good look. The whole property is somewhat tired and requires investment. The staff were pleasant and listened to our request concerning the room.

Beautiful property in excellent, well maintained grounds. Dining was exceptional and the spa and leisure facilities were perfect.

we arrived last minute and were made very welcome. The staff were very helpful. A good night sleep was had.
