Overall Ratings & Reviews Macdonald Linden Hall Golf & Country Club

Lovely hotel, very relaxing and private. Quiet with bar next door to it that serves beautiful food

Unfortunately ,as seems to be the way now, the hotel has gone cashless! The bar in the hotel was not open ,and the drinks in the "pub" extortionate. Staff pleasant .the room o.k. if a little dark .Fan in bath room inoperable.

Staff in hotel on evening were obnoxious you were made to feel unwelcome. Belly pork was under cooked. outside setting was broken and dirty. Room in need of up dating paint peeling in bathroom. Breakfast staff were in a hurry for you to order . Breakfast was nicely presented and tasty .

Lovely stay, comfy bed, dinner at onsite pub was delicious. Extensive, well maintained grounds to walk around. Loved the small things like the notice in our room offering fresh milk and ice if you called reception and the filtered water dispenser in the area outside our room

The hotel out front is very nice, but the rooms are very outdated, carpets very dirty, awful smell in our bathroom on our first night. Shower gels were not refilled (with just a tiny bit in the bottle), we left our towels on the floor in order for the cleaners to change them. She put them back on the rack with clear sign of dirt on it. WiFi not working. Overall experience is just bad… very different from other Macdonald spa hotels we’ve stayed at. Not relaxing at all once we got back to the room.

Enjoyed our stay here, but the annex area seemed a bit dated and could use some sprucing up. The main house area was beautiful though. Would come back, but I'd want to stay in the main building and not the annex next time

Service & food at dinner in Linden Inn was to a high standard Breakfast buffet was sparse. Breakfast cooked to order was well presented but lukewarm. Tea & toast ordered went to another table who had only sat down Very squeaky floors in bedroom and decor needs updating. Long driveway to hotel needs attention

Sadly needs a huge update looking very tired and breakfast was cheap quality compared to our other visits here

Great night in the hotel spa

We booked a superior room but it was very tired and in need of redecoration also had to change rooms to get a late checkout. We were told at reception that our room was one of their most popular but the door outside the room was continually banging through out the night. I would advise anyone staying not to take room 9 or 10.

The hotel seems a little underfunded. All of the staff are both helpful and pleasant. However, the bar was never open during our stay and reception was not always manned. Yes, tea and coffee in the room, standard teabags and Nescafe sachets, perhaps a little biscuit or real milk would have been more pleasant. Or perhaps not screwing the soap to the wall like a Travelodge would have given a better impression. Breakfast was very pleasant but don't be looking for hygiene as there were no tongs for pastries and the yoghurt and fruit was open to, well, anything :-(

Made the mistake of booking the most basic room. Take my advice and upgrade. We stayed here previously and had a fantastic room but this one was tiny, the bed was too small for us and the duvet was so thin we were cold overnight. Breakfast was great and dinner nice too We will return but I will pay for a better room next time

Stayed for a large family birthday celebration. Allocated private room for the event. Staff very friendly, country side location with large grounds. Overall food was very good (evening meal and breakfast) A great time was had by all.

Bedroom and main areas of the hotel were a little tired, though the spa/swimming pool area was very good - very clean and nicely lit. The Linden Tree pub/dining area was nice enough. The food was delicious, though some parts of the mains were a little cold, which was disappointing. Breakfast was a 3/5 - the tea was flavourless and buffet options were a little limited. The poached eggs were very well done, though.

Will stay again

Excellent Stay nice Spa and Room

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.
