Macdonald Linden Hall Hotel, Golf & Spa

The breakfast was first rate, the cooked breakfast was just enough and cooked to perfection. The staff were amazing, really friendly and helpful which greatly improved the whole experience. The building internally would benefit from a little attention eg. Some flaking paintwork in hallway, but nothing offensive, and did not affect our stay at all. The room was clean and well presented, so glad we upgraded to Deluxe double. Noticed a little black mould on the grout around bath, but it was clear that the bathroom had been thoroughly cleamed. We loved staying at the Macdonald Linden, and would happily recommend it to other travellers We hope to return soon. Great base for exploring the beauty of Northumberland. An altogether great weekend.

Bar food was over priced. Room was clean but TV extremely outdated. Staff did not have good customer service skills Stayed in room 9 and throughout the whole night there was a very loud banging noise which continued throughout. Noise was not from the room. Neither of us slept at all. Bed was extremely comfortable and ehower was excellent. Bathroom good size

Room was lovely, however the reception was never manned with staff smoking outside, everything just needs a lick of paint, no staff tidying in the spa leading to towels and cups everywhere, lifts out of order and water machines not working. Food and service in the Linden tree however was fantastic!

Very nice rooms and facilities. Grounds are stunning for a walk

Pros - The building and grounds are beautiful. Staff are very friendly and service was efficient. Rooms clean, and spacious with good heating. Cons - Room in general just requires updating. Wardrobe door broken supposed to slide but you have to lift it to move it and it was heavy. A lot of the channels on the TV didn’t work either. We were supposed to get a king but got two singles pushed together which creates an awkward dip in the middle. Not enough loungers or even seats in the spa area. People were turning up with literally nowhere left to sit and we couldn’t get a lounger one of the days we were there. Steam room and sauna broken during our stay (sauna got fixed late on the second afternoon of a two night stay).
