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!

Used to be fabulous

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.

Shiort break

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

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.

Excellent retreat

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.
